The objective of this study was to explore differences in attributes and biodiversity associated with an intertidal ecosystem engineer, the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819 between urban and non-urban shores. For this, mussel attributes and their associated macrofauna were compared between urban and non-urban rocky shores in the north of Portugal. Results showed that the largest sized mussels were more frequent on urban shores, whereas the smallest size class was only present in non-urban shores. Regarding macrofauna associated with mussels, the number of taxa was significantly higher on non-urban shores. Moreover, the structure of the macrobenhic assemblages was significantly different between urban and non-urban shores. Most important taxa responsible for differences were more abundant on non-urban shores except for Nucella\u00a0lapillus, Idotea\u00a0pelagica and Oligochaeta that were more abundant on urban shores. Therefore, our results showed that the mussel size frequency and the structure of the associated macrobenthic assemblages changed in urban shores. Considering the relevance of mussel beds for biodiversity and human well-being, our results indicate the need of adopting proper management plans to minimize these effects on urban intertidal ecosystems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jmse10020242","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,14]],"date-time":"2022-02-14T03:46:00Z","timestamp":1644810360000},"page":"242","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Differences in the Structure and Diversity of Invertebrate Assemblages Harbored by an Intertidal Ecosystem Engineer between Urban and Non-Urban Shores"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Ana Catarina","family":"Torres","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR) of the University of Porto, Novo Edif\u00edcio do Terminal de Cruzeiros do Porto de Leix\u00f5es, Avenida General Norton de Matos, 4450-208 Matosinhos, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, Rua do Campo Alegre s\/n, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1106-6035","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcos","family":"Rubal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR) of the University of Porto, Novo Edif\u00edcio do Terminal de Cruzeiros do Porto de Leix\u00f5es, Avenida General Norton de Matos, 4450-208 Matosinhos, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, Rua do Campo Alegre s\/n, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ricardo","family":"Costa-Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR) of the University of Porto, Novo Edif\u00edcio do Terminal de Cruzeiros do Porto de Leix\u00f5es, Avenida General Norton de Matos, 4450-208 Matosinhos, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, Rua do Campo Alegre s\/n, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9231-0553","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabel","family":"Sousa-Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR) of the University of Porto, Novo Edif\u00edcio do Terminal de Cruzeiros do Porto de Leix\u00f5es, Avenida General Norton de Matos, 4450-208 Matosinhos, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, Rua do Campo Alegre s\/n, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5706-465X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Puri","family":"Veiga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR) of the University of Porto, Novo Edif\u00edcio do Terminal de Cruzeiros do Porto de Leix\u00f5es, Avenida General Norton de Matos, 4450-208 Matosinhos, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, Rua do Campo Alegre s\/n, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"373","DOI":"10.2307\/3545850","article-title":"Organisms as ecosystem engineers","volume":"69","author":"Jones","year":"1994","journal-title":"Oikos"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1946","DOI":"10.1890\/0012-9658(1997)078[1946:PANEOO]2.0.CO;2","article-title":"Positive and negative effects of organisms as physical ecosystem engineers","volume":"78","author":"Jones","year":"1997","journal-title":"Ecology"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"211","DOI":"10.1641\/0006-3568(2006)056[0211:EEAEGI]2.0.CO;2","article-title":"Ecosystem engineering across environmental gradients: Implications for conservation and management","volume":"56","author":"Crain","year":"2006","journal-title":"Bioscience"},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"79","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0706.2003.12322.x","article-title":"Mollusks as ecosystem engineers: The role of shell production in aquatic habitats","volume":"101","author":"Jones","year":"2003","journal-title":"Oikos"},{"key":"ref_5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"243","DOI":"10.1016\/j.actao.2006.10.008","article-title":"Mussels as ecosystem engineers: Their contribution to species richness in a rocky littoral community","volume":"31","author":"Borthagaray","year":"2007","journal-title":"Acta Oecol."},{"key":"ref_6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"203","DOI":"10.1007\/s12526-014-0201-z","article-title":"Intertidal mussels as ecosystem engineers: Their associated invertebrate biodiversity under contrasting wave exposures","volume":"44","author":"Arribas","year":"2014","journal-title":"Mar.
