Iceberg Scour and Shell Damage in the Antarctic Bivalve Laternula elliptica [PDF]
We document differences in shell damage and shell thickness in a bivalve mollusc (Laternula elliptica) from seven sites around Antarctica with differing exposures to ice movement. These range from 60% of the sea bed impacted by ice per year (Hangar Cove,

Identification of Perna viridis based on mitochondrial COI sequence
The Asian green mussel (Perna viridis), a bivalve species of high economic importance, is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region. Here, we aimed to investigate the P. viridis species from Pakistan, a biogeographic area where nearly no P.

Spatially structured genetic variation in a broadcast spawning bivalve: quantitative vs. molecular traits [PDF]
Understanding the origin, maintenance and significance of phenotypic variation is one of the central issues in evolutionary biology. An ongoing discussion focuses on the relative roles of isolation and selection as being at the heart of genetically based

Novel Ca 2+ -independent carbohydrate recognition of the C-type lectins, SPL-1 and SPL-2, from the bivalve Saxidomus purpuratus [PDF]
Novel Ca 2+ -independent C-type lectins, SPL-1 and SPL-2, were purified from the bivalve Saxidomus purpuratus. They are composed of dimers with either identical (SPL-2 composed of two B-chains) or distinct (SPL-1 composed of A- and B-chains) polypeptide ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
