Complete mitochondrial genome of the deep-water epibiotic stalked barnacle, Glyptelasma annandalei (Cirripedia, Lepadiformes, Poecilasmatidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Non-monophyletic Poecilasmatids are deep-water epibiotic barnacles and are classified as five-capitular-plate members of the Lepadiformes. Here, we offer the first characterization of the mitogenome of a Poecilasmatid barnacle (Glyptelasma annandalei ...

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Antifouling activities of proteinase K and α-amylase enzymes: Laboratory bioassays and in silico analysis

open access: yesHeliyon
The application of enzymes as antifoulants is one of the environment-friendly strategies in biofouling management. In this study, antifouling activities of commercially available proteinase K and α-amylase enzymes were evaluated using barnacle larva and ...

Using a live‐streaming webcam to assess the behavioural responses of waterbirds to changes in the density of swans Cygnus spp.

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife research has benefitted from the development of new methods that allow data to be collected remotely, with less disturbance to focal animals. The proliferation of livestreaming webcams, for example, those used by nature reserves for public engagement purposes, have offered new possibilities for the study of wildlife behaviour.

Spatial Variation in Thermal Stress Experienced by Barnacles on Rocky Shores: The Interplay Between Geographic Variation, Tidal Cycles and Microhabitat Temperatures

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Thermal stress is an important driver of species’ distribution in the intertidal zone and, with the forecasted increasing frequency of extreme high temperatures associated with climate change, is likely to play an even greater role in the future.

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Low breeding propensity in a declining Arctic‐breeding swan revealed by telemetry data

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Many migratory bird populations are declining in the face of habitat degradation and climate change, making it important to identify which stages of their annual cycle are most affected in order to guide conservation measures. The Bewick's Swan Cygnus columbianus bewickii, an Arctic‐breeding waterfowl species, has suffered a dramatic population decline

TWO IN ONE: REPORT OF TWO EPIBIONTS GROUPS ON THE Callinectes bocourti A. MILNE-EDWARDS, 1879 (DECAPODA: PORTUNIDAE) FROM THE AMAZON PROVINCE

open access: yesEnvironmental Smoke, 2023
Case studies reporting crustaceans acting as basibionts for a wide range of encrusting invertebrates are widely observed in the literature. For swimming crabs of the genus Callinectes, these commensal interactions are commonly observed in estuaries and ...
