Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes During Larval Development of Rapana venosa by Digital Gene Expression Profiling

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
During the life cycle of shellfish, larval development, especially metamorphosis, has a vital influence on the dynamics, distribution, and recruitment of natural populations, as well as seed breeding.

Examining the Impact of Derelict Pots on Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) Catch and Harvest Within a Recreational Fishery

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Derelict fishing gear can negatively affect marine ecosystems through mortality in coastal environments. This study explored the impact of derelict and active crab pots on recreational blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) catch rates and landings in a Mid‐Atlantic estuary by deploying experimental pots in four habitat strata within three sections ...

Snail Inventories for Short‐Term Impacts: Methodological Differences and Their Underlying Causes [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigates the effects of including fresh empty shells in terrestrial gastropod community surveys and evaluates the resulting bias by combining field data, laboratory experiments and population modelling. We found that incorporating fresh empty shells can mask short‐term changes in community composition and introduce species‐specific ...

Combining eDNA metabarcoding and stable isotope analysis advances diet studies in a colonial, non‐regurgitating seabird

Ibis, EarlyView.
Understanding seabird diet is fundamental to assessing trophic interactions and predicting responses to environmental change. However, seabird diet studies are often constrained by low taxonomic resolution, invasive sampling methods or reliance on opportunistically collected samples, leaving the diet of important populations such as Common Guillemots ...

Vicariance and dispersal in the Aegean Archipelago: Molecular phylogeography reveals the origin and divergence times of Hydropsyche (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae) species

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Divergence times of Greek Hydropsyche lineages fall mostly within the Pliocene‐Pleistocene, rejecting ancient vicariance. Widespread species show shallow divergences consistent with dispersal, while island endemics exhibit deeper isolation patterns supporting a mixed vicariance‐dispersal model.

Effects of ocean acidification on fatty acid composition in the Antarctic snail Neobuccinum eatoni

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionOcean acidification (OA), resulting from the absorption of increasing atmospheric CO2 by the oceans, represents a major threat to marine organisms.

Understanding microRNA Regulation Involved in the Metamorphosis of the Veined Rapa Whelk (Rapana venosa)

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017
The veined rapa whelk (Rapana venosa) is widely consumed in China. Nevertheless, it preys on oceanic bivalves, thereby reducing this resource worldwide.

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

High-Resolution Integrative Delimitation of Intertidal Limpets via Multi-Locus Barcodes and SEM Morphology

Diversity
Limpets are marine gastropod molluscs well adapted to intertidal rocky environments, yet their taxonomic resolution remains challenging due to extensive morphological convergence and the presence of cryptic species.
