1. Patterns in space and time, and factors affecting distribution and abundance of two species of Exoedicerotid amphipods inhabiting sandy beaches near Sydney, NSW, Australia. Species being studied are Exoediceros fossor (Stimpson, 1856) and Exoediceroides maculosus (Sheard, 1936).
2. Aspects of the life history of two species of Exoedicerotid amphipods inhabiting sandy beaches near Sydney, NSW, Australia: I. Population structure; II Reproductive parameters; III Growth and longevity.
3. Poychaete systematics and taxonomy of Terebrasabella spp in Australia.
