The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Harvest of intertidal, nonfood invertebrates, 1972
Since 1962 persons desiring to harvest intertidal nonfood invertebrates in permit areas or in excess of personal-use bag limits have been required to obtain a collecting permit from the Fish Commission and report the number of animals collected and areas

Shark bite scars were analysed on coastal dolphins in southeast Queensland, Australia to compare the predation risk between species and habitats. Australian humpback dolphins (Sousa sahulensis) exhibited the highest bite rates and individuals found in sheltered waters had higher shark bite scar prevalence than open waters.

Fish utilisation of bioengineered intertidal habitats in the Thames Estuary [PDF]
Over the past two centuries the floodplain of the Thames Estuary has been progressively encroached upon or reclaimed, leading to the depletion of intertidal habitats such as saltmarshes, seagrass beds and mudflats.

Defragmenting Mangrove Law Towards Coherent Global Governance
Mangrove conservation outcomes are increasingly shaped not only by scientific evidence, but also by how laws and policies translate ecological knowledge into protection measures and restoration practices. Our paper links legal fragmentation to ecological consequences.

Diet as a mechanism of coexistence between intertidal fish species of the U.K.
While the syntopic nature of many intertidal fish communities suggest that resources such as food are shared, little has been done to assess the importance of diet on the coexistence of intertidal fish of the U.K.

ABSTRACT Investigating the impacts of the plastics on our environment, and the potential adverse effects on fauna, has become increasingly important. While a number of studies have shown that microplastic levels in sediments generally increase with proximity to urban regions, fewer studies have investigated how ...

Benthic Microalgae Respond More Strongly to Warming and Salinity Than Zooplankton
The effects of multiple simultaneous stressors on different trophic levels are poorly known. Warming changed the composition of both benthic diatom and zooplankton communities, but the interaction of warming and decreasing salinity affected only benthic diatoms. ABSTRACT The effects of elevated temperature are pronounced in high latitudes where warming

We describe unusual and mostly unreported morphological traits on colonies of the deep‐water sea pens Ptilella and Pennatula from the Northwest Atlantic, namely the presence of hypertrophied polyps, split polyp leaves, and autozooids budding on the surface of polyp leaves (as opposed to the edges). ABSTRACT Here we describe unusual morphological traits
