Research fellow position: marine larval biologist
Professor Dustin Marshall is seeking a marine larval biologist, with strong quantitative skills, to explore the ways in which temperature affects the energetics of development in marine invertebrates.
The Conversation: No-take marine areas help fishers (and fish) far more than we thought
One hectare of ocean in which fishing is not allowed (a marine protected area) produces at least five times the amount of fish as an equivalent unprotected hectare.
The Conversation: Daylight robbery: how human-built structures leave coastal ecosystems in the shadows
About half of the coastline of Europe, the United States and Australasia is modified by artificial structures. In newly published research, we identified a new effect of marine urbanisation that has so far gone unrecognised.

How does size, fragmentation and food affect metabolic rates in a bryozoan?
Lukas Schuster has been working with PhD supervisors Craig White and Dustin Marshall to find out how metabolic rate changes with size in the colonial marine invertebrate Bugula neritina.
