TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared data collected on old offshore oil and gas platforms with data from a young wind farm and a natural reef, and found that steel was more similar to natural rocks than shallow steel.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bert W. Hoeksema,Bert W. Hoeksema,Mick van Beusekom,Mick van Beusekom,Harry A. ten Hove,Viatcheslav N. Ivanenko,Viatcheslav N. Ivanenko,Sancia E. T. van der Meij,Sancia E. T. van der Meij,Godfried W.N.M. van Moorsel +9 more
TL;DR: The present findings indicate that new discoveries concerning Caribbean coral reef biodiversity can still be made during field expeditions by targeting the assemblages of associated fauna of specific benthic host species.
Journal ArticleDOI
The North-American amphipods, Melita nitida Smith, 1873 and Incisocalliope aestuarius (Watling and Maurer, 1973) (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Gammaridea), introduced to the Western Scheldt estuary (The Netherlands)
TL;DR: Theory that the existence of many empty niches in north-western Europeanbrackish waters make this environment particularly susceptible to invasions ofalien species is corroborated and the application of hard substrates in a region originally predominated by soft bottoms moreover facilitates the introduction ofexotic species.
Book ChapterDOI
Shipwrecks on the Dutch Continental Shelf as Artificial Reefs
TL;DR: Hard substrata in the southern North Sea is mainly limited to man-made structures like wrecks, drilling platforms, pipelines and, along the shore, dyke slopes and other coastal protection structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extension of the recorded host range of Caribbean Christmas tree worms (Spirobranchus spp.) with two Scleractinians, a Zoantharian, and an Ascidian
Bert W. Hoeksema,Bert W. Hoeksema,Jaaziel E. García-Hernández,Godfried W.N.M. van Moorsel,Gabriël Olthof,Harry A. ten Hove +5 more
TL;DR: Caribbean Christmas tree worms are considered host generalists in their associations with anthozoan (Scleractinia) and hydrozoan (Millepora) stony corals.
