Habitat Preferences at the Leading Edge of a Marine Bioinvasion [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionTo enable the early detection and eradication of invasive species, it is crucial to predict habitats with an elevated risk of invasion. Despite the fact that invaders may display initial habitat preferences and niche shifts during range expansion ...

Sediment accumulation by coastal biogenic structures sustains intertidal flats facing sea level rise in the German Wadden sea [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBiogenic structures such as oyster reefs and mussel beds can enhance sedimentation and promote the expansion of intertidal flats in the German Wadden Sea. This study presents large-scale measurements of sedimentation at biogenic structures that depend on

Heatwaves hinder mussel invasion by weakening byssus production
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Heatwaves and bioinvasion are among the most pressing ecological issues worldwide. The highly invasive South American mussels (Mytella strigata) can construct extremely dense byssal mats in intertidal habitats they invade, causing serious threats to ...
