Gastropod communities of the reservoirs and the rivers of the Ciechanowska Upland = Сообщества Gastropodа в водохранилишах и реках Цехановского Нагорья [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The aims of research were: analysis of the number of species, density, domination, constancy and commonness of the gastropod communities in the water environments of the Ciechanowska Upland (northeastern part of Po-land), analysis of biodiversity of the ...

Biogeography of intertidal invertebrates is influenced by latitude along the west coast of Australia

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Along the west coast of Australia, intertidal rock platforms support high invertebrate diversities that provide vital ecosystem services, yet patterns in diversity are not well understood. Here, we document and examine the invertebrate assemblages on intertidal rock platforms in Western Australia and delineate ecoregions according to assemblage ...

A Surprise Occurrence in Acoustic Bottom Backscatter Measurements Conducted in the Eastern Bering Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Acoustic backscatter measurements at different frequencies were made in the eastern Bering Sea in August 2006 from the NOAA Ship Fairweather. The measurements consisted of approximately 2,250 nm of trackline acoustic backscatter data from a 100 kHz RESON

CardiacDP: An R package for rapid automated cardiac data processing, integrating autocorrelation, a genetic algorithm, and a tracking index

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Heart rate is a popular proxy of physiological responses, but the highly complex and variable cardiac data obtained from organisms such as marine invertebrates pose a major challenge to efficient and accurate data processing. To address this, we developed a novel, integrative algorithm for rapid and automated cardiac data processing.

Modulation of swimming in the gastropod Melibe leonina by nitric oxide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous intercellular messenger produced by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. It has been implicated as a neuromodulator in several groups of animals, including gastropods, crustaceans and mammals.

Reconstructing Early Human Subsistence in Near Oceania: New Insights From Matenkupkum and Matenbek

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The colonization of New Ireland ~44–40,000 years ago represents the earliest evidence of human occupation in Near Oceania. Yet, the precise impacts of climatic changes on subsistence strategies during the Late Pleistocene, Last Glacial Maximum, and Holocene remain poorly understood.

Morphological Differentiation Among Three Mitochondrial Lineages of Hydrobioides nassa Theobald, 1865 (Gastropoda: Bithyniidae) from Thailand

open access: yesBiology
The identification of species complexes in freshwater snails remains challenging due to limited diagnostic morphological characters and incomplete taxonomic knowledge in many taxa. Within the family Bithyniidae, species have traditionally been classified

High bioaccumulation of cadmium and other metals in Patagonian edible gastropods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
High concentrations of metals are accumulated by edible marine resources, affecting human health. Marine gastropods have been commercially captured and consumed in Argentina for decades without official regulations or studies to guarantee their safety ...

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

Inter‐Annual Variation in Alpha and Beta Diversity of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Communities in Agricultural Ditches

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ditches are essential elements of the agricultural landscape because of their role as habitat or refuge for aquatic species, especially in homogenized and intensively cultivated areas. However, data on the biodiversity associated with agricultural ditches, and its variation over time, are underrepresented in ecological research.
