Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence

Morphological response of the saltmarsh habitats of the Guadiana estuary due to flow regulation and sea-level rise [PDF]

, 2016
In the context of rapid sea-level rise in the 21st century, the reduction of fluvial sediment supply due to the regulation of river discharge represents a major challenge for the management of estuarine ecosystems.

Integrated Species Distribution Model Using Historical Data Shows Decline in a Common Semi‐Aquatic Mammal

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
A diagram of the integrated species distribution model of river otter intensity of use. Three types of data (latrine detections, roadkill detections, and detection/nondetection surveys) are linked by different observation processes to the same underlying intensity of use.

The functional roles of herbivores in the rocky intertidal systems in Chile: A review of food preferences and consumptive effects Los roles funcionales de los herbívoros en sistemas intermareales rocosos en Chile: Una revisión de las preferencias alimenticias y efectos de consumo

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2011
This paper reviews recent knowledge about the functional roles that herbivores have in intertidal communities in Chile. Specifically, I review field and laboratory studies dealing with the food preferences of herbivores, the responses of algae to ...

Weaponry Investment in the Socially Monogamous Snapping Shrimp Alpheus brasileiro (Decapoda: Alpheidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Weapons are morphological structures used by animals in various contexts, especially in intra‐specific contests and visual displays. In snapping shrimps of the genus Alpheus, particularly the monogamous species Alpheus brasileiro, both sexes bear enlarged chelipeds, potentially conferring advantages in mate competition or territorial defence ...

Extremely low biodiversity Arctic intertidal habitats as sentinels for environmental change

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Arctic is undergoing dramatic changes, including an unprecedented decline in sea ice. Previous studies have shown the severe structuring impact of sea ice scour upon polar intertidal communities.

First Insights on Photoreceptor Organ Ultrastructure in Marine Chaetonotida (Gastrotricha): Species of Xenotrichula and Draculiciteria (Xenotrichulidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine gastrotrichs inhabit sediments with limited available light, yet evidence suggests that photoreceptor organs are present throughout the phylum Gastrotricha. Here, we confirm this proposition with ultrastructural descriptions of photoreceptive organs in two species of Xenotrichulidae (Order Chaetonotida) that lack pigmented ocelli ...
