Antifungal peptides in marine invertebrates [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2010 A majority of terrestrial and marine organisms use to fend off a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi by employing “antimicrobial peptides (AMPs)” that are ribosomally synthesized from proteinogenic amino acids.

Scaling laws for non-Euclidean plates and the $W^{2,2}$ isometric immersions of Riemannian metrics [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 This paper concerns the elastic structures which exhibit non-zero strain at free equilibria. Many growing tissues (leaves, flowers or marine invertebrates) attain complicated configurations during their free growth. Our study departs from the 3d incompatible elasticity theory, conjectured to explain the mechanism for the spontaneous formation of non ...

Exploring the isotopic niche: isotopic variance, physiological incorporation, and the temporal dynamics of foraging [PDF]
, 2015 Consumer foraging behaviors are dynamic, changing in response to prey availability, seasonality, competition, and even the consumer's physiological state. The isotopic composition of a consumer is a product of these factors as well as the isotopic 'landscape' of its prey, i.e. the isotopic mixing space.

ESTROGENS IN MARINE INVERTEBRATES
The Biological Bulletin, 1957 1. An enzymatic method of assay for estrogens suitable for use with crude tissue extracts is described.2. Of a variety of marine invertebrates examined, only the ovaries of the mollusc, Mactra (Spisula) solidissima, contained appreciable amounts of estrogenic material.

Morphogenesis: a focus on marine invertebrates [PDF]
Marine Life Science & Technology, 2019 AbstractMorphogenesis is a process describing how the shapes of living tissues and bodies are created during development. Living and fossil organisms exhibit enormously diverse tissue architecture and body forms, although the functions of organs are evolutionally conserved.

Economic profile of Florida's marine life industry [PDF]
, 2001 The marine life industry in Florida is defined as the harvest of live marine specimens (fish and invertebrate species including plants, live rock and sand, and small “critters”) for commercial use, primarily aquariums.

Climate Change and invasibility of the Antarctic benthos [PDF]
, 2007 Benthic communities living in shallow-shelf habitats in Antarctica (<100-m depth) are archaic in their structure and function. Modern predators, including fast-moving, durophagous (skeleton-crushing) bony fish, sharks, and crabs, are rare or absent ...
