Economic Valuation of Ecosystem Services Provided by Oyster Reefs (2012, methodology): “bRestoration costs (in $1000 per hectare) were obtained from the following sources: Spurgeon (1998) for salt marshes, seagrass beds, mangroves, and coral reefs; Fonseca and colleagues (1982) for seagrass beds; Lewis and Streever (2000) for mangroves; Spurgeon and Lindhal (2000) for coral reefs; and ”
Introduction of Non-Native Oysters: Ecosystem Effects and Restoration Implications (2005, methodology): “Lenihan et al. (2001) used the native oyster C. virginica to compare fish and epibenthic invertebrate (blue crab, mud crabs, grass shrimp, and amphipods) assemblages on experimentally constructed reefs with assemblages on soft-sediment bottom in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina.”
Effects of hypoxia on predator-prey dynamics of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus and the Baltic clam Macoma balthica in Chesapeake Bay (2003, background): “Often, the first response of a mobile organism is to increase its respiration rate, or migrate away from hypoxic areas (Pihl 1989, Baden et al. 1990, Pihl et al. 1991, Lenihan et al. 2001).”
HOW HABITAT SETTING INFLUENCES RESTORED OYSTER REEF COMMUNITIES (2005, background): “For instance, the spatial arrangement of habitats can alter the foraging behavior of an individual predator, including which habitat patches and associated prey it has access to (Micheli and Peterson 1999, Lenihan et al. 2001).”
Responding to spatial and temporal variations in predation risk: space use of a game species in a changing landscape of fear (2009, background): “Our findings highlight how harvesting activities can have a major impact on natural ecosystems, even those protected from human activities, via the mobility of refugee animals (Lenihan et al. 2001; Ripple and Beschta 2004).”
Species-specific avoidance responses by blue crabs and fish to chronic and episodic hypoxia (2005, background): “For example, hypoxic upwelling events can cause crowding in shallow refuge habitats (Loesch 1960; Pihl et al. 1991; Breitburg 1992; Lenihan et al. 2001 ), which could lead to enhanced predation risk via increased agonism and harassment (Bell 2002; Eby and Crowder 2002).”
Recruitment overfishing in a bivalve mollusc fishery: hard clams (Mercenaria mercenaria) in North Carolina (2002, background): “1994; Lenihan and Peterson 1998), as habitat for a diverse and economically important suite of finfishes and crustaceans implies that establishment of a network of oyster reef sanctuaries may serve an important role in sustaining a broad suite of coastal fisheries (Lenihan et al. 2001).”
Habitat degradation from intermittent hypoxia: impacts on demersal fishes (2005, background): “In addition to modifying prey availability in the disturbed area, prey depletion associated with motile predator accumulation in oxygenated refuges can transmit impacts of hypoxia indirectly to remote, undisturbed refuge habitats (Lenihan et al. 2001).”
Effects of accumulations of sediments and drift algae on recruitment of sessile organisms associated with oyster reefs (2006, background): “In comparison, few studies have considered recruitment of sessile organisms in soft-bottom systems, where oysters, mussels and man-made constructions provide patches of hard substratum (Underwood and Anderson, 1994; Anderson and Underwood, 1997; Anderson, 1999a,b; Connell and Glasby, 1999; Glasby, 1”
Habitat complexity mitigates trophic transfer on oyster reefs (2004, background): “…intermediate predators such as juvenile fish and transient macroinvertebrates also aggregate within complex habitats (Summerson & Peterson 1984, Lenihan et al. 2001, Hei- © Inter-Research 2004 · www.int-res.com*Email: jgrabow@maine.edu KEY WORDS: Mercenaria mercenaria · Panopeus herbstii ·…”
