Functional and structural responses to marine urbanisation
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 Urban areas have broad ecological footprints with complex impacts on natural systems. In coastal areas, growing populations are advancing their urban footprint into the ocean through the construction of seawalls and other built infrastructure.

Attachment of oysters to natural substrata by biologically induced marine carbonate cement
, 2010 Oysters live permanently immobilised by cementation of the left valve to a hard substrate. The contact zone between oysters and natural substrata has been analysed using SEM imaging, electron dispersive X-ray microanalysis, electron backscatter ...

Autophagy plays an important role in protecting Pacific oysters from OsHV-1 and Vibrio aestuarianus infections [PDF]
, 2015 Recent mass mortality outbreaks around the world in Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas, have seriously affected the aquaculture economy. Although the causes for these mortality outbreaks appear complex, infectious agents are involved.

Direct, but not indirect, predation‐risk cues deter larval settlement in a scyphozoan jellyfish
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Predators can shape population dynamics before consumption occurs, with prey using chemical information to guide larval settlement. We show that jellyfish larvae (Aurelia coerulea) respond selectively to predation‐risk cues, reducing settlement in response to predator presence and active predation cues, but not to residual cues from previously preyed ...

Folklore Studies, Fieldwork and the Making of a Domestic Anthropology in Fin‐de‐Siècle Britain
History, EarlyView.Abstract This article follows the ‘communities of knowledge‐making’ that formed around folklore collection at the end of the nineteenth century. Often regarded as eccentric or marginal figures in the history of human science, these collectors in fact engaged in lively and sophisticated discussions about the methodologies needed to study the mental ...

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts
Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.
