Reconstructing Early Human Subsistence in Near Oceania: New Insights From Matenkupkum and Matenbek
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The colonization of New Ireland ~44–40,000 years ago represents the earliest evidence of human occupation in Near Oceania. Yet, the precise impacts of climatic changes on subsistence strategies during the Late Pleistocene, Last Glacial Maximum, and Holocene remain poorly understood.

What determines sclerobiont colonization on marine mollusk shells?
PLoS 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 ...

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens
Oikos, EarlyView.Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

First Report on the Occurrence of Tetrodotoxins in Bivalve Mollusks in The Netherlands [PDF]
Toxins, 2018 Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is traditionally associated with seafood from tropical regions, but recently TTX was detected in bivalve mollusks in more temperate European waters. In The Netherlands it was therefore decided to monitor TTX in shellfish harvested from Dutch production areas.

Optimal designs of mollusk shells from bivalves to snails [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractBivalve, ammonite and snail shells are described by a small number of geometrical parameters. Raup noted that the vast majority of theoretically possible shell forms do not occur in nature. The constraint factors that regulate the biased distribution of natural form have long since been an open problem in evolution.
