Spatial-temporal distribution and recruitment of Stramonita haemastoma (Linnaeus, 1758) (Mollusca) on a sandstone bank in Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2011
We examined aspects of the population ecology of the gastropod Stramonita haemastoma at Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil. We collected monthly from October 2007 through September 2008 on a sandstone bank 1.5 km long, on which two points and two sampling levels were defined.

Stramonita haemastoma as a bioindicator for organotin contamination in coastal environments [PDF]

open access: yesMarine Environmental Research, 2007
Stramonita haemastoma was investigated as a suitable bioindicator of TBT and TPhT contamination in the tropical Atlantic Ocean by: 1. Imposex induction in healthy females after inoculation with TBT and TPhT in the laboratory; and 2. Determining incidence of imposex in S.

Demography of Oysters Pre‐ and Postcollapse in Apalachicola Bay, Florida, Using Stage‐Based Counts

open access: yesMarine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023
Abstract The collapse of oyster populations and the fisheries they support has been a worldwide phenomenon, but studies of oyster demography in situ prior to and after the collapse have been rare. We used time series of stage‐based counts of eastern oysters Crassostrea virginica in Apalachicola Bay, Florida, to help understand how abundance and ...

Predicting diversity in benthic macro‐scale communities associated with mussel matrices in three Pacific ecoregions

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 44, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Marine mussels are ubiquitous and their tough byssal threads allow for the formation of expansive, age‐aggregated mats known as mussel matrices which can host marine invertebrates and algal macro‐benthic communities playing an important role in food‐web dynamics.

Differential feeding rates of native and alien predators on the invasive Asian date mussel Arcuatula senhousia (Benson in cantor, 1842) in a Mediterranean coastal lagoon

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 44, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract The alien Asian date mussel Arcuatula senhousia inhabits several coastal environments worldwide. This species can form dense mats where individuals attach through byssus threads, thus altering the structure, functioning and biodiversity of the native communities.

Macrozoobenthic community assemblage as key indicator for mangrove restoration success in North Sumatra and Aceh, Indonesia

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 7, September 2022., 2022
The recognition of the high value of mangrove forests and the wide array of ecosystem services they provide has motivated investment in worldwide restoration efforts. However, current metrics of functional restoration (other than seedling survival rates and plant community composition) are often not readily available for local community managers ...
