Oyster reef restoration supports increased nekton biomass and potential commercial fishery value [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Across the globe, discussions centered on the value of nature drive many conservation and restoration decisions. As a result, justification for management activities increasingly asks for two lines of evidence: (1) biological proof of augmented ecosystem

Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence

A scientific framework for conservation aquaculture: A case study of oyster restoration in central California

, 2020
The emerging field of conservation aquaculture focuses on the potential for incorporating aquaculture techniques into restoration. Extensive loss of oyster reefs worldwide has led to restoration initiatives that sometimes incorporate aquaculture, but few

Healthcare Professional Survey on Complementary Feeding and Allergy Prevention in High‐ Versus Low‐Risk Infants: An EAACI Task Force Report

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Complementary feeding (CF) influences infants' long‐term dietary preferences, growth, and food allergy (FA) risk. However, guidance given to families and the implementation of FA prevention guidelines by healthcare professionals (HCPs) remain unclear.

Reversing functional extinction: successful restoration of eradicated oyster reefs

Restoration Ecology
Functionally extinct ecosystems, those that have been locally eradicated save for remnant individuals, are unlikely to naturally recover over meaningful human time frames.

Coastal evolution, environmental change and carbon storage in the Thung Prong Thong Mangrove, eastern Gulf of Thailand

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palaeoenvironmental records along the eastern coast of Thailand remain sparse, with only a few studies attempting to reconstruct past climatic and environmental conditions. However, additional palaeoenvironmental, palaeoclimatic and sea‐level records are needed to improve our understanding of coastal evolution and local environmental changes.

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

European native oysters and associated species richness in the presence of non‐native species in a southern North Sea estuary complex

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
There are growing calls to restore populations of European native oysters (Ostrea edulis), on the premise that restored populations will support a range of ecosystem services with an emphasis placed on restored oyster habitats promoting biological ...
