A trait-based approach to coral community ecology : linking colony morphology to demography and ecosystem function
(2020-12-01) - ThesisFinding general links between traits shared across species and organism performance should allow for generalised predictions of both community dynamics and ecosystem processes. In reef-building coral communities finding ... -
Importance of epistatic genetic variance in developmental quantitative genetics
(2020-07-29) - ThesisAdditive genetic variance, or variance arising from the average effects of alleles, is a key parameter for models predicting evolutionary change such as the Breeders equation. Theoretical models diverge on predictions of ... -
Investigating the role of harmful environmental organisms in multifactorial gill pathology in salmonids
(2020-07-29) - ThesisIn this thesis, histopathology and molecular research tools were utilised to investigate gill health in salmonids. Of interest were the roles of the harmful environmental organism’s cnidarian jellyfish and toxic phytoplankton ...
