• Stable carbon isotopic composition of Mytilus edulis shells: relation to metabolism, salinity, δ13CDIC and phytoplankton (2006, background): “Mussels (M. edulis) were collected from the intertidal zone along the salinity gradient of the Scheldt estuary (Westerschelde) from Knokke (KN), Hoofdplaat (HF), Griete (GR) and Ossenisse (OS; the most upstream occurrence of wild Mytilus populations) (Fig.”
• Balancing survival and reproduction: seasonality of wave action, attachment strength and reproductive output in indigenous Perna perna and invasive Mytilus galloprovincialis mussels (2007, background): “Hydrodynamic forces affect these 2 species by increasing their growth rates at exposed sites; in addition, M. galloprovincialis individuals experiencing high hydrodynamic stress tend to increase shell thickness (Steffani & Branch 2003).”
• Hydrodynamic stress and habitat partitioning between indigenous (Perna perna) and invasive (Mytilus galloprovincialis) mussels: constraints of an evolutionary strategy (2006, background): “Our results and the decreased growth rates and condition values of M. galloprovincialis on extremely exposed shores ( Steffani and Branch 2003a ), support the prediction that the ability of M. galloprovincialis to displace P. perna will be more pronounced at moderately exposed sites.”
• An integrated ecosystem approach for assessing the potential role of cultivated bivalve shells as part of the carbon trading system (2015, background): “…more of the energy that is available for growth towards producing relatively thick shells compared to mussels cultivated in suspended structures, which could be related to feeding conditions (Aldrich & Crowley 1986), hydrodynamics (Steffani & Branch 2003) and predation pressure (Lowen et al. 2013).”
• Wave action and competitive interaction between the invasive mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the indigenous Perna perna in South Africa (2006, background): “of wave exposures ( Steffani and Branch 2003c ).”
