note = "Funding Information: Further awards and honours would mark John{\textquoteright}s distinguished career, including the Fridtjof Nansen Prize for Research from the Norwegian Academy of Arts and Science, a Charles Darwin Lectureship from the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and a Senior Queen{\textquoteright}s Fellowship from the Australian Government. The author of over 130 publications, John was also an ISI highly cited scientist and co-author of the influential John Martin Award-winning paper that introduced the concept of the {\textquoteleft}microbial loop{\textquoteright}. He wrote a popular text book on marine benthic ecology, first published in 1981 and updated shortly before his death in collaboration with Professor Mike Elliott of the University of Hull. John{\textquoteright}s most recent research focused on elucidating patterns of marine benthic diversity, marine pollution and biomagnification, and he was involved in various inter-disciplinary studies on recently-discovered seabed {\textquoteleft}pockmarks{\textquoteright} in the Oslofjord and North Sea, and in applied benthic studies centered on Hong Kong{\textquoteright}s marine environment ( Fig. 1 ). Of course, as one could imagine from such a distinguished record, John was involved in many collaborations over the years and he had the happy knack of including friends and colleagues around the world (from such places as South Africa, South-East Asia, North America, Europe and Australasia) in his research endeavours.
