Organic matter preserved in modern ooids from Shark Bay and the Bahamas
… modern ooids from two localities (Carbla Beach, Shark Bay, Western Australia, and Highborne Cay, Bahamas) were dissolved incrementally. Analysis of radiocarbon by accelerator mass spectrometry of C02 liberated during incremental dissolution of ooid carbonate provided information about the …

Complex lipids in microbial mats and stromatolites of Hamelin Pool, Shark Bay, Australia
… throughout ancient time. Hamelin Pool, Shark Bay, Australia is an ideal field site for this task, as stromtolites and modem microbial mats coexist and the microbial mats have been shown to contribute to the formation of the stromatolites. Comprehensive lipid biomarker profiles were …

Reintroduction ecology of mala (Lagorchestes hirsutus) and merrnine (Lagostrophus fasciatus) at Shark Bay, Western Australia
The transfer of threatened animals from one location to another in order to benefit the species is a technique frequently used by animal conservation managers. However, very few of these relocations have experimentally assessed the relative merits and disadvantages of commonly used release …

Geostatistical spatiotemporal modelling with application to the western king prawn of the Shark Bay managed prawn fishery
… data is prawn catch and effort data from the Shark Bay managed prawn fishery in Western Australia. The data are densely informed in both the spatial and temporal dimensions and cover a range of locations at each time instant. Both catch and effort variables display an obvious spatiotemporal …

Outcomes of a participatory approach to interpretive planning in the Shark Bay World Heritage area, Western Australia
… to interpretive planning, employed in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area, Western Australia. At the project outset relations between the conservation agency responsible for administering World Heritage and the local community were strained, and complicated by a history of conflict over the …

Elucidating microbial interactions, adaptations, and evolution under extreme environmental conditions in modern microbial mats from Shark Bay, Western Australia
… Today, extant pustular microbial mats in Shark Bay, Australia serve as one of the best modern analogues of these ancient systems. These modern microbial communities are able to persist in the extreme environmental conditions (i.e., hypersalinity, periodic desiccation, UV radiation, heavy …

Do size differences of juvenile snapper (Pagrus auratus) in two regions of Shark Bay, Western Australia, reflect different environmental conditions
… juvenile Pagrus auratus in the western gulf of Shark Bay, Western Australia, were investigated to explore the causes of an observed size difference between 0+ fish (first year of life) in the northern and southern regions of that gulf. Five trawl surveys were conducted in each region of the …

Biosynthetic characterisation of secondary metabolites from stromatolite cyanobacteria Symploca sp. 1013
… isolates from from stromatolites in Shark Bay, Western Australia, were screened for the presence of PKS and NRPS. The presence of both secondary metabolite pathways were seen in the Symploca sp. 1013 as well as 5 stromatolite samples with PKS and/or NRPS genes. Symploca sp. 1013 was …

Marine carbohydrate-active enzymes illuminate microbial ecology, evolution, and carbonate precipitation
… study of carbohydrate degradation in a Shark Bay pustular mat community. The combined metagenomic and experimental analyses reveal a widespread potential for EPS degradation among MAGs from Shark Bay pustular mats and suggest distinct roles for many phyla that are reported at high …

Diet of the Tropicalised Herbivore Siganus fuscescens Across a Broad Latitudinal Gradient and Comparisons With Temperate Seagrass-associated Omnivorous Fishes
… to temperate gradient, comprising the Kimberley, Shark Bay and Perth. In all regions, red algae were the primary dietary component. Leathery macrophytes were also consumed in the temperate region, while filamentous Sphacelaria was grazed in subtropical Shark Bay and corticated foliose Dictyota in …
