Long-distance interactions regulate the structure and resilience of coastal ecosystems
Mounting evidence indicates that spatial interactions are important in structuring coastal
ecosystems. Until recently, however, most of this work has been focused on seemingly …

Multiple interactions networks: towards more realistic descriptions of the web of life
Ecological communities are defined by species interacting dynamically in a given location at
a given time, and can be conveniently represented as networks of interactions. Pairwise …

The influence of benthic macrofauna on the erodibility of intertidal sediments with varying mud content in three New Zealand estuaries
Fine sediment inputs can alter estuarine ecosystem structure and function. However, natural
variations in the processes that regulate sediment transport make it difficult to predict their …

Quantifying tradeoffs in ecosystem services under various oyster reef restoration designs
S Hogan, MA Reidenbach - Estuaries and Coasts, 2022 - Springer
Oyster populations within the coastal bays of Virginia have greatly declined, mainly due to
overharvesting and disease, and past restoration efforts have largely focused on increasing …
