Dispersal mode and assessments of recovery on the shores of Gruinard, the ‘anthrax island’
Formaldehyde run-off was an unintended impact of the anthrax decontamination procedure on the island of Gruinard. The death of intertidal organisms was observed where formaldehyde reached the shore during 1986. The extent to which shores on Gruinard have recovered was assessed with survey work in 2000. Recovery estimates were based...Johnson, Mark P ; Pye, Sankurie E ; Allcock, A Louise

The effects of dispersal mode on the spatial distribution patterns of intertidal molluscs
1. As many species of marine benthic invertebrates have a limited capacity for movement as adults, dispersal mode is often considered as a determinant of geographical ranges, genetic structure and evolutionary history. Species that reproduce without a larval stage can only disperse by floating or rafting. It is proposed that...Johnson, Mark P ; Allcock, A Louise ; Pye, Sankurie E ; Chambers, Susan ; Fitton, D M
