Shorebird populations, especially those feeding on shellfish, have strongly declined in
recent decades and identifying the drivers of these declines is important for conservation …

Wetland loss has driven negative effects on biodiversity by a reduction in potential available
habitats, directly impacting wetland-dependent species such as migratory shorebirds. At …

Assessing fluxes of matter and energy in food webs within and across benthic habitats is
important to understand the ecological functioning in bays and estuaries, where the …

The distribution of shorebirds is strongly linked to the availability of their prey consisting
mainly of benthic invertebrates, especially during wintering and migratory stopovers. To …

Fluxes of organic matter are the foundation of the functioning of ecosystems and the

Bioirrigation, the exchange of solutes between overlying water and sediment by benthic
organisms, plays an important role in sediment biogeochemistry. Bioirrigation either is …
