The significance of shore height in intertidal macrobenthic seagrass ecology and conservation (2011)
Journal Article
Barnes, R. S., & Ellwood, M. D. F. (2011). The significance of shore height in intertidal macrobenthic seagrass ecology and conservation. Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 21(7), 614-624. https://doi.org/10.1002/aqc.1234

Benthic faunal assemblages of an intertidal seagrass bed were sampled at three shore heights (LWN, MLW, LWS) at the mouth, mid-point and head of the Steenbok Channel in South Africa's premier seagrass site, the warm-temperate Knysna estuarine bay, Ga...

Macrobenthic assemblage structure in a cool-temperate intertidal dwarf eelgrass bed in comparison with those from lower latitudes (2011)
Journal Article
Barnes, R. S. K., & Ellwood, M. D. F. (2011). Macrobenthic assemblage structure in a cool-temperate intertidal dwarf eelgrass bed in comparison with those from lower latitudes. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 104(3), 527-540. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1095-8312.2011.01738.x

The evolution and ecology of latitudinal patterns in marine macrofaunal biodiversity and assemblage structure are contentious. With the aim of investigating the occurrence of such patterns in intertidal dwarf eelgrass beds (Nanozosteraspp.), those at...

On the vapour trail of an atmospheric imprint in insects (2011)
Journal Article
Northfield, R. G., Ellwood, M. D. F., Mejia-Chang, M., & Griffiths, H. (2011). On the vapour trail of an atmospheric imprint in insects. Biology Letters, 7(4), 601-604. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2010.1171

Terrestrial arthropods, at constant risk from desiccation, are highly sensitive to atmospheric temperature and humidity. A physiological marker of these abiotic conditions could highlight phenotypic adaptations, indicate niche partitioning, and predi...

Establishing the evidence base for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function in the oil palm landscapes of South East Asia (2011)
Journal Article
Chung, A. Y., Foster, W. A., Snaddon, J. L., Turner, E. C., Fayle, T. M., Cockerill, T. D., …Yusah, K. M. (2011). Establishing the evidence base for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function in the oil palm landscapes of South East Asia. Philosophical Transactions B: Biological Sciences, 366(1582), 3277-3291. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2011.0041

The conversion of natural forest to oil palm plantation is a major current threat to the conservation of biodiversity in South East Asia. Most animal taxa decrease in both species richness and abundance on conversion of forest to oil palm, and there...
