Given the recent trend towards establishing very large marine protected areas (MPAs) and the high potential of these to contribute to global conservation targets, we review outcomes of the last decade of marine conservation research in the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), one of the largest MPAs in the world. The BIOT MPA consists of the atolls of the Chagos Archipelago, interspersed with and surrounded by deep oceanic waters. Islands around the atoll rims serve as nesting grounds for sea birds. Extensive and diverse shallow and mesophotic reef habitats provide essential habitat and feeding grounds for all marine life, and …

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd The honeycomb worm Sabellaria alveolata is capable of building extensive bioconstructions, including what are currently considered Europe's largest biogenic reefs. The size and volume of these bioconstructions, however, vary greatly, such that not all habitats engineered by S. alveolata may be easily identified as reefs. Given that European environmental legislation protects marine habitats that are classified as “reefs” it is important to identity a clear set of definition criteria. Furthermore, quantifiable and unequivocal criteria are also needed to evaluate the ecological (health) state of these reefs, in order to best monitor and protect them. Here we …

Thiothrix is the type genus of the Thiotrichaceae in the Thiotrichales of the 21 Gammaproteobacteria, comprising nine species of sulfur-oxidising filamentous Bacteria, 22 which are variously autotrophic, heterotrophic or have mixed metabolic modes. Within the 23 genus, 4 species show 16S rRNA gene identities lower the Yarza threshold for the rank of 24 genus (94.5 %) – Thiothrix disciformis, Thiothrix flexilis, Thiothrix defluvii and Thiothrix 25 eikelboomii – as they show no affiliation to extant genera, a polyphasic study was undertaken 26 including biochemical, physiological and genomic properties and phylogeny based on the 27 16S rRNA gene (rrs), recombination protein …

Does Capture Method Or The Presence Of Aquatic Protected Areas Influence The Selective Harvest Of Behavioural Types In Largemouth Bass?, Ell Cooke, Alexander D.M. Wilson, Chris K. Elvidge, Sj Cooke Jan 2017

Does Capture Method Or The Presence Of Aquatic Protected Areas Influence The Selective Harvest Of Behavioural Types In Largemouth Bass?, Ell Cooke, Alexander D.M. Wilson, Chris K. Elvidge, Sj Cooke

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Selectively removing fish based on particular traits, such as body size, may shift trait abundance in the remaining population, resulting in a phenomenon called fisheries-induced evolution. Recently, there is growing interest in evaluating the effects of fisheries-induced evolution on fish behaviour. Aquatic protected areas (APAs) have been designated in some habitats in efforts to prohibit harvesting and maintain natural ranges of phenotypic variation for impacted species. Here, we attempted to test whether APAs that prohibit all forms of fishing have an evolutionary influence on adult largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) behaviour by investigating the relationship between capture method and behavioural type. …

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Aggregations of living unattached corallines, previously often referred to as nodules, were given the name rhodoliths by Bosselini and Ginsburg ( 1971 ). Adey and MacIntyre ( 1973 ) provided an early discussion of their genesis and distribution. Such aggregations have long been known as maerl in the North East Atlantic, a Breton term for unattached thalli that lack a shell or pebble core (Irvine and Chamberlain 1994 ). Here, we provide an overview of rhodolith/maerl occurrence in the colder/temperate waters of the North Atlantic and summarize the distribution, species composition, biodiversity and ecological importance of these habitats.


Research Challenges And Conservation Implications For Urban Cat Management In New Zealand, Kh Kikillus, Gk Chambers, Mj Farnworth, Km Hare Dec 2016

Research Challenges And Conservation Implications For Urban Cat Management In New Zealand, Kh Kikillus, Gk Chambers, Mj Farnworth, Km Hare

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Over the past 20 years, conservation efforts in New Zealand have moved from being concentrated in rural and isolated island locations, where exotic mammalian predators are often controlled, to begin to bring native fauna back to major cities. However, human–wildlife conflicts arise when conservation occurs in close proximity to cities. These are particularly intense when companion animals are involved either as potential predators or prey of high-value conservation animals. Within New Zealand, this conflict is particularly fraught around domestic cats (Felis catus) in the urban environment. Cats in New Zealand are recognised as major introduced predators of native fauna, but …
