Cryptogonimidae) from the Great Barrier Reef and the Maldives

Examination of the humpback red snapper, Lutjanus gibbus (Perciformes: Lutjanidae), from Lizard Island off the Great Barrier Reef and Rasdhoo Atoll, Maldives revealed the presence of a new species of Lobosorchis (Digenea: Cryptogonimidae), L. polygongylus n. sp.

Recovery from disturbance of coral and reef fish communities on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia

Coral reefs are consistently and increasingly subject to acute disturbance events that often lead to a reduction in live coral cover with concomitant effects on the diversity and abundance of coral reef fishes. Here we examine changes in both hard coral and reef-fish assemblages over 15 yr following major losses of coral from exposed reefs in 2 widely separated sectors of the Great Barrier Reef...

Terebellidae (Annelida, Terebelliformia) from Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia.

Late Holocene island reef development on the inner zone of the northern Great Barrier Reef: Insights from Low Isles Reef

A sedimentological and stratigraphic study of Low Isles Reef off northern Queensland, Australia was carried out to improve understanding of factors that have governed Late Holocene carbonate deposition and reef development on the inner to middle shelf of the northern Great Barrier Reef. Low Isles Reef is one of 46 low wooded island-reefs unique to the northern Great Barrier Reef, which are situ...
