We review the status of marine shellfish ecosystems formed primarily by bivalves in
Australia, including: identifying ecosystem-forming species, assessing their historical and …

Increasing responsiveness to anthropogenic climate change and the loss of global shellfish
ecosystems has heightened interest in the carbon storage and sequestration potential of …

Bivalve habitat restoration is growing in geographic extent and scale globally. While
addressing the wide‐scale loss of these biogenic habitats is still a key motivation behind …

New Zealand's coastal environment and associated habitats support valuable invertebrate
and finfish fisheries. Most of these fisheries are now fully exploited. Many have a history of …

Sea level rise (SLR) has been described as one of the greatest potential causes of
ecosystem disruption, putting many coastal areas at risk of irreversible changes. However …

The global loss in ecosystem engineers has initiated calls for restoration, which includes the
UN declaration of 2021–2030 as the decade of ecosystem restoration. As researchers dive …

Self-organized spatial patterns occur in many terrestrial, aquatic, and marine ecosystems.
Theoretical models and observational studies suggest self-organization, the formation of …

The global loss of marine ecosystem engineers has caused an unprecedented decline in
biodiversity. Although wild shellfish habitats have been shown to support biodiverse …

Providing benthic substrate is the most common method used for oyster reef restoration. The
physical relief from the seabed, increased habitat complexity, and attachment surfaces have …

Both the invasion of non-indigenous marine species (NIMS) and the generation and
