When more mangroves mean fewer molluscs: Biodiversity relationships mediated by salinity in tropical coastal wetlands of Hainan Island, China

Global Ecology and Conservation
Aim: Although positive aboveground-belowground biodiversity linkages are well-established, these relationships are context-dependent in natural communities, particularly in highly dynamic ecotones like mangrove ecosystems where plant-animal interactions ...

Comparative analysis of blood protein fractions in two mediterranean farmed fish: Dicentrarchus labrax and Sparus aurata

BMC Veterinary Research
Total protein levels in fish are widely used in health and welfare studies, providing a simple and accessible measure. However, the multifaceted role of blood proteins makes it sometimes challenging to link total protein content to specific health issues,

The evolution of mollusc shells [PDF]

WIREs Developmental Biology, 2018
Molluscan shells are externally fabricated by specialized epithelial cells on the dorsal mantle. Although a conserved set of regulatory genes appears to underlie specification of mantle progenitor cells, the genes that contribute to the formation of the mature shell are incredibly diverse.

The Complement of Projection Neurons Activated Determines the Type of Feeding Motor Program in Aplysia

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
Multiple projection neurons are often activated to initiate behavior. A question that then arises is, what is the unique functional role of each neuron activated? We address this issue in the feeding system of Aplysia.
