Oysters build reefs with optimal geometries

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Some species, including oysters, shape their habitat. However, the relationship between the 3D properties of their habitat and demographic processes is unclear. Experiments with systematically varying habitat units shed light on how specific combinations of geometric attributes influence oyster establishment and survival under predation. Habitat complexity and predation pressure interact to affect oyster recruitment and survival.
