Adult-juvenile interactions may help explain this patchiness. In this study, the effects of different densities of adult <i>Macoma balthica</i> (L.) on the numbers of re-locating juvenile <i>M. balthica</i> and <i>Cerastoderma edule</i> (L.) were examined. Two field experiments were conducted, which established three densities of adult <i>M. balthica</i> (reflecting the range of values found on the study site) and allowed recruitment of bivalves into experimental plots for two tidal cycles. Both experiments were run at peak summer arrival of juveniles at this site. The first was open to predators, the second was protected from larger epibenthic and avian predators by cages. The mean number of juvenile <i>C. edule</i> found in the high-density treatment was significantly lower than in the other density treatments in the first (open) experiment. There was also evidence of density-dependent predation by <i>Carcinus maenas</i> (L.). There were no significant effects of adult <i>M. balthica</i> density on the numbers of juvenile bivalves in the caged experiment. These results were compared with those from a small-scale field survey, which showed a negative correlation between juvenile <i>M. balthica</i> less or equal to 1.6 mm and individuals more or equal to 1.6 mm. Our study suggests that densities of M. balthica more or equal to 1.6 mm may have an impact on the numbers of juvenile bivalves (in particular, <i>C. edule</i>) re-locating at this site, but that this effect is not the result of direct adult-juvenile interactions, but is caused indirectly by density-dependent predation by <i>C. maenas</i>.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"The effects of the adult density of <i>Macoma balthica</i> on the recruitment of juvenile bivalves: a field experiment","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-14 01:31:03.374500","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":"Adult-juvenile interactions","Notes":null,"AnaPub":2002,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2002-11-08","DateCreate":"2002-08-06","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000174679400004","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1016/S1385-1101(01)00101-0"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":26180,"PubliDate":2002,"Pagination":"41-54","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"47","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43261,"SerRR":"Journal of Sea Research.
