- Effects of suspended sediments, dissolved inorganic nutrients and salinity on fertilisation and embryo development in the coral Acropora millepora (Ehrenberg, 1834) (2008, background): “…inXuence of river runoV, yet in the past 150 years, expanding agriculture, urban development and industry have led to greater runoV of freshwater (McCulloch et al. 2003), nutrients (Devlin et al. 2001; Furnas 2003), sediments (Neil et al. 2002; Furnas 2003; McCulloch et al. 2003), and…”
- Enhanced energy status of corals on coastal, high-turbidity reefs (2006, background): “On Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, in particular, sediment delivery to coastal waters has increased 5- to 10-fold during the past century (McCulloch et al. 2003).”
- Cross-shelf benthic community structure on the Great Barrier Reef: relationships between macroalgal cover and herbivore biomass (2009, background): “Over the last century, there has been a substantial increase in the terrestrial run-off of both nutrients and sediments into the coastal regions of the GBR (McCulloch et al. 2003, McKergow et al. 2005).”
- Quantifying physiological influences on otolith microchemistry (2015, background): “Biomineralmicrochem- istry is widely applied to reconstruct environmental histories (McCulloch et al. 2003; Corr ege 2006), diet (Schutkowski et al. 1999), pollution exposure (Kierdorf & Kierdorf 2002), population structure (Edmonds et al. 1995), individual move- ments and habitat use (Secor et al.…”
- Interactive effects of ontogeny, food ration and temperature on elemental incorporation in otoliths of a coral reef fish (2010, neutral): “Chemical analyses of aragonitic skeletons of hermatypic corals have proved useful in reconstructing pulsed events in the GBR (McCulloch et al. 2003), but records in biogenic carbonates such as otoliths have the potential to strengthen our ability to reconstruct ecological change in coral reef habita”
- Comparative Effects of Different Disturbances in Coral Reef Habitats in Moorea, French Polynesia (2011, background): “Areas in which coral reef degradation is most pronounced (the Caribbean, SE Asia, and the western Indian Ocean) are characterized by a long history of heavy exploitation of coral reef resources and other chronic disturbances [9], which may have increased vulnerability to recent acute disturbances, s”
- Summary for Policymakers (2022, positive): “Knowledge in this area took a quantum leap forward, however, with the publication of a study (McCulloch et al., 2003) that provided a 250-year record of sediment transfer to Havannah Reef -- a site on the inner Great Barrier Reef of northern Queensland, Australia -- by flood plumes from the Burdekin”
- Water quality of the Great Barrier Reef: distributions, effects on reef biota and trigger values for the protection of ecosystem health (2008, background): “Models of river nutrient discharges and proxies of sedimentation recorded in coral skeletons suggest about 5-fold higher mean annual sediment discharges within the last 140 years compared to values before first European settlement and the onset of farming in 1860 (Furnas 2003; McCulloch et al. 2003;”
- Otolith chemistry to determine movements of diadromous and freshwater fish (2005, neutral): “In low salinity areas (0–5 ppt), Ba is desorbed from fine-grained suspended particles and is then advected with riverine plumes to offshore areas where it behaves as an essentially conservative tracer (McCulloch et al. 2003).”
