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 ...

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

First De Novo Transcriptome of the Copepod Rhincalanus gigas from Antarctic Waters
Biology, 2020 Antarctic waters are the largest almost untapped diversified resource of our planet. Molecular resources for Antarctic organisms are very limited and mostly represented by sequences used for species genotyping.

Effects of microplastics on marine copepods
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 Microplastic contamination has been considered as a global environmental problem in marine ecosystem. Due to small size (< 5 mm) in overlapping with that of microalgae, microplastics can easily be ingested by a wide range of marine copepods both in the laboratory and in situ.

Oikos, EarlyView.Elucidating the determinants of parasite infection levels of individuals within a population is a basic but important step for understanding the roles of parasites in natural systems. Among intraspecific studies on vertebrate hosts and metazoan parasites, host body size (length/mass) is probably the most frequently reported factor determining parasite ...

Warming modifies trophic impacts of invading shrimp with impact varying among primary producers
Oikos, EarlyView.Environmental change drivers, such as climate change and species invasions, can disrupt biological networks and weaken ecosystem stability. Acting together, these drivers may interact and alter the effects on the ecosystem. However, few studies have examined the interactive effects of climate change and species invasions, particularly in aquatic ...

Car Tire Crumb Rubber: Does Leaching Produce a Toxic Chemical Cocktail in Coastal Marine Systems?
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020 Crumb rubber granulate (CRG) produced from end of life tires (ELTs) is commonly applied to synthetic turf pitches (STPs), playgrounds, safety surfaces and walkways. In addition to fillers, stabilizers, cross-linking agents and secondary components (e.g.,
