| مستخلص: |
The article presents the study on repeatable sediment associations of burrowing bivalves across six European tidal flat systems. It states that researchers compared adult and juvenile distributions of three bivalve species, including Cerastoderma edule, Scrobicularia plana and Macoma balthica, to investigate whether such repeatability exists across the tidal flats. It determines that the repeatable association in adults and juveniles with respect to sediment could suggest that juveniles actively settle near the adults and that juveniles settling away from the adults incur a higher mortality due to either predation, physiological stress, among others. |
