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

Crab fisheries play a crucial role in global fishery economics, but they heavily rely on wild
catches. With the decline and exploratory limits of wild populations, expanding the scale and …

The impact of seawater acidification on calcifying organisms varies at the species level. If the
impact differs between predator and prey in strength and/or sign, trophic interactions may be …

Coastal hypoxia and anoxia have become a global key stressor to marine ecosystems, with
almost 500 dead zones recorded worldwide. By triggering cascading effects from the …

Hypoxia in aquatic ecosystems is often a result of anthropogenic activities, such as
increased nutrient loading, originating from agriculture or urbanization, as well as global …

We integrated across individual, population, community, and ecosystem levels to
understand the impact of environmental stress by tracking the foundation species Mytilus …

When dissolved oxygen levels decline in aquatic systems, prey may be unable to maintain
behaviours protecting them from predators. We examined how oxygen availability affected …

Ocean acidification and hypoxia, both caused by anthropogenic activities, have showed
deleterious impacts on marine animals. However, their combined effect on the mussel's …

Natural stress gradients can reduce predation intensity and increase prey abundances.
Whether the harsh conditions of anthropogenic habitat degradation can similarly reduce …

In the western Baltic Sea, the highly competitive blue mussel Mytilus edulis tends to
monopolize shallow water hard substrata. In many habitats, mussel dominance is mainly …
