Mollusc N-glycosylation: Structures, Functions and Perspectives

Biomolecules, 2021
Molluscs display a sophisticated N-glycan pattern on their proteins, which is, in terms of involved structural features, even more diverse than that of vertebrates. This review summarises the current knowledge of mollusc N-glycan structures, with a focus

First Report of Haplosporidium edule Infection in the Olive-Green Cockle (Cerastoderma glaucum) from the Northern Adriatic Sea: Expanding Host Range and Geographic Distribution [PDF]

Pathogens
Haplosporidium edule is a haplosporidian parasite originally described in the common edible cockle (Cerastoderma edule) along the European Atlantic coast. In this study, we report the first detection of H.

Predicting the Response of Molluscs to the Impact of Ocean Acidification

Biology, 2013
Elevations in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) are anticipated to acidify oceans because of fundamental changes in ocean chemistry created by CO2 absorption from the atmosphere.

Using self–organizing maps and machine learning models to assess mollusc community structure in relation to physicochemical variables in a West Africa river–estuary system

Ecological Indicators, 2021
The poor understanding of changes in mollusc ecology along rivers, especially in West Africa, hampers the implementation of management measures. We used a self–organizing map, indicator species analysis, linear discriminant analysis and a random forest ...

Using molluscs to assess ecological quality status of soft-bottom habitats along the Atlantic coastline of the United States

Ecological Indicators, 2021
AMBI and M-AMBI are widely used biotic indices for assessing the ecological quality status of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in estuarine and coastal soft-bottom habitats.

Extreme cold events reduce the stability of mangrove soil mollusc community biomass in the context of climate impact

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
The frequency and intensity of climate extreme events are expected to increase with global warming in the future. Climate extreme events, such as an extreme cold event (ECE) will continue to influence the stability of soil fauna community biomass, since ...

Malakofauna navrhované NPR Obírka-Kopánky a okolí [PDF]

Malacologica Bohemoslovaca, 2017
Altogether, 77 mollusc species were recorded in the proposed Obírka-Kopánky National Nature Reserve (North Moravia, Czech Republic) during 2010–2016. Mollusc species diversity in forest habitats was equal to that reported from the study area 85 years ago.

Pomacea canaliculata Ampullar Proteome: A Nematode-Based Bio-Pesticide Induces Changes in Metabolic and Stress-Related Pathways

Biology, 2021
Pomacea canaliculata is a freshwater gastropod known for being both a highly invasive species and one of the possible intermediate hosts of the mammalian parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis.
