The effects of the adult density of Macoma balthica on the recruitment of juvenile bivalves: a field experiment (2001)
Journal Article
Richards, M., Edwards, F., & Huxham, M. (2002). The effects of the adult density of Macoma balthica on the recruitment of juvenile bivalves: a field experiment. Journal of Sea Research, 47(1), 41-54. https://doi.org/10.1016/s1385-1101%2801%2900101-0

Populations of intertidal bivalves are patchily distributed at a variety of scales, and the distributions of adults and juveniles are often different. Adult-juvenile interactions may help explain this patchiness. In this study, the effects of differe...

Respiration rates in Littorina littorea infected with three species of digenean parasite (2001)
Journal Article
Huxham, M., Maitland, D., & Mocogni, M. (2001). Respiration rates in Littorina littorea infected with three species of digenean parasite. Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the UK, 81(02), 351-352. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0025315401003885

The gastropod Littorina littorea shows increased mortality in the summer months when infected with digenean parasites. One possible cause of this mortality is impaired respiration in infected hosts. Respiration rates of L. littorea infected with thre... Read More about Respiration rates in Littorina littorea infected with three species of digenean parasite.

Impacts of biodeposits from suspended mussel (Mytilus edulis L.) culture on the surrounding surficial sediments (2001)
Journal Article
Chamberlain, J., Fernandes, T. F., Read, P., Nickell, T. D., & Davies, I. M. (2001). Impacts of biodeposits from suspended mussel (Mytilus edulis L.) culture on the surrounding surficial sediments. ICES Journal of Marine Science, 58(2), 411-416. https://doi.org/10.1006/jmsc.2000.1037

The effects of increased sedimentation on the macrobenthic community, physical structure, and biogeochemistry of the surficial sediment around two farms in southwest Ireland were examined in conjunction with current characteristics. Both farms had be... Read More about Impacts of biodeposits from suspended mussel (Mytilus edulis L.) culture on the surrounding surficial sediments.
