Meta-analysis of ecosystem services associated with oyster restoration. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2023 Abstract Restoration of foundation species promises to reverse environmental degradation and return lost ecosystem services, but a lack of standardized evaluation across projects limits understanding of recovery, especially in marine systems.

Response of eelgrass (Zostera marina) to an adjacent Olympia oyster restoration project. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Recent restoration efforts for the native Olympia oyster, Ostrea lurida, are commonly motivated by potential return of oyster-associated ecosystem services, including increased water filtration. The potential impact of such restoration on another species

Integrating ecosystem services considerations within a GIS-based habitat suitability index for oyster restoration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Geospatial habitat suitability index (HSI) models have emerged as powerful tools that integrate pertinent spatial information to guide habitat restoration efforts, but have rarely accounted for spatial variation in ecosystem service provision.

Host genetic identity determines parasite community structure across time and space in oyster restoration. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2023 Intraspecific variation in host susceptibility to individual parasite species is common, yet how these effects scale to mediate the structure of diverse parasite communities in nature is less well understood.

Oyster Restoration to Recover Ecosystem Services
Annual Review of Marine ScienceOyster reef loss represents one of the most dramatic declines of a foundation species worldwide. Oysters provide valuable ecosystem services (ES), including habitat provisioning, water filtration, and shoreline protection. Since the 1990s, a global community of science and practice has organized around oyster restoration with the goal of restoring ...

Restoration EcologyIn the United States, restoring oyster reefs is increasingly a priority, due to a desire to return the economic, ecological, and social services the habitat can provide. This growing demand for oyster reef restoration has led to the development of an oyster reef restoration economy.

PLoS ONE, 2023 Reefs formed by Ostrea edulis, the European native oyster, are among many biogenic habitats that have declined globally. European oyster habitats are now rare, and undisturbed examples have not been described.
