Oyster reefs as carbon sources and sinks. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2017
Carbon burial is increasingly valued as a service provided by threatened vegetated coastal habitats. Similarly, shellfish reefs contain significant pools of carbon and are globally endangered, yet considerable uncertainty remains regarding shellfish reefs' role as sources (+) or sinks (−) of atmospheric CO 2 . While

The turbulent soundscape of intertidal oyster reefs. [PDF]

PLoS One
Abstract Turbulence and sound are important cues for oyster reef larval recruitment. Numerous studies have found a relationship between turbulence intensity and swimming behaviors of marine larvae, while others have documented the importance of sounds in enhancing larval recruitment to oyster reefs.

Extensive spatial impacts of oyster reefs on an intertidal mudflat community via predator facilitation [PDF]

Communications Biology, 2022
A spatial analysis of the mudflat community of Bourgneuf Bay, France before and after experimental oyster reef removal reveals the role of oyster reefs in influencing microphytobenthos via predator facilitation.

Estuarine fishes associated with intertidal oyster reefs characterized using environmental DNA and baited remote underwater video

Environmental DNA, 2022
It has been widely shown that oyster reefs enhance local biodiversity and fisheries production. To determine the importance of intertidal remnant estuarine oyster reefs compared to unstructured sandy habitats over small spatial scales (

Oyster and Barnacle Recruitment Dynamics on and Near a Natural Reef in China: Implications for Oyster Reef Restoration

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Oysters and barnacles are dominant inhabitants of natural and restored oyster reefs around the world, and high areal coverage of barnacles at natural or restored reefs commonly decreases substrate accessibility for oyster settlement.
