Vegetated marine and freshwater habitats are being increasingly lost around the world.
Habitat restoration is a critical step for conserving these valuable habitats, but new …

Population dynamics are governed by four demographic rates: births, deaths, immigration,
and emigration. Variation in these rates and processes underlying such variation can be …

Coastal ecosystems can experience acidification via upwelling, eutrophication, riverine
discharge, and climate change. While the resulting increases in p CO 2 can have …

In marine systems, seagrass meadows, which serve as essential nursery and adult habitat
for numerous species, experience fragmentation through both human activity and …

Edge effects are a dominant subject in landscape ecology literature, yet they are highly
variable and poorly understood. Often, the literature suggests simple models for edge effects …

Many studies have quantified the ecological impacts of individual foundation species (FS).
However, emerging data suggest that FS often co‐occur, potentially inhibiting or facilitating …

Intensive efforts to restore bay scallop Argopecten irradians irradians populations and
fisheries in the Peconic Bays of eastern Long Island, New York, USA, were begun in 2006 …

Predation is a dominant structuring force in ecological communities. In aquatic
environments, predation on bivalves has long been an important focal interaction for …

Predator–prey interactions are often highly co‐evolved, with selection over time for prey with
morphological and behavioral traits that minimize predation risk. Consequently, in many …

Quantifying predator–prey interactions and gaining insights into predator behavior are
crucial for optimizing restoration strategies. However, such knowledge is often lacking for …
