The genetic structure of New Zealand's coastal benthos: using the estuarine clam Austrovenus stutchburyi, to determine rates of gene flow and population connectivity
… the population genetic structure of the clam Austrovenus stutchburyi using the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase c subunit I (COI). Analyses indicated that dispersal was limited and that gene flow was mostly occurring among estuaries in close proximity. Genetic boundaries were detected in …

Tīmata whakaora, kickstarting recovery - Using bivalves to bioremediate degraded estuarine sediments
… of two functionally distinct bivalve species, Austrovenus stutchburyi, a surface-dwelling suspension feeding bioturbator, and Macomona liliana, a deep-burrowing porewater-pressuriser, in supporting recovery of estuarine function following disturbance. Two field experiments in Tauranga Harbour, …

Changes in benthic ecosystem properties and functions across sedimentary gradients in estuaries
… maximum densities of key bioturbating bivalves (Austrovenus stutchburyi and Macomona liliana) with increased mud content. Concurrently, the maximum rates of sediment oxygen consumption (SOC), NH₄⁺ efflux (a proxy of nutrient regeneration)and biomass standardised gross primary production …

The impact of macrophyte mats on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning of benthic communities
… the key benthic species (the suspension-feeder Austrovenus stutchburyi and the deposit-feeder Macomona liliana) at this site, which is likely the reason more significant treatment effects were not observed in the measures of ecosystem function. Significant temporal variation was measured in most …
