Alternative approaches to modelling lake ecosystems

, 2014
The development of modelling in aquatic ecology has focused on mechanistic biogeochemical models.  However, such models have substantial data requirements for inputs and also for proper validation, which hinders their use for less studied systems ...

A marine Plankton-Plastic Predation Loop: selective grazing, excretion and reingestion of microplastics by the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis

Microplastics and Nanoplastics
Microplastics are pollutants of global concern, e.g. disturbing trophic interactions as an indigestible prey. While experimental studies show that some zooplankton ingest microplastics (MP), less is known about MP trophic interactions with rotifer ...

Assessing the Diversity of New Zealand's Freshwater Copepods (Crustacea:Copepoda) using Mitochondrial DNA (COI) Sequences

, 2014
The diversity of New Zealand’s freshwater copepods has been largely understudied. In order to enhance our understanding of this taxon, I used the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit one (COI) gene sequences to examine the diversity of two orders ...

The balance of carbon emissions versus burial in fish ponds: The role of primary producers and management practices

Aquaculture Reports
In the global carbon cycle, ponds can play a dual role: they have the capacity to store carbon through sedimentation, but also to be important greenhouse gas emitters.

Pest or pastime? Coarse fish in Aotearoa/New Zealand

, 2009
Freshwater ecosystems are extremely important, both socially and ecologically, in Aotearoa/New Zealand. However, through detrimental practices of land-use change and the introduction of non-indigenous aquatic species, the health of freshwater areas is ...

Ameliorating Effect of Chloride on Nitrite Toxicity to Freshwater Invertebrates with Different Physiology: a Comparative Study Between Amphipods and Planarians

, 2008
High nitrite concentrations in freshwater ecosystems may cause toxicity to aquatic animals. These living organisms can take nitrite up from water through their chloride cells, subsequently suffering oxidation of their respiratory pigments (hemoglobin ...

Seasonal effects of treated sewage effluents upon the reproduction and development of European freshwater molluscs

, 2009
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.The most widespread evidence of environmental endocrine disruption in aquatic wildlife is from the feminising effects of oestrogenic endocrine disrupting ...
