The effects of single versus successive warm summers on an intertidal community

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
To accurately predict how organisms and ecological communities will respond to future conditions caused by climate change, we must consider the temporal dynamics of environmental stressors, including the effects of repeated exposures to stress. We performed a two‐year passive thermal manipulation in coastal British Columbia, Canada to determine how ...

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

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

open access: yesAquaculture 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.

Exploring the Impact of Polystyrene Microplastic Beads on Male Gonads of the Marine Mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastic, with its remarkable versatility and numerous applications, has greatly benefited humanity. However, its extreme resistance to natural degradation means it persists in the environment for long periods, causing global environmental problems.

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

open access: yesCiencias 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 ...

The role of ras gene in the development of haemic neoplasia in Mytilus trossulus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Disseminated neoplasia has been reported in mussels (Mytilus spp) from numerous locations worldwide. This condition is progressive and fatal and the aetiology is unknown.

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

open access: yesEnvironmental 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 ...

Geology of the Northern Simbruini Mts. (Abruzzo – Italy) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper presents the results of a geological mapping project across the northern portion of the Simbruini Mts. (Latium-Abruzzi Domain – Central Apennines), where a thick Cretaceous and Miocene carbonate succession, followed by a thick upper Miocene ...

Micronuclei and Other Nuclear Abnormalities in Patella Limpet as Biomarkers of Cytogenotoxicity in Recreational Port Waters

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past decades, the growth in human population and economic activities has led to an increase in maritime traffic. This rise puts additional pressure on marine environments, vessel fuel spills being considered to have a major impact on the ecosystem.

Biological responses in oysters contaminated by hydrocarbons: Focus on the biotransformation system

open access: yesSouth Sustainability
Hasta la actualidad, 5,8 millones de toneladas de petróleo han sido derramados en los océanos, y son los hidrocarburos aromáticos policíclicos (HAP) los compuestos que causan mayor impacto negativo en estos ecosistemas.
