TORC1 Regulates Thermotolerance via Modulating Metabolic Rate and Antioxidant Capacity in Scallop Argopecten irradians irradians [PDF]
Target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) is a key regulator of metabolism in eukaryotes across multiple pathways. Although TORC1 has been extensively studied in vertebrates and some invertebrates, research on this complex in scallops is limited.

SNP identification by transcriptome sequencing and candidate gene-based association analysis for heat tolerance in the bay scallop Argopecten irradians. [PDF]
The northern bay scallop Argopecten irradians irradians (Lamarck) and the southern bay scallop Argopecten irradians concentricus (Say) were introduced into China in the 1980s and 1990s, and are now major aquaculture molluscs in China. Here, we report the

The polymorphism in the promoter of HSP70 gene is associated with heat tolerance of two congener endemic bay scallops (Argopecten irradians irradians and A. i. concentricus). [PDF]
The heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is one kind of molecular chaperones, which plays a key role in protein metabolism under normal and stress conditions.In the present study, the mRNA expressions of HSP70 under normal physiological condition and after ...

Systematic evaluation of scallop (Argopecten irradians) SoxH reveals its crucial role in spermiogenesis with limited evidence for sex determination [PDF]
The transcription factor Sox30 (SoxH), a conserved regulator of vertebrate spermatogenesis, remains poorly characterized in mollusks, despite emerging evidence of its potential role in sex regulation.

Extensive Fouling of Eelgrass (<i>Zostera marina</i> L.) Reproductive Shoots by Invasive Tunicates-A Potential Threat to Meadow Reproductive Output? [PDF]
Here, we document through field observations and photographs, the extensive fouling of seed‐bearing Z. marina reproductive shoots by invasive tunicates in a Cape Cod meadow during late spring/early summer 2025. Such fouling may block seed release and/or inhibit dispersal which may reduce meadow reproductive success.
