• Wadden Sea mussel beds invaded by oysters and slipper limpets: competition or climate control? (2006, background): “The main reason behind this often observed phenomenon seems to be a temporal mismatch of mussel recruits and their main predators, shrimps and crabs: after a cold winter, predators are late in entering the tidal flats so that mussel recruits face reduced predation rates (Strasser and Günther 2001; S”
• A review of the biology of European cockles (Cerastoderma spp.) (2012, background): “…and subsequent recruitment of cockles into the adult population can be influenced by a number of factors including predation, climate, larviphagy and sediment dynamics (Jensen & Jensen, 1985; André & Rosenberg, 1991; Young et al., 1998; Bouma et al., 2001; Flach, 2003; Beukema & Dekker, 2005).”
• Synergistic Effects of Climate and Fishing in a Marine Ecosystem (2009, background): “The steep divergent trends that develop between decapod and bivalve larval abundance (Figure 5A, mid 1990s onwards) when temperatures become warmer may therefore reflect observed effects of decapod predation on bivalve recruitment in the North Sea benthos (Beukema and Dekker 2005).”
• Shift from native mussels to alien oysters: Differential effects of ecosystem engineers (2008, background): “Intertidal flats of the Wadden Sea are nurseries for young epibenthic predators such asflatfish, shrimp and crabs that are capable of significantly reducing infaunal abundances (i.e. Reise, 1985; Strasser, 2002; Beukema and Dekker, 2005).”
• 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): “C. edule, M. arenaria and M. balthica still find a refuge from predation at higher intertidal levels (Beukema and Dekker, 2005).”
