• Lithofacies distribution and sediment dynamics on a storm-dominated shelf from combined photographic, acoustic and sedimentological profiling methods (Bay of Plenty, New Zealand) 

  Kulgemeyer, Tobias; von Dobeneck, Tilo; Müller, Hendrik; Bryan, Karin R.; de Lange, Willem P.; Battershill, Christopher N. (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016-03)

  Sediment dynamics on a storm-dominated shelf (western Bay of Plenty, New Zealand) were mapped and analyzed using the newly developed multi-sensor benthic profiler MARUM NERIDIS III. An area of 60 km × 7 km between 2 and ...

  

• The biogeography and trophic roles of coastal marine sponges (Porifera) from the west coast of the North Island, New Zealand: Influences of catchments. 

  Mc Cormack, Samuel Patrick (The University of Waikato, 2021)

  Anthropogenic activities are degrading coastal marine ecosystems globally. While the ecological and biodiversity implications of some of these impacts are well understood, for others there is a need for a greater understanding ...

  

• Microplastics in the marine environment: Sediment contaminant and bioaccumulation rates in bivalves within the Bay of Plenty 

  Lewis, Anita (The University of Waikato, 2021)

  Microplastic pollution is recognised as a significant anthropogenic issue in coastal ecosystems around the world. The accumulation of microplastics in coastal environments causes both direct and indirect effects on these ...

  

• Habitat use and trophic ecology of bronze whaler sharks (Carcharhinus brachyurus) in New Zealand 

  Kellett, Melissa Danielle (The University of Waikato, 2021)

  Sharks are among some of the most diverse and abundant top-level predators within marine ecosystems. Their predatory role in controlling the population size, distribution and behaviour of species within the lower levels ...

  

• Comparing competitive interactions and settlement success among native and non-indigenous species in marine hard bottom communities of colonial ascidians, from the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand 

  Reiter, Yanika Te paea (The University of Waikato, 2020)

  The requirement for space in marine hard bottom assemblages is paramount for life. Due to the crowded nature and demand for space in these sessile assemblages, bare space that is freed is quickly occupied. The intense push ...

  

• New Zealand seagrass (Zostera muelleri) response to acute sedimentation: Linking non-structural carbohydrate reserves to resilience 

  Soerensen, Stine Tang (The University of Waikato, 2020)

  Seagrass meadows form healthy near-coastal marine environments that provide a wide range of ecosystem services in New Zealand and Australia. However, seagrass habitats are declining regionally and globally. It is therefore ...
