Predictive biophysical models of bivalve larvae dispersal in Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
In Scotland, bivalves are widely distributed. However, their larvae dispersion is still largely unknown and difficult to assess in situ. And, while Mytilus spp.

Transcriptional Profiling of Populations in the Clam Ruditapes decussatus Suggests Genetically Determined Differentiation in Gene Expression along Parallel Temperature Gradients and between Races of the Atlantic Ocean and West Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesFishes, 2023
Ongoing ocean warming due to climate change poses new challenges for marine life and its exploitation. We have used transcriptomics to find genetically based responses to increased temperature in natural populations of the marine clam Ruditapes ...

Predation preference of signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) on native and invasive bivalve species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Predatory, non-native fauna can influence biodiversity and trophic dynamics in invaded ecosystems. Signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) are a highly successful invader, which have altered freshwater benthic communities, including bivalve ...

Once-iconic Pismo clams persist in southern California at low intertidal population densities and with variable recruitment

open access: yesCalifornia Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2022
The Pismo clam (Tivela stultorum) has experienced substantial population decline in California over the past century, extinguishing most public participation in a once-iconic recreational fishery before the end of the 20th century.

Step in Time: Biomineralisation of Bivalve’s Shell

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Biomineralisation process which is the induction of the precipitation of a mineral by an organism, generates hard tissues such as bones, teeth, otoliths and shells. Biomineralisation rate is not constant over time.

THE MOLECULAR APPROACH REVEALS THE RELATIONSHIP AMONG VENUS CLAMS ( Meretrix spp.) COMMUNITY IN MALAYSIA

open access: yesBiotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology, 2022
Molecular study is important to detect variations and similarities among species from the same genus, in case if they do not encompass any morphological or physiological differences. The study was conducted to differentiate among species of Meretrix spp.

Effects of the harmful alga Margalefidinium (aka Cochlodinium) polykrikoides on clearance rates of the hard clam, Mercenaria mercenaria

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) such as those formed by the ichthyotoxic dinoflagellate, Margalefidinium (aka Cochlodinium) polykrikoides can have adverse effects on bivalves. While M.
