Scales of recruitment variability in warming waters: Comparing native and introduced oysters in Hood Canal, Washington, USA
Abstract The effect of climate change on natural oyster recruitment has the potential to disrupt many of the ecosystem services oysters provide. Due to the temperature‐sensitivity of reproduction, oyster recruitment may shift as water temperatures rise. A biological imprint of climate change was rev...
