Operational discharges of produced water and drill cuttings from offshore oil and gas
platforms are a continuous source of contaminants to continental shelf ecosystems. This …

In the early 1980s, a strategy for graphical representation of multivariate (multi‐species)
abundance data was introduced into marine ecology by, among others, Field, et al.(1982). A …

We present a new multivariate technique for testing the significance of individual terms in a
multifactorial analysis‐of‐variance model for multispecies response variables. The …

The method of choice for multivariate representation of community structure is often non-
metric multi-dimensional scaling (MDS). This has great flexibility in accomn~ odating …

This conceptual paper addresses the role of lysosomal autophagy in cellular defence
against oxidative stress. A hypothesis is proposed that autophagic removal of oxidatively …

Statistical aspects of'biological effects' field surveys are discussed, with particular reference
to the GEEP Workshop. Recommendations are made on design criteria, for example …

Tests for null hypotheses of'absence of structure'should play an important role in any
exploratory study, to guard against interpretation of sample patterns that could have been …

The large, sparse arrays of species counts arising in both field and experimental community
studies do not lend themselves to standard statistical tests based on multivariate normality …

El monitoreo ambiental y la evaluación para la conservación en los hábitats terrestres
puede ser mejorado con el uso de inventarios de invertebrados. Sin embargo, las …

Biological criteria for defining water quality and the presence of acceptable levels of benthic
resources are evaluated for estuarine macrobenthic communities of the lower Chesapeake …
