Phenotype-environment matching in the shore crab (Carcinus maenas) (2005)
Journal Article
Todd, P. A., Briers, R. A., Ladle, R. J., & Middleton, F. (2006). Phenotype-environment matching in the shore crab (Carcinus maenas). Marine Biology, 148(6), 1357-1367. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00227-005-0159-2

The shore crab (Carcinus maenas) exhibits a range of carapace pattern polymorphisms, but little is known regarding their function or maintenance. If patterns represent some form of crypsis, then associations between carapace colouration and substrate... Read More about Phenotype-environment matching in the shore crab (Carcinus maenas).

Spatial patterns in pond invertebrate communities: separating environmental and distance effects (2005)
Journal Article
Briers, R. A., & Biggs, J. (2005). Spatial patterns in pond invertebrate communities: separating environmental and distance effects. Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 15(6), 549-557. doi:10.1002/aqc.742

1.The nature and extent of spatial pattern in communities has important implications for their dynamics and conservation. Previous studies of pond ecosystems, over relatively small spatial scales, have found little evidence of spatial autocorrelation...

Designing a conservation reserve network with minimal fragmentation: A linear integer programming approach (2005)
Journal Article
Önal, H., & Briers, R. A. (2005). Designing a conservation reserve network with minimal fragmentation: A linear integer programming approach. Environmental modeling & assessment, 10(3), 193-202. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10666-005-9009-3

In the biological conservation literature, the optimum reserve site selection problem has often been addressed by using the prototype set covering and maximal covering formulations, assuming that representation of species is the only criterion in sit...

The lateral extent of the subsidy from an upland stream to riparian lycosid spiders (2005)
Journal Article
Briers, R. A., Cariss, H. M., Geoghegan, R., & Gee, J. H. R. (2005). The lateral extent of the subsidy from an upland stream to riparian lycosid spiders. Ecography, 28(2), 165-170. doi:10.1111/j.0906-7590.2005.04020.x

Adult aquatic insects emerging from streams can subsidize riparian food webs, but little is known of the spatial extent of these subsidies. Stable isotope (15N) enrichment of aquatic insects, principally a species of stonefly (Plecoptera: Leuctridae)...

Quantifying two-dimensional dichromatic patterns using a photographic technique: case study on the shore crab (Carcinus maenas L.) (2005)
Journal Article
Todd, P. A., Ladle, R. J., Briers, R. A., & Brunton, A. (2005). Quantifying two-dimensional dichromatic patterns using a photographic technique: case study on the shore crab (Carcinus maenas L.). Ecological research, 20(4), 497-501. https://doi.org/10.100

Contrasting patterns of pigmentation, such as those associated with crypsis and aposematism, are common in many taxa. In order to determine why patterning varies among individuals or populations, it is important to quantify how these patches of pigme...
