Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

The genome sequence of the light-bulb sea squirt, Clavelina lepadiformis (Müller, 1776) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2023
We present a genome assembly from an individual Clavelina lepadiformis (the light-bulb sea squirt; Chordata; Ascidiacea; Aplousobranchia; Clavelinidae). The genome sequence is 210.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 9 chromosomal

From the sea to DNA barcode: Optimized preservation method for gelatinous zooplankton integrative taxonomy

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Assigning taxonomic identity and thus assessing taxonomic diversity in gelatinous zooplankton is challenging due to their fragility and difficult preservation. Formalin fixation compromises DNA integrity, while flash‐freezing, ethanol, and acetone preservation affect morphological features. In this study, we developed a methodological protocol

Universal and Lineage‐Specific Patterns in the Distribution of ECOD Domain Homology Groups Across Superkingdoms

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proteins are built from modular domains that serve as fundamental units of structure and evolution. While individual domains have been extensively cataloged, their collective distribution across the lineages of life has remained poorly resolved.

Rotenone Induces Morphological Damage and Reduction in Catecholamine Levels in the Central Nervous System of the Ascidian Styela plicata

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ascidians are invertebrates that occupy a key phylogenetic position as a sister group of the vertebrates. The organization of their central nervous system (CNS), with cortex and medulla, indicates a plesiomorphic character of the gray and white matter of vertebrates, making this group of animals useful for studies of neurodegenerative events ...

Same Same, but Different: A Glossary of Carcino‐Entomology as a Basis for an Improved Communication and for a Modern View of Carcinology Encompassing Entomology

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One core aspect of science is communication, both among researchers as well as with the public. For successful communication, it is crucial that the terminology used is clear to avoid misunderstandings. Especially when researchers working on different groups of organisms communicate, they often use different terms for similar morphological ...

Characterization of dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate profiles during brain regeneration in Styela plicata

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Adult ascidians are capable of regenerating their entire brains following injury, and glycosaminoglycans have been shown to either promote or inhibit neuritogenesis. In this study, dermatan 2,6‐disulfate (D2,6S) was identified as the predominant complex carbohydrate in the ascidian brain.
