| Summary: | This dataset comprises the files contained on a CD-ROM which was attached to the thesis when it was submitted in 2005 . It was uploaded to ORDO in 2024 for preservation purposes. For more information, please refer to the thesis Benthic assemblage development and larval ecology of marine invertebrates at Adelaide Island, Antarctica via ORO. This thesis describes the first regularly resurveyed study of marine benthic colonisation processes at a location within the Antarctic Circle (660 30' S). Invertebrate assemblages on hard substrata were studied at 8 m and 20 m depths at three locations near Rothera Point, Adelaide Island (670 34' S, 68° 07' W). Assemblages on natural substrata were surveyed photographically and by sampling of cryptic sessile fauna. Recruitment to upper and lower surfaces of artificial substrata was monitored at monthly intervals through 1.5 yr and subsequent survival and growth of sessile assemblages was monitored photographically over 3 yr. Planktonic larvae of benthic invertebrates were ... |
