Trait-based approaches to restoration ecology: Synthesizing insights from diverse systems. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Under accelerating global change, trait‐based approaches are emerging as essential tools in the ecological restoration toolbox. Where restoration has traditionally focused on the recovery of focal species in isolated systems, trait‐based methods can provide a common language that extends beyond species‐ or system‐specific contexts, allowing ...

Variation in Survival and Gut Microbiome Composition of Hatchery-Grown Native Oysters at Various Locations within the Puget Sound

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
The Olympia oyster (Ostrea lurida) of the Puget Sound suffered a dramatic population crash, but restoration efforts hope to revive this native species. One overlooked variable in the process of assessing ecosystem health is association of bacteria with ...

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.

Reestablishing larval connectivity in an estuarine landscape: the importance of shoreline and subtidal oysters (Crassostrea virginica) in a comprehensive oyster restoration program

Restoration Ecology
The decline of oyster reefs in estuaries has resulted from a combination of chronic and acute disturbances. The loss has resulted in decreased yield for the oyster fishery as well as a decline in ecological benefits that has led to increased efforts to ...

The curious case of eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica stock status in Apalachicola Bay, Florida

Ecology and Society, 2015
The Apalachicola Bay, Florida, eastern oyster ( Crassostrea virginica ) industry has annually produced about 10% of the U.S. oyster harvest. Today’s simple individual-operator, hand-tonging, small-vessel fishery is remarkably similar to the one that ...

Dynamics of Restored and Natural Oyster Reefs After a Hurricane

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Restoration of shellfish reefs has increased exponentially over the past two decades, due in part to increased awareness of widespread oyster habitat loss.

A blue carbon model for the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) and its application in environmental restoration

Aquatic conservation, 2023
Historically, considerations of the carbon budget of bivalve shellfish have disproportionately focused on the cycling of carbon in shell alone, overlooking respiratory release and the potential role of bivalve shellfish habitats in the stabilization of
