Shift from native mussels to alien oysters: Differential effects of ecosystem engineers (2008, background): “Barnacle epigrowth is also known to enhance the recruitment of oysters on less favoured mussels and they also increase mussel recruitment on oyster and mussel shells (Buschbaum and Saier, 2001; Diederich, 2005).”
Spatial patterns of growth in the mussel, Mytilus californianus, across a major oceanographic and biogeographic boundary at Point Conception, California, USA (2007, background): “californianus have been observed to grow at faster rates than intertidal animals (Yamada and Peters, 1988; Yamada and Dunham, 1989; Buschbaum and Saier, 2001).”
Mytilid mussels: global habitat engineers in coastal sediments (2009, unknown): “In the intertidal zone of the northern Wadden Sea, M. edulis forms predominantly multi-layered beds on the sediment surface and may achieve densities of about 4,000 ind. m ¡ 2 (Buschbaum and Saier 2001).”
Stable carbon isotopic composition of Mytilus edulis shells: relation to metabolism, salinity, δ13CDIC and phytoplankton (2006, background): “There are also other possibilities which can increase metabolic rate, such as epibiont cover (e.g., barnacles (Buschbaum and Saier, 2001) which are more abundant at the KN site), exposure to predators (Frandsen and Dolmer, 2002), and pollution (Wang et al., 2005).”
