Conservation and restoration projects have emerged globally to address extensive declines
in mussel reefs and the ecosystem services they provide. The success of these efforts relies …

In recent decades, mussel beds in the northern Atlantic and Scandinavia have declined
rapidly in extent due to anthropogenic impacts, similar to many other marine habitats. In this …

Restoration of mussels typically focuses on either subtidal or intertidal habitats, although it is
important to consider the full historical range of a species. However, it remains unclear how …

The assessment of site suitability is a crucial step for informing future successful species
reintroductions. It ensures that translocated species have the highest chance of survival in …

Oyster reefs have declined globally, impacting ecosystem structure, function, and services.
The flat oyster Ostrea angasi was a dominant ecosystem engineer throughout southern …

Site selection is one of the biggest challenges affecting coastal restoration success, and can
be particularly difficult in the intertidal zone, where species are often living close to their …

Understanding how allometric exponents vary in the different biologically determined
patterns turns out to be fundamental for the development of a unifying hypothesis that …

Rocky intertidal habitats occur worldwide and are mainly characterized by primary space
holders such as seaweeds and sessile invertebrates. Some of these organisms are …

Populations of reef-building shellfish have been decimated globally by overharvesting and
habitat loss, leading to a corresponding degradation in the vital ecosystem services they …

The global loss of marine ecosystem engineering species, such as reef-building bivalves,
has led to widespread calls for restoration. Restoration of reef-building bivalves, such as …
