Satellite tracking reveals sex-specific differences in the geographical and vertical habitat use of Whale sharks, Rhincodon typus, in the Eastern Indian ocean Open
Satellite tagging of whale sharks ( Rhincodon typus) has typically focused on juvenile males which dominate coastal aggregation sites, with limited data on the movements of females. We satellite-tagged 39 whale sharks of 3.75–9.27 m total …

Ontogenetic changes in green turtle (Chelonia mydas) diet and home range in a tropical lagoon Open
Ontogenetic changes in habitat and diet are widespread among marine species. Most species of sea turtles are characterized by extreme ontogenetic changes in habitat use and diet, with large changes occurring in early developmental stages (…

Effect of a Once in 100-Year Flood on a Subtropical Coastal Phytoplankton Community Open
Subtropical systems experience occasional severe floods, dramatically altering the phytoplankton community structure, in response to changes in salinity, nutrients, and light. This study examined the effects of a 1:100 year summer flood on…

Long-Term Acoustic Monitoring Reveals Site Fidelity, Reproductive Migrations, and Sex Specific Differences in Habitat Use and Migratory Timing in a Large Coastal Shark (Negaprion acutidens) Open
Knowledge of the movement patterns of the lemon shark Negaprion acutidens is poor in contrast to the allopatric N. brevirostis . Using acoustic telemetry, we investigated daily (diel and tidal) and seasonal patterns in residency, fidelity,…

Recurrent coral bleaching in north-western Australia and associated declines in coral cover Open
Coral reefs have been heavily affected by elevated sea-surface temperature (SST) and coral bleaching since the late 1980s; however, until recently coastal reefs of north-western Australia have been relatively unaffected compared to Timor S…

Trawl fishing impacts on the status of seabed fauna in diverse regions of the globe Open
Bottom trawl fishing is a controversial activity. It yields about a quarter of the world's wild seafood, but also has impacts on the marine environment. Recent advances have quantified and improved understanding of large‐scale impacts of t…

How Feasible Is the Scaling-Out of Livelihood and Food System Adaptation in Asia-Pacific Islands? Open
The sustainable development and food security of islands in the Asia-Pacific region is severely compromised by climate change, sea level rise and compounding socio-economic issues. To achieve a step-change in food production and climate ad…

Putting potential environmental risk of Australia's trawl fisheries in landscape perspective: exposure of seabed assemblages to trawling, and inclusion in closures and reserves. FRDC Project No 2016-039 Open
This project implemented the first national spatial approach to quantifying the exposure of mapped seabed assemblages to the footprints of all demersal trawl fisheries that operate on the mainland continental shelf and slope of Australia, …

Bottom trawl fishing footprints on the world’s continental shelves Open
Significance We conducted a systematic, high-resolution analysis of bottom trawl fishing footprints for 24 regions on continental shelves and slopes of five continents and New Zealand. The proportion of seabed trawled varied >200-fold amon…

Drivers of illegal livelihoods in remote transboundary regions: the case of the Trans-Fly region of Papua New Guinea Open
Remote transboundary regions in developing countries often contain abundant natural resources. Many of these resources are being overexploited to supply an ever-increasing demand from Asia, often via illegal cross-border trade. Understandi…

Trawl exposure and protection of seabed fauna at large spatial scales Open
Aim Trawling is the most widespread direct human disturbance on the seabed. Knowledge of the extent and consequences of this disturbance is limited because large‐scale distributions of seabed fauna are not well known. We map faunal distrib…

Modeling What We Sample and Sampling What We Model: Challenges for Zooplankton Model Assessment Open
Zooplankton are the intermediate trophic level between phytoplankton and fish, and are an important component of carbon and nutrient cycles, accounting for a large proportion of the energy transfer to pelagic fishes and the deep ocean. Giv…
