A limpet's eye view of post‐glacial isostasy: fixed biological indicators provide new sea‐level index points for the Mid‐Holocene relative highstand in eastern Northern Ireland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Bioerosional scars made by limpets (Patella) on a cliff in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, indicate a Mid‐Holocene RSL of +7.8±0.55 m relative to local mid‐tide level today. This is higher than previous empirical data for the region and extrapolated levels from raised shorelines in Scotland but consistent with some recent GIA models.

Chasing Fish: 130 Years of Innovation, Displacement and Depletion in Scottish Fisheries

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rebuilding the depleted fisheries of the 21st century requires an understanding of past drivers of their decline. Despite Scotland's central role in the commercial exploitation of North Sea fisheries for over a century, associations between technological innovations, regulatory introductions and fishery landings have not previously been ...

Assessment of a Baited Remote Underwater Video Method to Evaluate American Lobster (Homarus americanus) Response to Baits in Nature

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The American Lobster (Homarus americanus) is the target of an extensive fishery in the Northwest Atlantic, yet there is no systematic method for evaluating relative performance of baits for the fishery. We used Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) to assess lobster attraction to commercial baits versus natural prey.

Differences in sperm ultrastructure between Mytilus chilensis and Mytilus galloprovincialis (Bivalvia, Mytilidae): could be used as a taxonomic trait?

open access: yesLatin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2014
The sperm ultrastructure has been used to solve several systematic and phylogenetic problems in marine invertebrates. The sperm ultrastructure of the Chilean mussel Mytilus chilensis and Mytilus galloprovincialis corresponds to the ect-aquasperm type ...

Impact of noise on the behaviour and biochemical parameters of the crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus and Cherax destructor

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of acoustic stimulus on the behavioural and biochemical responses of two species of crayfish, Cherax destructor and Cherax quadricarinatus. Our results showed that exposure to noise significantly affects in both species motility parameters, agonistic interactions and acoustic signals emitted. In terms of

Genome‐wide insights into introgression and its consequences for genome‐wide heterozygosity in the Mytilus species complex across Europe

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2020
The three mussel species comprising the Mytilus complex are widespread across Europe and readily hybridize when they occur in sympatry, resulting in a mosaic of populations with varying genomic backgrounds. Two of these species, M.

Benthic fauna dynamics following large‐scale seagrass restoration in an exposed environment

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Seagrass meadows are vital habitats, modifying hydrodynamic energy flows and sustaining biodiversity in the benthic environment. As such, there is a growing interest in using seagrass as a nature‐based solution for coastal adaptation. However, planting seagrass in hydrodynamically exposed environments is challenging, and the trajectories and timescales

Interspecific facilitation, elevation, and site influence survival and growth for intertidal Ostrea angasi restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The flat oyster Ostrea angasi previously formed extensive reefs throughout temperate regions of Australia. These reefs were overharvested and destroyed after European colonization and have been functionally extinct for >150 years. While large‐scale subtidal O.
