Sewage sludge was disposed of in Liverpool Bay for over 100 years. Annual amounts increased from 0.5 million tonnes per annum in 1900 to approximately 2 million tonnes per annum by 1995. Macrofauna and a suite of environmental variables were collecte...

Fish parasites in the Arctic deep-sea: Poor diversity in pelagic fish species vs. heavy parasite load in a demersal fish. Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 53(7), 1167-1181. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr.2006.05.009

A total of 219 deep-sea fishes belonging to five families were examined for the parasite fauna and stomach contents. The demersal fish Macrourus berglax, bathypelagic Bathylagus euryops, and mesopelagic Argentina silus, Borostomias antarcticus, Chaul...

Recruitment in epifaunal communities: an experimental test of the effects of species composition and age (2006)
Journal Article

A key prediction to emerge from community assembly models is that resistance to invasion increases as the community matures. Three epifaunal communities of differing age were developed upon artificial substrata in the Firth of Forth, Scotland, to exa...
