THE EFFECTS OF SEDIMENTATION ON ROCKY COAST ASSEMBLAGES (2003, methodology): “…of sediments may deeply affect the composition, structure, dynamics and diversity of natural assemblages (e.g. Daly & Mathieson 1977, Littler et al. 1983, D’Antonio 1986, Kendrick 1991, Airoldi 1998, Irving & Connell 2002a,b,), and may play a role in the evolution of life histories (Brown 1996).”
Ultraviolet radiation effects on the behavior and recruitment of larvae from the reef coral Porites astreoides (2006, background): “Additionally, physical factors, such as substratum rugosity, light intensity, sedimentation rates, salinity, and current velocity, may affect choice of a settlement site as well as subsequent recruit survival in many species of benthic invertebrates (Hodgson 1990; Maldonado and Young 1996; Maida et ”
Quantifying effects of pollution on biodiversity: a case study of highly diverse molluscan assemblages in the Mediterranean (2005, background): “Sewage plumes can also increase water turbidity and this, possibly interacting with processes of sedimentation (Irving and Connell 2002), can have an influence on the heterogeneity of benthic algae (i.e., the relative abundance of different structural components), resulting in changes in habitat…”
Modification of the physical environment by an Ecklonia radiata (Laminariales) canopy and implications for associated foliose algae (2005, background): “Our tests for effects of sediment cover were conducted under high light conditions and it cannot be ruled out that sediments will have stronger effects under low light conditions ( Irving and Connell 2002 ).”
Detection of alternative stable states in marine communities (2004, background): “…manipulated light intensity and sedimentation rates in factorial combinations and followed the effects on crustose coralline, articulated coralline macroalgae, turf macroalgae, and invertebrates (FowlerWalker and Connell, 2002; Irving and Connell, 2002a,b; Connell, 2003a,b, in review).”
