Graman Revisited Once Again: A Reanalysis of the Late Holocene Legacy Faunal Assemblage From GB4 Rockshelter, New South Wales

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The archaeological site Graman B4 provided one of the first records of substantial dietary change in ancient Australian Aboriginal society. Initial examination of the faunal remains from this site suggested that Late Holocene hunters reduced their focus on high‐ranked kangaroos to increasingly rely on arboreal possums; and that these ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Mactra chinensis (Bivalvia: Macridae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
The structure and composition of the mitogenome of a bivalve mollusk, denoted as Mactra sp. (MT780813), has been obtained. The genome has a variable organization: it includes 12 protein-coding genes, 28 tRNAs, and two rRNA genes.

Impact of the species ratio in polyculture on growth and weight of bivalve mollusks in the Tauiskaya Guba Bay, Okhotsk Sea

open access: yesИзвестия ТИНРО, 2021
Linear growth and weight of bivalve mollusks cultivated in polyculture are considered. Cages with three mollusk species, as blue mussel, long-necked clam (mya), and macoma, were hanged at the depth of 1.0–1.5 m in the Tauiskaya Guba Bay, Okhotsk Sea ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Mollusk communities differ between microenvironments within a shallow lake in the Pampean Region, Argentina

open access: yesEcología Austral, 2018
The aim of this study is to compare the faunistic mollusk composition at a local scale, in different sites within a shallow lake, and to evaluate the relation between abundance and richness of mollusks and the environmental variables.

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

What determines sclerobiont colonization on marine mollusk shells?

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Empty mollusk shells may act as colonization surfaces for sclerobionts depending on the physical, chemical, and biological attributes of the shells. However, the main factors that can affect the establishment of an organism on hard substrates and the ...

Biogeography of intertidal invertebrates is influenced by latitude along the west coast of Australia

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Along the west coast of Australia, intertidal rock platforms support high invertebrate diversities that provide vital ecosystem services, yet patterns in diversity are not well understood. Here, we document and examine the invertebrate assemblages on intertidal rock platforms in Western Australia and delineate ecoregions according to assemblage ...
