Molecular identification, phylogeny and geographic distribution of Brazilian mangrove oysters (Crassostrea) [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2010 Oysters (Ostreidae) manifest a high degree of phenotypic plasticity, whereby morphology is of limited value for species identification and taxonomy. By using molecular data, the aim was to genetically characterize the species of Crassostrea occurring ...

Invertebrates at the Land-Sea Interface in a Climate Change World: Heatwaves, Floods, Fire and Ice. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolDiverse communities of coastal marine invertebrates living on rocky shores, mudflats, mangroves and saltmarsh occur at the interface between marine and terrestrial environments, where they are vulnerable to the combined impacts of extreme climatic events (ECEs) such as marine and atmospheric heatwaves, fire, flooding, hyposalinity and changes in ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short-term tactics and long-term impacts. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
