Presence of eight distinct homeobox-containing genes in cnidarians [PDF]
, 1993 Using the polymerase chain reaction, we identified four different homeobox-containing genes in Hydra magnipapillata. Three of them, cnox1-Hm, cnox2-Hm and cnox4-Hm, were equivalent to homeobox genes that had already been identified in other species of ...

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 ...
