Toxicity of dissolved and precipitated aluminium to marine diatoms
Megan L. Gillmore,Megan L. Gillmore,Lisa A. Golding,Brad M. Angel,Merrin S. Adams,Dianne F. Jolley +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that marine diatoms have a broad range in sensitivity to aluminium with toxic mechanisms related to both dissolved and precipitated aluminium, suggesting that mechanisms of aluminium toxicity to di atoms do not involve compromising the plasma membrane.

Effects of dissolved nickel and nickel-contaminated suspended sediment on the scleractinian coral, Acropora muricata.
Megan L. Gillmore,Megan L. Gillmore,Francesca Gissi,Francesca Gissi,Lisa A. Golding,Jenny L. Stauber,Amanda J Reichelt-Brushett,Andrea Severati,Craig Humphrey,Dianne F. Jolley +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that bioavailability of nickel associated with suspended sediment exposure plays a key role in influencing nickel toxicity to corals and assist in assessments of risk posed by increasing nickel mining activities on tropical marine ecosystems.

Metabarcoding Reveals Changes in Benthic Eukaryote and Prokaryote Community Composition along a Tropical Marine Sediment Nickel Gradient.
Megan L. Gillmore,Megan L. Gillmore,Lisa A. Golding,Anthony A. Chariton,Jenny L. Stauber,Sarah Stephenson,Francesca Gissi,Francesca Gissi,Paul Greenfield,Farid Juillot,Dianne F. Jolley +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used high-throughput sequencing (metabarcoding) to determine changes in eukaryote (18s v7 recombinant DNA [rDNA] and diatom-specific subregion of the 18s v4 rDNA) and prokaryote community compositions along a sediment Ni concentration gradient offshore from a large lateritized ultramafic regolith in New Caledonia.

Binet,Merrin S. Adams,Megan L. Gillmore,Megan L. Gillmore,Lisa A. Golding,Dianne F. Jolley,Zhen Wang,Amanda J Reichelt-Brushett +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-institutional, 5-y testing program was conducted to evaluate Ni exposure, effects, and risk characterization in the Southeast Asia and Melanesia (SEAM) region, which includes New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

The Diffusive Gradients in Thin Films Technique Predicts Sediment Nickel Toxicity to the Amphipod Melita plumulosa.
Megan L. Gillmore,Megan L. Gillmore,Gwilym A. V. Price,Gwilym A. V. Price,Lisa A. Golding,Jenny L. Stauber,Merrin S. Adams,Stuart L. Simpson,Ross E.W. Smith,Dianne F. Jolley +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, chemical measurements of nickel concentration and potential bioavailability, including the use of diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT), were compared to effects on 10-d reproduction of the epibenthic estuarine/marine amphipod Melita plumulosa in nickel-spiked sediments and field-contaminated sediments with different characteristics.
