Patches of the mussel Mytilus sp. are islands of high biodiversity in subtidal sediment habitats in the Baltic Sea (2008, background): “…Biol 4: 75–87, 2008 by filter feeding, regenerate nutrients that benefit algae (Kautsky & Wallentinus 1980) and increase rates of sedimentation through biodeposition of organically enriched faeces and pseudo-faeces providing food for deposit feeders (Kautsky & Evans 1987, Norkko et al. 2001).”
Species diversity in the soft-bottom intertidal zone: Biogenic structure, sediment, and macrofauna across mussel bed spatial scales (2008, background): “Other studies have often found that bivalves produce the largest effects on bottom conditions and the macrofauna at small spatial scales (Norkko et al., 2001; Hewitt et al., 2002; Beadman et al., 2004; Callier et al., 2006).”
The ups and downs of benthic ecology: considerations of scale, heterogeneity and surveillance for benthic-pelagic coupling (2003, background): “Many studies have measured the input of living material from the pelagic to the benthos using traps (Godhe et al., 2001; Hansson, 1996; Norkko et al., 2001; Whitlatch and Osman, 1998; Whitlach et al., this volume), but there have been relatively few estimates of emergence from sediments to the…”

Impacts of bottom and suspended cultures of mussels Mytilus spp. on the surrounding sedimentary environment and macrobenthic biodiversity (2009, background): “Biodeposition in beds of suspension-feeding bivalves results from the active Wlter feeding by the bivalves, which leads to non-digested material being excreted to the sediment surface as feces and pseudo-feces (Kautsky and Evans 1987; Norkko et al. 2001 ).”
