How common are invasion-induced ecosystem impacts? (2011, background): “For instance, introduced oysters have myriad impacts where they are settling on soft substrates and not simply replacing native oyster species (Ruesink et al. 2005).”
The ecological role of bivalve shellfish aquaculture in the estuarine environment: A review with application to oyster and clam culture in West Coast (USA) estuaries (2009, background): “200 B.R.D um bauld et al./ A quaculture 290 (2009) 196 –223 of the U.S. and Asia (Ruesink et al., 2005).”
Growth performance and condition of oysters (Crassostrea gigas and Ostrea edulis) farmed in an offshore environment (North Sea, Germany) (2011, background): “, 1995) instead of its counterpart, the introduced Pacific oyster (Andrews, 1980; Chew, 1990; Ruesink et al., 2005).”
A framework to study the context-dependent impacts of marine invasions (2011, background): “A few reviews have also focused on impacts associated with specific taxonomic groups such as oysters (Ruesink et al., 2005; Padilla, 2010) or seaweeds (Schaffelke and Hewitt, 2007; Williams and Smith, 2007; Thomsen et al., 2009).”
Ecology of the invasive Asian clam Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) in aquatic ecosystems: an overview (2008, background): “…webs and sedimentation rates of particulate matter in habitats where they are abundant (Yamamuro & Koike 1993, 1994, Gerritsen et al. 1994, Phelps 1994, Dame 1996, Ricciardi et al. 1997, Strayer et al. 1999, Nakamura & Kerciku 2000, Gangnery et al. 2001, Kohata et al. 2003, Ruesink et al. 2005).”
Potential transport of harmful algae via relocation of bivalve molluscs (2008, background): “…has been reported or suggested as a potential vector for transport into new environments of various non-native microorganisms such as parasites, pathogenic bacteria (Carriker 1992, Ruesink et al. 2005), and harmful algae (Bricelj et al. 1993, Vila et al. 2001, Lilly et al. 2002, Penna et al. 2005).”
Trophic interactions between two introduced suspension-feeders, Crepidula fornicata and Crassostrea gigas, are influenced by seasonal effects and qualitative selection capacity (2007, unknown): “…et al., 2001; Thieltges et al., 2003; Ruesink et al., 2005; Cognie et al., 2006), but have also generated ecological consequences such as alterations of benthic habitats and communities, or food chain changes (e.g. Ehrhold et al., 1998; Ruesink et al., 2005; Thieltges, 2005; Wonham et al., 2005).”
Assessing the global threat of invasive species to marine biodiversity (2008, background): “Furthermore, when oys ter populations are supplemented with alien oysters, other alien species can piggyback on their shells (Ruesink et al. 2005).”
Changes in productivity associated with four introduced species: ecosystem transformation of a pristine estuary (2006, background): “…2006 biological differences between the 2 oyster species that drastically affect their ecological impacts: C. gigas grows several times faster (Ruesink et al. 2005, A. C. Trimble et al. unpubl. data), reaches a larger maximum size (30 vs. 6 cm; Baker 1995), and has greater desiccation and…”
The Gray Zone: Relationships between habitat loss and marine diversity and their applications in conservation (2008, background): “Also, in some cases, alien species are deliberately introduced to replace lost habitats of significant commercial value (e.g. oyster reefs, Ruesink et al., 2005).”
Non-indigenous invasive bivalves as ecosystem engineers (2009, background): “…high densities and comprise a major proportion of the benthic faunal biomass (e.g., Corbicula fluminea, Sousa et al. 2008b; Crassostrea gigas, Ruesink et al. 2005; Dreissena polymorpha, Strayer et al. 1999; Limnoperna fortunei, Boltovskoy et al. 2006; Musculista senhousia, Crooks and Khim…”
