Predators can have strong roles in structuring communities defined by foundation species. Accumulating evidence shows that predation on reef-building oysters can be intense and …
Recent studies have suggested that increasing habitat complexity of artificial seawalls by modifying surface heterogeneity could enhance exploitable habitat and therefore species …
Remnant oyster reefs support diverse communities of invertebrates and fish, and there is growing interest in restoring this important habitat. Whether the construction of new oyster …
Long‐term monitoring is vital to understanding the efficacy of restoration approaches and how restoration may enhance ecosystem functions. We revisited restored oyster reefs 13 …
The importance of intertidal estuarine habitats, like salt marsh and oyster reef, has been well established, as has their ubiquitous loss along our coasts with resultant forfeiture of the …
For restoration projects conducted in environments with strong predation, effective predator mitigation can be key to the successful recruitment of habitat‐forming species, and the …

Oysters (Crassostrea virginica) provide multiple ecosystem services to coastal habitats. Due to their declines, numerous restoration efforts target oysters, making it critical to explore …
Reef-building eastern oysters, Crassostrea virginica, provide many ecosystem services, including production of valuable commercial products, formation of complex habitats …
Predation affects community structure and functioning within marine habitats. Predator–prey interactions can change through space and time. Documenting how these interactions …
