The influence of the balance of inorganic and organic nitrogen on the trophic dynamics of microbial food webs. (2007)
Journal Article
Davidson, K., Gilpin, L., Hart, M. C., Fouilland, E., Mitchell, E., Calleja, I. A., Laurent, C., Miller, A. E. J., & Leakey, R. J. G. (2007). The influence of the balance of inorganic and organic nitrogen on the trophic dynamics of microbial food webs. Limnology and Oceanography, 52, 2147-2163

A nutrient-manipulation mesocosm study was conducted in Norwegian coastal waters to determine the effect
on a nitrogen-limited microbial food web of changes in the relative concentrations of dissolved organic and
inorganic nitrogen (N). Four replic... Read More about The influence of the balance of inorganic and organic nitrogen on the trophic dynamics of microbial food webs..

Defining and detecting undesirable disturbance in the context of marine eutrophication (2006)
Journal Article
Tett, P., Gowen, R. J., Mills, D., Fernandes, T., Gilpin, L., Huxham, M., Kennington, K., Read, P., Service, M., Wilkinson, M., & Malcolm, S. J. (2007). Defining and detecting undesirable disturbance in the context of marine eutrophication. Marine Pollution Bulletin, 55(1-6), 282-297. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2006.08.028

An understanding of undesirable disturbance to the balance of organisms is needed to diagnose marine eutrophication as defined by EU Directives and OSPAR. This review summarizes the findings of the UK Defra-funded Undesirable Disturbance Study Team,...

Microalgae, macrofauna and sedimentary stability: an experimental test of a reciprocal relationship. (2006)
Journal Article
Huxham, M., Gilpin, L., Mocogni, M., & Harper, S. (2006). Microalgae, macrofauna and sedimentary stability: an experimental test of a reciprocal relationship. Marine Ecology Progress Series, 310, 55-63. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps310055

A manipulative field experiment was conducted at Blackness in the Firth of Forth, Scotland, to study the effects of differences in microphytobenthos abundance on sediment stability and macrofauna. Opaque and transparent Perspex was used to construct... Read More about Microalgae, macrofauna and sedimentary stability: an experimental test of a reciprocal relationship..

Coupled dynamics of dimethylsulfoniopropionate and dimethylsulfide cycling and the microbial food web in surface waters of the North Atlantic. (2002)
Journal Article
Simo, R., Archer, S. D., Pedrós-Alió, C., Gilpin, L., & Stelfox-Widdicombe, C. E. (2002). Coupled dynamics of dimethylsulfoniopropionate and dimethylsulfide cycling and the microbial food web in surface waters of the North Atlantic. Limnology and Oceanography, 47, 53-61

Oceanic dimethylsulfide (DMS), the main natural source of sulfur to the global atmosphere, is suggested to play a key role in the interaction between marine biota and climate. Its biochemical precursor is dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), a globally...
