- Mytilid mussels: global habitat engineers in coastal sediments (2009, unknown): “In contrast to our study, Crooks (1998) found higher species richness inside mats of M. senhousia on the North American PaciWc coast and Commito et al. (2005) demonstrated a decreased diversity in M. edulis beds in comparison to sand Xats without mussels on the North American Atlantic coast.”
- Impacts of bottom and suspended cultures of mussels Mytilus spp. on the surrounding sedimentary environment and macrobenthic biodiversity (2009, background): “A few, mainly intertidal studies have demonstrated signiWcant eVects of the presence of mussel beds on macrobenthic communities (Dittmann 1990; Ragnarsson and RaVaelli 1999; Beadman et al. 2004; Commito et al. 2005 ), although the strength and direction of these eVects diVer among studies.”
- Invertebrate dispersal and habitat heterogeneity: Expression of biological traits in a seagrass landscape (2010, background): “, 1988), and responses of single species to seagrass landscape structure (Bologna and Heck, 2000) and other biogenic structures (Eggleston et al., 1999; Commito et al., 2005) have been studied extensively.”
- Species diversity in the soft-bottom intertidal zone: Biogenic structure, sediment, and macrofauna across mussel bed spatial scales (2008, background): “For example, mussel beds often have enhanced densities of predators, such as green crabs Carcinus maenas (Saier, 2002; Smith and Shackley, 2004) and infaunal nemerteans (Commito et al., 2005).”
- Habitat structure and complexity as determinants of biodiversity in blue mussel beds on sublittoral rocky shores (2010, background): “Suchanek 1980; Wikström 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.”
- Biological modifiers of marine benthic seascapes: Their role as ecosystem engineers (2012, unknown): “sediment particle flux (Pilditch et al., 1998; Commito et al., 2005; Norkko et al., 2006).”
- Mussels as ecosystem engineers: Their contribution to species richness in a rocky littoral community (2007, background): “However, Commito et al. (2005) reported a reduction of species diversity in mussel bed patches compared with the unengineered bare sediment, in a situation in which the engineers increased spatial heterogeneity and complexity.”
