Population Biology of Mussels (Aulacomya Maoriana, Mytilus Galloprovincialis and Perna Canaliculus) From Rocky Intertidal Shores in Wellington Harbour, New Zealand
TL;DR: The data suggest the existence of distinct zones within Wellington Harbour, with different hydrological regimes present at each zone, and the degree of infestation with a parasitic pea crab Pinnotheres novaezelandiae studied at four sites.

Differences in meiofauna communities with sediment depth are greater than habitat effects on the New Zealand continental margin: implications for vulnerability to anthropogenic disturbance

TL;DR: Investigating meiofaunal community attributes in slope, canyon, seamount, and seep habitats in two regions on the continental slope of New Zealand finds that patterns were not the same for each community attribute, and indicates that variability in meioFaunal communities was greater at small scale than at habitat or regional scale.

Reproductive Patterns and Tidal Effects on Spat Settlement of Mytilus Edulis Populations in Dundrum Bay, Northern Ireland
L.M. Snodden,Dai Roberts +1 more
TL;DR: The gametogenic and spat settlement patterns of two Mytihis edulis beds were studied in Dundrum Inner Bay, Northern Ireland and it is suggested that hydrodynamic regimes may be an important factor in the differences in settlement patterns.

Differential predation by barnacles upon larvae of two bryozoans: spatial effects at small scales
Craig M. Young,J. L. Cameron +1 more
TL;DR: Differential predation did not translate into species-specific settlement distributions in the field by comparing settlement of the two bryozoan species on shells of living and dead barnacles at three scales: among barnacles, among barnacle wall plates, and within wall plates.

Sediment Contaminants and Infauna Associated with Recreational Boating Structures in a Multi-Use Marine Park.
TL;DR: The study highlights the benefits of appropriate zoning in a multi-use marine park and the potential to minimise stress on pristine areas through the application of spatial management.
