- The Gray Zone: Relationships between habitat loss and marine diversity and their applications in conservation (2008, background): “Oyster and other shellfish reefs, for example, can control water turbidity of whole bays, with positive impacts on submerged aquatic vegetation due to greater light penetration and higher rates of photosynthesis (Meyer and Townsend, 2000).”
- Comparisons of macrofaunal assemblages on restored and non-restored oyster reefs in mesohaline regions of Chesapeake Bay in Maryland (2006, background): “Only two other studies (Lenihan et al., 2001; Meyer and Townsend, 2000) compared restored reefs to natural reefs and both of these studies were located in higher salinity areas than this study.”
- Introduction of Non-Native Oysters: Ecosystem Effects and Restoration Implications (2005, unknown): “…are habitat for sessile, mobile, and even infaunal invertebrates, such as sponges, bryozoans, hydroids, corals, anemones, tunicates, crabs, shrimp, amphipods, isopods, cumaceans, polychaete, oligochaete, and flat worms (Wells 1961, Bahr & Lanier 1981, Coen et al. 1999b, Meyer & Townsend 2000).”
- Tube worms promote community change (2006, background): “…Darwin mounds to seagrass meadows, oyster beds and mussel banks (Tsuchiya & Nishihira 1986, DeGrave 1999, Edgar 1999, Ragnarsson & Raffaelli 1999, Meyer & Townsend 2000, Angel & Ojeda 2001, Castilla et al. 2004, Van Gaever et al. 2004) and have shown that bioengineering affects recruitment,…”
- Using transplanted oyster (Crassostrea virginica) beds to improve water quality in small tidal creeks: a pilot study (2004, background): “Oysters provide numerous economic and ecological benefits including commercial fisheries value (Breitburg et al., 2000; Mallin et al., 2000), habitat diversity (Posey et al., 1999; Breitburg et al., 2000), and erosion control (Meyer et al., 1997).”
- The Potential for Created Oyster Shell Reefs as a Sustainable Shoreline Protection Strategy in Louisiana (2005, background): “Created intertidal reefs in North Carolina, as measured by oyster cluster production, also proved to be self-sustaining because created reefs produced oyster clusters at levels equal or above that of adjacent natural reefs (Meyer & Townsend 2000).”
