Life‐stage‐dependent effects of multiple flood‐associated stressors on a coastal foundational species

Ecosphere, 2022
Global changes in precipitation patterns have increased the frequency and duration of flooding events. Freshwater inflows into estuaries reduce salinity levels and increase nutrient inputs, which can lead to eutrophication and impaired water quality ...

Assessment of Infection Prevalence and Intensity of Disease-Causing Parasitic Protozoans Perkinsus marinus and Haplosporidium nelsoni in Georgia Oysters

Microorganisms, 2023
Eastern oysters, Crassostrea virginica, are ecologically and economically important coastal species which provide a commercially valuable food product while also improving water quality through filtration, protecting shorelines, and providing habitat ...

Interaction of Vibrio vulnificus and the Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea virginica

Journal of Food Protection, 1994
The estuarine bacterium, Vibrio vulnificus , is a human pathogen associated with the consumption of raw oysters. To date, no effective means exists for the elimination of this health hazard in oysters meant for raw consumption. The purpose of this study was to investígate the interaction between V. vulnificus and the eastern oyster.

Wild and Aquaculture Populations of the Eastern Oyster Compared Using Microsatellites [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 2006
Five new microsatellite markers were developed for the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica), and allelic variability was compared between a wild Chesapeake Bay population (James River) and a hatchery strain (DEBY). All loci amplified readily and demonstrated allelic variability with the number of alleles ranging from 16 to 36 in the wild population ...

Macau as Method: Recombinant Urbanism in Post‐Socialist China

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In ‘Asia as Method’, Chen Kuan‐Hsing argues for the value of an indigenous inter‐Asian approach to analysing the effects of European imperialism on the countries and citizens of Asia. This article mobilises both Chen's inter‐Asian referencing strategy and the city‐state of Macau to explore Macau's role in China's engagements with global ...

The curious case of eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica stock status in Apalachicola Bay, Florida

Ecology and Society, 2015
The Apalachicola Bay, Florida, eastern oyster ( Crassostrea virginica ) industry has annually produced about 10% of the U.S. oyster harvest. Today’s simple individual-operator, hand-tonging, small-vessel fishery is remarkably similar to the one that ...

Proteomic characterization of mucosal secretions in the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica [PDF]

Journal of Proteomics, 2016
The soft body surface of marine invertebrates is covered by a layer of mucus, a slippery gel secreted by mucocytes lining epithelia. The functions of this gel are diverse including locomotion, cleansing, food particles processing and defense against physicochemical injuries and infectious agents.

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

A seasonal study on the microbiomes of Diploid vs. Triploid eastern oysters and their denitrification potential

iScience
Summary: Oyster reefs are hotspots of denitrification mediated removal of dissolved nitrogen (N), however, information on their denitrifier microbiota is scarce.

Isolation by Distance in the Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea virginica, in Chesapeake Bay [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 2006
Intensive efforts are underway to restore depleted stocks of Crassostrea virginica in Chesapeake Bay. However, the extent of gene flow among local populations, an important force mediating the success of these endeavors, is poorly understood. Spatial and temporal population structures were examined in C.
