A phylogeny of the leptostraca (Crustacea) with keys to families and genera

- 2001
It is concluded that a phylogeny based on species-level taxa and many informative characters is more likely to represent true evolutionary relationships than one based solely on genera and few characters.
A new species of Quinquelaophonte (Crustacea: Copepoda: Harpacticoida: Laophontidae) from Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, Australia
- G. Walker-Smith
- Biology
- 2004
The new species of Quinquelaophonte Wells, Hicks and Coull, 1982 from Port Phillip Bay, is separated from its cogeners by the presence of five elongate setae on P1 exopod-2, and has an accessory seta that is longer than the terminal claw.
A review of Nebaliella (Crustacea: Leptostraca) with the description of a new species from the continental slope of southeastern Australia

Levinebalia maria, a new genus and new species of Leptostraca (Crustacea) from Australia
- G. Walker-Smith
- Biology
- 2000
Species of Levinebalia differ from Paranebalia in: having the surface of their eyes smooth; lacking a setal brush on the mandible incisor; having smooth pleopod peduncle margins and having crenellations on the margin of pleonites 5, 6, and 7.
Invertebrate diversity of the unexplored marine western margin of Australia: taxonomy and implications for global biodiversity

- 1 June 2015
It is shown that infaunal macrofauna (crustaceans and polychaetes) of the lower bathyal depth range are underrepresented among available data and documented results from Australia, and estimates of global species, however made, are based on limited data.
Productivity enhances benthic species richness along an oligotrophic Indian Ocean continental margin

Aims
Marine soft sediments cover much of the deep ocean and are one of the largest habitats in the world, yet much of our understanding about their diversity is based on sampling in the North…
Elements of habitat complexity that influence harpacticoid copepods associated with seagrass beds in a temperate bay
- G. Jenkins, G. Walker-Smith, P. Hamer
- Environmental ScienceOecologia
- 1 May 2002
It is shown that structural aspects of complexity can have importance beyond the simple provision of complexity in the form of increased surface area of habitat, and may depend on the scale examined.
Fouling-resistant surfaces of tropical sea stars

- 11 October 2007
Sea stars offer an excellent model to investigate the mechanisms driving fouling-resistant surfaces and the selective settlement of specialist invertebrates, according to Qualitative evidence suggests sea stars are free of fouling organisms.

- 31 July 2014
However derived, predictions of global marine species diversity rely on existing real data. All methods, whether based on past rates of species descriptions, on expert opinion, on the fraction of…
