Invasive mammals disrupt sea–land nutrient inputs over 169 years on subtropical oceanic islands

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Invasive mammals have severely impacted oceanic islands, reducing or extirpating seabird populations and driving the collapse of nutrient flows with lasting ecosystem effects. We investigated these dynamics on contrasting subtropical oceanic islands in the South Pacific: Rangitāhua, a large island where goats, cats, and rats caused the ...

Population Structure and Genetic Diversity of Oysters from a Natural Reef on Magu Island, Shandong, China

Diversity
Oyster reefs are receiving increasing attention due to severe survival challenges and their significant ecological service functions. Despite increased restorations worldwide, both natural and restored reefs have often not been monitored to an extent ...

Overcoming restoration paradigms: value of the historical record and metapopulation dynamics in native oyster restoration

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015
Restoration strategies for native oyster populations rely on multiple sources of information, which often conflict due to time- and space-varying patterns in abundance and distribution.

Habitat structural complexity alters the refuge value of restored oyster reefs

, 2014
Results indicate an increased refuge role for nekton provided by reefs as oyster density or habitat structural complexity increases, but that there is a threshold above which increased complexity no longer increases the refuge value of the reef.

Habitat mapping for assessing coastal restored oyster reef effects

Understanding surrounding habitat conditions before oyster reef restoration is crucial to assessing its future impacts and achieved goals. The EU-co-funded LIFE NatuReef project may provide a peculiar case study of oyster reef restoration for ...

The gross ecosystem product of oyster reefs

Frontiers in Marine Science
Oyster reefs are critical interfacial habitats that underpin coastal and marine bio-diversity, and enhance multiple ecosystem services of blue carbon habitats, including water filtration and shoreline stabilization. However, despite this ecological value,
