Inter-relationships between benthic macroinvertebrates and habitat types in Broke Inlet, south-western Australia. Report to the Ernest Hodgkin Trust for Estuary Education and Research, September 2008 [PDF]
, 2008 The benthic macroinvertebrate fauna of Broke Inlet, a seasonally-open estuary located in the South coast of Western Australia was sampled seasonally between spring 2007 and autumn 2008 at 20 nearshore sites throughout the estuary. These sites were chosen

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

Estuarine benthic diversity declines with temperature across a tropical–temperate gradient
Ecography, EarlyView.Estuarine benthic sediments are important habitats that support ecosystem health and productivity, but the drivers of large‐scale patterns in benthic diversity are not well documented. Using 18S amplicon sequencing of 425 sediment DNA samples from estuaries spanning 20° of latitude along Australia's east coast, we assessed tropical–temperate patterns ...

Wave exposure as a predictor of benthic habitat distribution on high energy temperate reefs
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015 The new found ability to measure physical attributes of the marine environment at high resolution across broad spatial scales has driven the rapid evolution of benthic habitat mapping as a field in its own right.
