Density-dependent effects of an introduced oyster, Crassostrea gigas, on a native intertidal seagrass, Zostera marina

Creator:

Wagner, Eric, Dumbauld, Brett R., Hacker, Sally D., Trimble, Alan C., Wisehart, Lorena M., and Ruesink, Jennifer L.

Abstract:

Seagrasses and bivalves co-occur worldwide, and each plays a role in the structure, function, and services of coastal ecosystems. While seagrasses are declining, bivalve aquaculture is expanding, and impacts from culture practices, as opposed to the cultured organisms themselves, need to be distinguished. In 2 experiments, we tested the effects...

Life history and morphological shifts in an intertidal seagrass following multiple disturbances

Creator:

Ruesink, Jennifer L., Fitzpatrick, John P., Dumbauld, Brett R., Hacker, Sally D., Trimble, Alan C., Wagner, Eric L., and Wisehart, Lorena M.

Abstract:

Disturbance regimes differ in type, magnitude, and frequency, but few field experiments have considered compounded effects of disturbance. In this study, we characterized gap recovery after complete removal of eelgrass (Zostera marina) in Willapa Bay, Washington, USA. In separate experiments, we imposed two disturbance types – shoot damage and shoot...
