Contaminant trends in US National Estuarine Research Reserves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Inputs of toxic chemicals provide one of the major types of anthropogenic stress threatening our Nation's coastal and estuarine waters. To assess this threat, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA’s) National Status and Trends (NS&T)

Reliable Inference of Phylogenomic Relationship via Assembly‐Based Strategy Accommodating Raw Reads and Proteins

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Phylogenomics is a transformative approach in systematics, conservation biology, and biomedical research, enabling the inference of evolutionary relationships by leveraging hundreds to thousands of genes from genomic or transcriptomic data. However, acquiring high‐quality genomes and transcriptomes necessitates samples with intact DNA and RNA,

Experimental Quantification of Nutrient Bioextracti on Potential of Oysters in Estuarine Waters of New Hampshire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This project was a short-term field experiment conducted in summer 2010 and designed to provide preliminary data on the bioextraction (removal) of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) for two different size classes (both \u3c76mm shell height) of eastern oysters (

Where We Go From Here: Harnessing Queer Perspectives to Advance Practice in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Science and society continuously shape one another; this relationship determines what science is funded, which inquiries are pursued, and whose voices are included in the production and dissemination of knowledge. Here, we draw on our queer lived experiences to outline six principles to confront existing biases and produce better science: (1) recognize

Effect of ploidy on salinity and temperature tolerance in early life stages of the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica)

open access: yesAquaculture Reports, 2023
The U.S. Gulf of Mexico contains the largest remaining wild oyster fishery in the world, but populations have declined in recent decades. A growing interest in off-bottom aquaculture that relies on triploid eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) has ...

Unusual conservation of mitochondrial gene order in Crassostrea oysters: evidence for recent speciation in Asia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Oysters are morphologically plastic and hence difficult subjects for taxonomic and evolutionary studies. It is long been suspected, based on the extraordinary species diversity observed, that Asia Pacific is the epicenter of oyster

Comparative Genomics of Pinna rudis and Pinna nobilis Reveals Conserved and Divergent Features of the Bivalve Defensome

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We present the first high‐quality annotated genome of Pinna rudis and an updated genome assembly for Pinna nobilis, two Mediterranean fan mussel species differentially affected by mass mortality events. Comparative genomic analyses of gene sets associated with the “defensome” show that these genes are largely functionally conserved between the two ...

δ15N Values in Crassostrea virginica Shells Provides Early Direct Evidence for Nitrogen Loading to Chesapeake Bay

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Crassostrea virginica is one of the most common estuarine bivalves in the United States’ east coast and is frequently found in archaeological sites and sub-fossil deposits. Although there have been several sclerochronological studies on stable carbon and

California shellfish importation and planting report 1973-1974 season [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
The amount of shellfish imported and planted in State waters is enumerated by species and compared with the previous season. Arrangements were made with the Washington State Department of Fisheries to inspect the bulk of the seed oysters originating in ...
