TL;DR: Asian oyster Crassostrea ariakensis is being considered for introduction to Atlantic coastal waters of the USA, and its seasonal pattern of infection in C. aRIakensis in Bonamia sp.-enzootic waters is evaluated to better understand the biology of this parasite and identify strategies for management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the Diet of a Sluggish Predator from Field Observations
TL;DR: It is demonstrated how dividing the observed proportion of all predators found feeding on a given prey type by the average contact time required to consume a single item of that prey type produces an estimate of the relative frequency of the prey in the predator's diet.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a review of the threats to coastal networks, including the effects of climate change, invasive species and major pollution incidents such as oil spills, taking into account the difficulties in quantifying biodiversity loss due to indirect cascading effects.
Journal Article
Growth and survivorship of non-native (Crassostrea gigas and Crassostrea ariakensis) versus native eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica)
Journal ArticleDOI
Prey Distribution, Physical Habitat Features, and Guild Traits Interact to Produce Contrasting Shorebird Assemblages among Foraging Patches
TL;DR: This study found that densities and community composition of foraging shorebirds varied substantially among elevations within some tidal flats and among five flats despite their proximity, highlighting the importance of habitat heterogeneity.
