• Utilization of lipids during early development of the sea urchin Evechinus chloroticus

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 304:133-142 (2005)

  Detailed studies of lipid utilization during bivalve development have shown that lipids are important at 2 critical periods: embryogenesis and metamorphosis. Using the Iatroscan TLC/FID system I…

• Gonad fatty acids and trophic interactions of the echinoid Psammechinus miliaris

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 305:101-111 (2005)

  Variation in gonadal somatic indices (GSI) and fatty acid signatures of 2 contrasting Scottish west coast populations of the echinoid Psammechinus miliaris were examined. P. miliaris was sampled from…

• Trophic position of Antarctic amphipods—enhanced analysis by a 2-dimensional biomarker assay

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 300:135-145 (2005)

  The discrepancy between the ecological significance of amphipods in the Antarctic and our poor knowledge of their ecofunctional role calls for a more detailed investigation of their trophic status in…

• Stable isotope and fatty acid evidence for uptake of organic waste by green-lipped mussels Perna viridis in a polyculture fish farm system

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 317:273-283 (2006)

  To evaluate the feasibility and capability of using filter-feeding bivalves as biofilters for organic waste derived from fish faeces and feed wastage in marine fish culture activities, a polyculture…

• Utilization of DOC from seagrass rhizomes by sediment bacteria: ¹³C-tracer experiments and modeling

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 317:41-55 (2006)

  Seagrasses are widely recognized as contributing to net ecosystem primary production and to supporting heterotrophy in estuarine systems. We investigated the linkage between seagrass ( Thalassia…

• Climate regime shifts and reorganization of fish communities: the essential fatty acid limitation hypothesis

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 315:1-11 (2006)

  Climate regime shifts force fish communities through rapid transitions between alternate species assemblages, but little is known about the role that biochemical ecology plays in these transitions. We…

• Fate of mangrove organic matter along a subtropical estuary: small-scale exportation and contribution to the food of crab communities

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 312:15-27 (2006)

  The export of mangrove primary production to adjacent habitats has long been regarded as playing a significant role in estuarine food webs. In the Logan River Estuary, a sub-tropical estuary situated…
