CardiacDP: An R package for rapid automated cardiac data processing, integrating autocorrelation, a genetic algorithm, and a tracking index

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Heart rate is a popular proxy of physiological responses, but the highly complex and variable cardiac data obtained from organisms such as marine invertebrates pose a major challenge to efficient and accurate data processing. To address this, we developed a novel, integrative algorithm for rapid and automated cardiac data processing.

Analysis of microbial communities on the coloured mantle surface of three common bivalves

Aquaculture Reports
As economically significant species, bivalves maintain intimate contact with external microorganisms during respiration and filter feeding, rendering them prime candidates for investigating microbial communities.

Heavy metals in the clam Tivela mactroides Born, 1778 (Bivalvia: Veneridae) from coastal localities with different degrees of contamination in Venezuela

Ciencias Marinas, 2004
We compared heavy metal levels (manganese, iron, zinc, cadmium, copper, chromium, and lead) in tissues and shells of juveniles (13±2.2 mm), medium-size organisms with mature gonads (25±4.1mm), and adults (35±1.2 mm) of the clam Tivela mactroides from ...

Periostracal mineralization in the gastrochaenid bivalve Spengleria

We investigated the spikes on the outer shell surface of the endolithic gastrochaenid bivalve genus Spengleria with a view to understand the mechanism by which they form and evaluate their homology with spikes in other heterodont and palaeoheterodont ...

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.

Continental accumulation of fads2 copy numbers allows sticklebacks to thrive across a diversity of nutritional landscapes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Nutrients, including vital organic compounds, vary in availability across ecosystems, with the potential to act as a source of selection for traits that increase nutrient acquisition and biosynthesis. Compared to freshwaters, marine ecosystems are richer in the omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n‐3 LC‐PUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA ...

Nanomaterials' Multigenerational Effects by Single and Joint Exposure in Non‐mammalian Models

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanotoxicology has mainly focused on single‐generation studies, leaving multigenerational toxicity underexplored. Having animal welfare recently gained importance, we aimed to provide the state‐of‐the‐art of knowledge about multigenerational effects in non‐mammalian models in the case of nanomaterials (NM) single and joint exposure to other ...
