Advancements in Characterizing Tenacibaculum Infections in Canada
Tenacibaculum is a genus of gram negative, marine, filamentous bacteria, associated with the presence of disease (tenacibaculosis) at aquaculture sites worldwide; however, infections induced by this genus are poorly characterized. Documents regarding the

Polinices Predation Patterns and Mercenaria Morphology Models
DeAngelis et al. (1985) have described a model of the evolutionary response of bivalve prey to size-selective naticid snail predation. The model analyzed the allocation of bivalve energy among reproduction, overall growth in size, and supplementary ...

The shells of long-lived bivalves record environmental variability in their geochemical signatures and are thus used extensively in marine high-resolution paleoclimate studies.

On the Kimmeridgian (Jurassic) succession of the Normandy coast, northern France [PDF]
Kimmeridgian rocks crop out on the Normandy coast north and south of the Seine Estuary at Le Havre in a series of small foreshore and cliff exposures separated by beach deposits and landslips.

Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Interactions between shorebirds and benthic invertebrates at Culbin Sands lagoon, NE Scotland: effects of avian predation on their prey community density and structure [PDF]
In the North Sea, during autumn-winter, intertidal flats often receive a massive influx of migratory shorebirds (wildfowl, waders and seabirds), which utilise the high prey densities that are available.

Consumer diversity drives stronger predation in tropical marine communities
Biotic interactions are predicted to be stronger in the tropics compared to higher latitudes, contributing to observed patterns of global biodiversity. While increased consumer diversity and more complex food webs are expected in tropical communities, the trophic dynamics underlying strong regional effects of predation are not well understood.

This study provides a method for the determination of lipase activity in bivalves. Using this method, lipase activities were studied in extracts of digestive gland of Argopecten purpuratus fed a diet that mimics the food available in natural ecosystems

Invasive freshwater bivalves harm native species, ecosystems and biodiversity, and incur economic costs. The enemy release hypothesis posits that invasive species are released from enemies during the invasion process, giving them a competitive advantage in the new environment.

Community structure of bivalve on seagrass ecosystems in the West Bali National Park area
The waters of Taman Nasional Bali Barat are one of the waters that have abundant diversity of marine ecosystems. Seagrass is an ecosystem that has many benefits for organisms that live in it, one of which is bivalves.
