When describing coral shape and form the term phenotypic plasticity, ie environment‐
induced changes in morphology, is often used synonymously with intraspecific variation …

The present literature on biologically mediated fluxes from the benthic nepheloid layer (BNL)
across the sediment-water interface into the sediment and vice versa is reviewed. The …

The new edition of this widely respected text provides comprehensive and up-to-date
coverage of the effects of biological–physical interactions in the oceans from the microscopic …

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) strongly alters the trophic environment of
photosymbiotic aquatic organisms. At high particles loads, phototrophic energy gains can be …

The objectives of the present study were twofold:(1) to identify spatial sedimentation and
erosion patterns develo** within patches of epibenthic structures (ie physical structures …

A feature common to many benthic marine plants and animals is the release of propagules
that serve as the organism's only mechanism of dispersal. Successful dispersal depends to …

Many countries now recognise the need for mitigation of climate change induced by human
activities and have incorporated renewable energy resources within their energy policy …

High concentrations of fine suspended particulate matter (SPM) on nearshore coral reefs are
generally assumed to be a stress factor for corals. However, the extent to which SPM serves …

We studied the removal of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and bacterioplankton by the
encrusting sponges Halisarca caerulea, Mycale microsigmatosa and Merlia normani in coral …

Abstract Framework cavities are the largest but least explored coral reef habitat. Previous
dive studies of caverns, spaces below plate corals, rubble and artificial cavities,, suggest that …
