The third edition of Methods for the Study of Marine Benthos represents the first update of the book since about 1983 (the first edition appeared in 1971). The preface to the new edition indicates that edition tiiree has the same number of chapters as the first edition and contains most of the same t...

	Ecological, taxonomic, and taphonomic components of the post-Paleozoic increase in sample-level species diversity of marine benthos Paleobiology ; Abstract.-Biological veracity of the sharp diversity increase observed in many analyses of the post-Paleozoic marine fossil record has been debated vigorously in recent years. To assess this question for sample-level ("alpha") diversity, we used bulk samples of shelly invertebrates, representing
	Predation defeats competition on the seafloor Paleobiology ; the snail, whose tender horns being hit Shrinks backward in his shelly cave with pain, And there, all smothered up, in shade doth sit, Long after fearing to creep forth again. - William Shakespeare, Venus and Adonis (1593) For many decades, ecology textbooks presented classical competition theory
	Constraints on chemically mediated coevolution: multiple functions for seaweed secondary metabolites. Ecology ; INTRODUCTION There has been a long and sustained interest in coevolution (Ehrlich and Raven 1964, Futuyma and Slatkin 1983, Spencer 1988, Thompson and Burdon 1992) with much of this interest focused on chemically mediated plant-herbivore interactions. There is, however, still considerable debate
	Changes in theoretical ecospace utilization in marine fossil assemblages between the mid-Paleozoic and late Cenozoic Paleobiology ; Abstract.- We present a new three-dimensional theoretical ecospace for the ecological classification of marine animals based on vertical tiering, motility level, and feeding mechanism. In this context, analyses of a database of level-bottom fossil assemblages with abundance counts demonstrate
	MEMOIR 4: An Analysis of the History of Marine Animal Diversity Paleobiology ; Abstract.- According to when they attained high diversity, major taxa of marine animals have been clustered into three groups, the Cambrian, Paleozoic, and Modern Faunas. Because the Cambrian Fauna was a relatively minor component of the total fauna after mid-Ordovician time, the Phanerozoic

	Exploitation competition in mobile grazers: trade-offs in use of a limited resource. Ecology ; INTRODUCTION Exploitation competition, in which consumers interact indirectly through their influence on shared food items, occurs when both the abundance of the resource is depressed by consumers, and the consumers are limited by the resource. Many experimental studies simply measure the outcome
	Succession and herbivory: effects of differential fish grazing on Hawaiian coral-reef algae. Ecological Monographs ; INTRODUCTION Herbivores have long been known to affect the structure of plant communities (e.g., Darwin 1859, Tansley and Adamson 1925). It follows that herbivory could be a major factor influencing succession, generally defined as a directional change in species dominance through time initiated by
	A New Species of Mictognathus (Acari: Halacaridae) from the Great Barrier Reef [1]. Pacific Science ; Furgen C. Otto [2] Abstract: Mictognathus colemani Otto, n. sp., is described from the Great Barrier Reef. It is the third known species in its genus and the first species of Mictognathus known to occur in tropical waters. Distinguishing features are dorsal lamellae on the telofemora, membranous
