Habitat structure and complexity as determinants of biodiversity in blue mussel beds on sublittoral rocky shores (2010, background): “Suchanek 1980; Wikstrom and Kautsky 2007), by altering sediment Xuxes (Commito et al. 2005), by modifying nutrient content (Kautsky and Wallentinus 1980; Norling and Kautsky 2007 ) and by oVering food (Kautsky and Wallentinus 1980; Kangas et al. 1982) and hideouts from predators (Tsuchiya and Nishi”
Mytilid mussels: global habitat engineers in coastal sediments (2009, unknown): “Norling and Kautsky (2007) argue that the physical structure properties of a soft bottom mussel bed are the main factor responsible for biodiversity of associated species and that biological activities may have an additional positive e V ect on diversity due to the increased supply of mussel…”
Patches of the mussel Mytilus sp. are islands of high biodiversity in subtidal sediment habitats in the Baltic Sea (2008, background): “…due to structure, but also due to the mussels supplying functional resources that increase carrying capacity and biomass, in accordance with a study on the Swedish west coast where the associated community was supplied with 24 to 31% of its energy demand by the mussels (Norling & Kautsky 2007).”
Effect of pH on Gene Expression and Thermal Tolerance of Early Life History Stages of Red Abalone (Haliotis rufescens) (2010, background): “Molluscs are recognized as important ecosystem engineers (Gutiérrez et al. 2003), forming mussel beds (Norling & Kautsky 2007, Buschbaum et al. 2009) and oyster beds (Wells 1961, Zimmerman et al. 1989, Coen et al. 2007, Brumbaugh & Coen 2009).”
Impacts of ocean acidification on marine shelled molluscs (2013, background): “Analysis of the 1951–2008 time series of zooplankton in Californian coastal waters did not provide evidence for declines in the abundance of shelled pteropods (Ohman et al. 2009) despite a measurable reduction in aragonite saturation state in the same region (Feely et al. 2008).”
