Shift from native mussels to alien oysters: Differential effects of ecosystem engineers (2008, background): “Such engineers may differentially inhibit or facilitate other organisms, provide opportunities for novel niches and the differentiation of existing ones, and may alter the structure of food webs (Buschbaum et al., 2006; Diederich, 2006; Reise, 2002).”
The effect of temperature and salinity on the survival of Mytilopsis leucophaeata larvae (Mollusca, Bivalvia): The search for environmental limits (2007, background): “Also larvae of D. polymorpha and M. edulis show a broad temperature tolerance (Sprung, 1993; Almada-Villela et al., 1982), as do the larval phases of Ostrea edulis and C. gigas (Robert et al., 1988; Diederich, 2006).”
Growth performance and condition of oysters (Crassostrea gigas and Ostrea edulis) farmed in an offshore environment (North Sea, Germany) (2011, background): “High survival or lowmortality rates of Pacific oysters have also been reported for wild banks in the German Wadden Sea (Diederich, 2006; Schmidt et al., 2008) and for oyster cultures in South Australia (Li et al.”
Spatial variability in growth and reproduction of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg, 1793) along the west European coast (2007, background): “…of Mya arenaria from the America coast, no clear pattern in growth was found (Brousseau 1979, Brousseau and Baglivo 1987), and in wild European populations of C. gigas maximum shell length in the northern German Wadden Sea was lower (180 mm, Diederich 2006) than on Texel (220 mm, this study).”
Wadden Sea mussel beds invaded by oysters and slipper limpets: competition or climate control? (2006, background): “The coincidence of the observed decrease of mussels and the increase of oysters and slipper limpets may be caused by a negative impact of the two invaders on the native mussels since both introduced species have been described to negatively affect blue mussels in the northern Wadden Sea ( Diederich ”
The first occurrence of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the North Sea (2007, background): “It is another example of the invasions of biological species in this part of the world that might severely aVect the ecosystem (Diederich 2006).”
BIVALVE AQUACULTURE AND EXOTIC SPECIES: A REVIEW OF ECOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT ISSUES (2007, background): “C. gigas has also been observed to recruit to mussel beds on both rocky coasts (Orensanz et al. 2002) and mudflats and established mussel (M. edulis) reefs (Wolff & Reise 2002; Diederich 2005, Diederich 2006), slowly transforming the former mussel beds into oyster reefs.”
Causes and effects of a highly successful marine invasion: Case-study of the introduced Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in continental NW European estuaries (2010, background): “In addition, Diederich (2006) observed very high survival rates of C. gigas juveniles in comparison to native species.”
