Marine Biology
What are the causes of harmful algal blooms? What drives biodiversity in coastal ecosystems? Can marine food webs be disentangled by the use of stable isotopes? What can marine strandings detections tell us about the geographic risks faced by marine mammals and birds? Does climate change impact directly on breeding seabirds? Can we use citizen science to quantify the interactions between humans and gull species? What are the causes of variation in migratory routes and habitat choices in seabirds? Can seabirds transport limiting nutrients to the open ocean in sufficient amounts to couple the marine and terrestrial ecosystems? How drastically do marine predators shift their feeding strategies in response to changes in marine fisheries policy and fishing practices?
