Bivalve molluscs are abundant in marine and freshwater ecosystems and perform important
ecological functions. Bivalves have epifaunal or infaunal lifestyles but are largely filter …

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 …

We investigated the individual and interactive effects of coastal and climate change
stressors (elevated temperatures, acidification, and hypoxia) on the growth, survival, and …

The role of bivalve mariculture in the CO 2 cycle has been commonly evaluated as the
balance between respiration, shell calcium carbonate sequestration and CO 2 release …

Using large‐scale field surveys across 12 estuaries in two provinces in Atlantic Canada, we
analyzed changes in phytoplankton and benthic macroalgal communities as well as the …

Seagrass habitats, which provide essential ecosystem functions such as water quality
improvement, biodiversity support, ocean acidification amelioration, and sediment carbon …

The rapid growth of aquaculture at a worldwide scale [1] has generated concerns about the
impacts of the activity not only on local environments but also at the social scale, as …

During the past century, bivalve populations across the globe have collapsed, resulting in
negative ecosystem consequences due to their outsized impact on shallow estuaries. In …

Seafloor biodiversity is a key mediator of ecosystem functioning, but its role is often excluded
from global budgets or simplified to black boxes in models. New techniques allow …

High temperature and hypoxia greatly threaten marine life and aquaculture. Scallops, a
diverse and ecologically important group of high economic value, mostly thrive in fluctuating …
