Seascape connectivity: evidence, knowledge gaps and implications for temperate coastal ecosystem restoration practice and policy Open
Temperate coastal marine ecosystems have undergone severe global loss and degradation. We provide a framework for considering ecological connectivity in marine systems and evidence for ecological connectivity across temperate coastal seasc…

European Native Oyster Reef Ecosystems Are Universally Collapsed Open
Oyster reefs are often referred to as the temperate functional equivalent of coral reefs. Yet evidence for this analogy was lacking for the European native species Ostrea edulis . Historical data provide a unique opportunity to develop a r…

European native oyster reef ecosystems are universally Collapsed Open
Oyster reefs are often referred to as the temperate functional equivalent of coral reefs. Yet evidence for this analogy is lacking for the European native species Ostrea edulis and its biogenic habitat. Recently assembled historical data p…

Site selection for European native oyster (<span><i>Ostrea edulis</i></span>) habitat restoration projects: An expert‐derived consensus Open
The European native oyster ( Ostrea edulis ) is a threatened keystone species which historically created extensive, physically complex, biogenic habitats throughout European seas. Overfishing and direct habitat destruction, subsequently co…

Overcoming <i>Ostrea edulis</i> seed production limitations to meet ecosystem restoration demands in the UN decade on restoration Open
The European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis , is a habitat-forming bivalve which was historically widespread throughout Europe. Following its decline due to overfishing, pollution, sedimentation, invasive species, and disease, O. edulis and it…

Population trends of harbour and grey seals in the Greater Thames Estuary Open
In this paper, results from two decades of seal population data for the Greater Thames Estuary between 2003 to 2019 are presented, together with the results of two harbour seal pup surveys conducted in 2011 and 2018. Counts of hauled out h…

Tidal drift removes the need for area-restricted search in foraging Atlantic puffins Open
Understanding how animals forage is a central objective in ecology. Theory suggests that where food is uniformly distributed, Brownian movement ensures the maximum prey encounter rate, but when prey is patchy, the optimal strategy resemble…

Using citizen science to improve the conservation of the European Eel (<i>Anguilla anguilla</i>) in the Thames River Basin District Open
The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is Critically Endangered under the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria because it has markedly declined in abundance across all
\nlife-history stages in much of its natural range. Barriers to migratio…

Variation between European eel Anguilla anguilla (L.) stocks in five marshes of the Thames Estuary (United Kingdom) Open
The European eel (Anguilla anguilla, L.) was historically widely distributed throughout the United Kingdom, in coastal waters, lakes, rivers and wetlands. Recruitment has declined in recent decades and the species is now listed as 'Critica…
