High and dry: the persistence of diverse coastal marsh communities depends on available upland area and connection to surrounding waters

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sea‐level‐rise and alterations to natural hydrology have contributed to coastal land loss. To combat coastal land loss and maintain the ecosystem services provided by marshes, marsh creation has been broadly implemented. Marsh creation projects can be performed in conjunction with the construction of elevated terrestrial ridges that seek to mimic ...

Plants and animals of Oregon's rocky intertidal habitat

open access: yes
"This pamphlet is a pictorial guide to some of the more common intertidal plants and animals found in Oregon. It is an expansion of "A Guide to Oregon's Rocky Intertidal Areas" written by Laimons Osis in 1975. Here, the plants and animals are arranged by

Temporal and spatial refugia modify predation risk for non-native crabs in rocky intertidal habitats [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
Populations of the non-native Asian shore crab, Hemigrapsus sanguineus, now dominate the rocky intertidal of southern New England, USA. High abundances suggest the recent invader may have experienced enhanced success as a result of enemy release.

Global meta‐analysis highlights recovery of animal functional diversity in restored coastal ecosystems

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal ecosystems have experienced widespread global degradation, prompting substantial investment in restoration. While structural recovery is well documented, whether restoration reestablishes the functional diversity (FD) of animal communities and how recovery unfolds through time remains poorly resolved. Objectives This study

What do you mean, “seascape restoration”? Definitions and global practice

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine ecosystems is scaling up, fuelled by the growing recognition of the ecological and socio‐economic benefits sustained by nature and the need to recover what has been lost or degraded. Parallel to this, there is an increasing trend toward “multi‐species,” “multi‐habitat,” and “seascape” restoration projects ...

Influence of Green Tides in Coastal Nursery Grounds on the Habitat Selection and Individual Performance of Juvenile Fish.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Coastal ecosystems, which provide numerous essential ecological functions for fish, are threatened by the proliferation of green macroalgae that significantly modify habitat conditions in intertidal areas.

Species Composition Varies Among Artificial and Natural Benthic Substrates Within Estuarine Environments

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2026.
ABSTRACT As the commercial development of aquaculture grows, assessing the impact of culture gear on local marine communities becomes increasingly imperative. Gear associated with off‐bottom oyster aquaculture introduces artificial structure to areas that would otherwise be devoid of structural complexity and heterogeneity.

Life in a rock pool: Radiation and population genetics of myxozoan parasites in hosts inhabiting restricted spaces.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
IntroductionIntertidal rock pools where fish and invertebrates are in constant close contact due to limited space and water level fluctuations represent ideal conditions to promote life cycles in parasites using these two alternate hosts and to study ...

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2634-2655, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...
