To brood or not to brood: Are marine invertebrates that protect their offspring more resilient to ocean acidification?

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2015
Anthropogenic atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is being absorbed by seawater resulting in increasingly acidic oceans, a process known as ocean acidification (OA).

Suppression of cell-spreading and phagocytic activity on nano-pillared surface: in vitro experiment using hemocytes of the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Nano-scale nipple array on the body surface has been described from various invertebrates including endoparasitic and mesoparasitic copepods, but the functions of the nipple array is not well understood.

Phenotypic evidence for local adaptation to heat stress in the marine snail Chlorostoma (formerly Tegula) funebralis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Southern California (USA) populations of the intertidal marine snail Chlorostoma (formerly Tegula) funebralis generally occupy warmer climates and are exposed to high air temperatures during low tides more often than northern California populations ...

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Gammarus sp. in Lowland Streams Analyzed Through Amino Acid Isotope Analysis

open access: yesInternational Review of Hydrobiology, EarlyView.
Amino Acid Isotope Analysis of Gammarus sp. at the river Boye catchment. ABSTRACT Understanding the trophic ecology and nutrient dynamics of freshwater invertebrates is crucial for evaluating the function and resilience of ecosystems. Although bulk stable isotope analysis is widely used to investigate food web structures, it lacks the resolution ...

Novel circular single-stranded DNA viruses identified in marine invertebrates reveal high sequence diversity and consistent predicted intrinsic disorder patterns within putative structural proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Viral metagenomics has recently revealed the ubiquitous and diverse nature of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses that encode a conserved replication initiator protein (Rep) in the marine environment.

Oxygen Consumption of the River Nerite Theodoxus fluviatilis in Different Salinities

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The river nerite Theodoxus fluviatilis (Linneaus, 1758) is an euryhaline osmoconformer found in freshwater (FW) and brackish water (BW) habitats across Europe and western Asia. In northern Germany, T. fluviatilis forms regional subgroups, the FW and the BW ecotypes. Members of these ecotypes differ in shell morphology and in shell size as well

Microbes as manipulators of egg size and developmental evolution

open access: yesmBio
Marine invertebrates mainly reproduce by energy-poor eggs that develop into feeding larvae or energy-rich eggs that develop into non-feeding larvae.
