Hitching a ride on Hercules : fatal epibiosis drives ecosystem change from mud banks to oyster reefs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
[Excerpt] Best known as a "love them or hate them" luxury food, or for their pearls, oysters are also ecosystem engineers, forming vast oyster reefs. Oyster reefs provide habitat for a myriad of species, and support fisheries, improve water quality and ...

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Denitrification and nutrient assimilation on a restored oyster reef [PDF]

open access: yesMarine Ecology Progress Series, 2013
At a restored reef site and a control site in the Choptank River, Maryland, USA, we partially quantified the effect of oyster reef resto- ration on the removal of nutrients from the water column by determining seasonal fluxes of oxygen (O2), ammonium (NH4 + ), combined nitrate and nitrite (NO2+3), di-nitrogen (N2) and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP ...

Systems of reciprocity in human–ocean relationships: Across time, place, language and culture

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1660-1675, June 2026.
Abstract In the face of large‐scale marine environmental challenges, solutions that meaningfully capture the complexity of socio‐cultural and economic factors contributing to such issues—and their solutions—are urgently needed. This scoping review explores examples of reciprocity in human–ocean relationships to inform the conceptual underpinning and ...

Seawater carbonate chemistry and characterization of oyster growth and calcification on constructed oyster reefs

open access: yes
This study, therefore, sought to (1) characterize the baseline pH/DO variability as well as the associated drivers of the carbonate system in constructed reefs to (2) determine the reefs' influence on the biogeochemistry of the overlying waters and (3 ...

Comparison of methods for determining biogeochemical fluxes from a restored oyster reef.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Oyster reef restoration can significantly increase benthic denitrification rates. Methods applied to measure nutrient fluxes and denitrification from oyster reefs in previous studies include incubations of sediment cores collected adjacent to oyster ...

Late Jurassic Carbon Isotope Excursion (Middle Oxfordian Event) Paces With Astronomical Forcing in the Northwestern Tethys

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Marine carbonate carbon isotopes (δ13C), over orbital to multi‐million‐year timescales, provide critical insight into the carbon cycle connecting Earth's atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. However, the influence of astronomical forcing on deep time carbon cycle dynamics remains poorly constrained.

Low-cost Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) With Multispectral Sensor for Mapping and Classification of Intertidal Biogenic Oyster Reefs

open access: yes, 2021
The upsurge in the development of RPAS technology for low altitude remote sensing and miniaturized sensors for enhanced imaging, have led to an increase in marine ecological applications.
