Variation in detrital enrichment causes spatio-temporal variation in soft-sediment assemblages

Kelaher, BP Levinton, JS

We investigated the importance of algal detritus in determining complex patterns of spatio-temporal variation in annelid assemblages in sites separated by 10s of meters on mudflats on Long Island, ...

Mechanisms influencing the spread of a native marine alga

Zhang, D Glasby, TM Ralph, PJ Gribben, PE

Like invasive macrophytes, some native macrophytes are spreading rapidly with consequences for community structure. There is evidence that the native alga Caulerpa filiformis is spreading along int...
