Large tropical and sub-tropical marine animals must meet their energetic requirements in a
largely oligotrophic environment. Many planktivorous elasmobranchs, whose thermal …

There have been many individual phytoplankton datasets collected across Australia since
the mid 1900s, but most are unavailable to the research community. We have searched …

Macroecological relationships provide insights into rules that govern ecological systems.
Bergmann's rule posits that members of the same clade are larger at colder temperatures. …

The Integrated Marine Observing System National Reference Station network provides
unprecedented open access to species-level phytoplankton and zooplankton data for researchers…

Manta rays forage for zooplankton in tropical and subtropical marine environments, which
are generally nutrient-poor. Feeding often occurs at predictable locations where these large, …

Chlorophyll a is the most commonly used indicator of phytoplankton biomass in the marine
environment. It is relatively simple and cost effective to measure when compared to …

We reviewed 9350 Australian species-level records and confirmed 64 species of the marine
planktonic dinoflagellate genera Dinophysis Ehrenb. (17 species), Phalacroma F.Stein (12), …

We reviewed 15572 Australian species-level records of the marine planktonic dinoflagellate
Tripos Bory (formerly Ceratium Schrank, a genus now restricted to freshwater species). The …

Zooplankton are the key trophic link between primary producers and fish in pelagic ecosystems.
Historically, there are few zooplankton time series in Australia, with no data sets longer …

Coral reef mutualisms involve complex trophic ecological relationships that produce indirect
effects. Excluding mutualistic cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus from reefs indirectly …
