Abstract:
We emphasize that (i) interrogating patterns in population dynamics allows us to limit the number of likely causes of high bivalve mortality and generate more specific hypotheses; (ii) extending studies to other benthic species indicates the likelihood of environmental problems that affect the entire ecosystem; (iii) joined‐up field and laboratory studies suggested that probable causes of cockle mortality were primarily species‐, or even cohort‐specific, biological factors; and (iv) well‐designed monitoring systems will indicate the population dynamics of the target species on spatio‐temporal scales suitable for assessing shifts in the populations, such as unexpected extirpation.
