Experiments reveal how habitat geometry impacts oyster survival and recruitment under predation pressure.
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.
