objective: </u></p>

<p>The alteration of habitat structure by introduced ecosystem
engineers imposes direct impacts on native biota but can also exert
trait-mediated indirect effects (TMIEs). In this study, we show that the
habitat structure provided by invasive Pacific oysters (<i>Crassostrea gigas</i>)
can also indirectly affect parasitism in blue mussels (<i>Mytilus edulis</i>).</p>

<p> </p>

<p><u>Type of research, method & collection of
data:</u></p>

<p>We conducted a three-month field experiment, in
which uninfected mussels were positioned at the bottom and top of two
intertidal oyster reefs in the Wadden Sea.</p><br><p></p>
