The size structure of plankton communities is an important determinant of their functions in
marine ecosystems. However, few studies have quantified how organism size varies within …

We investigated the biogeography of benthic foraminifera in a highly urbanized tropical
seascape, ie Hong Kong, in order to assess their utility as bioindicators relative to other …

In the marine geosciences, observations are typically acquired using research vessels to
understand a given phenomenon or area of interest. Despite the plateauing of ship time and …
