Sampling effort to characterize estuarine macroinfaunal communities in patchy habitats
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Estuarine benthic macroinfauna have aggregated, patchy distributions, making accurate community measurements dependent upon sampling scales. The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate core sizes and sampling effort needed to characterize benthic infaunal communities in Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, USA.

Occurrence and structural characterization of heparin from molluscs
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2005 Several invertebrate species contain variable amounts of one or more types of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). At present it is well known the existence of a species-specific sulfated GAGs composition based on the relative amount and type of ...

Assessing shellfish harvesting and stakeholder perspectives on trade in Bangladesh’s largest wetland
Journal of FisheriesThe trade of freshwater shellfish is growing but has received insufficient attention from researchers. In this study, we examined various aspects of shellfish harvesting (catch amount and composition, socio-economic profiles of shellfish collectors ...

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Studying goose domestication through archaeological finds has been challenging due to the similar skeletal morphology of the European domestic goose and its wild progenitor, the greylag goose (Anser anser). We analyzed stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes from bone collagen of subfossil domestic and potentially domestic geese to ...

Genomics, immune studies and diseases in bivalve aquaculture
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2012 Diseases are a critical bottleneck for the culture of bivalves causing important yield losses. The study of bivalve diseases has relied on histological techniques and has focused on pathogen morphology, the effect of external factors on the pathogens and

Reconstructing Early Human Subsistence in Near Oceania: New Insights From Matenkupkum and Matenbek
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The colonization of New Ireland ~44–40,000 years ago represents the earliest evidence of human occupation in Near Oceania. Yet, the precise impacts of climatic changes on subsistence strategies during the Late Pleistocene, Last Glacial Maximum, and Holocene remain poorly understood.

Relationships between innate immunity in bivalve molluscs and environmental pollution
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2010 The immune system of invertebrates, such as molluscs consists of innate mechanisms very effective against antigens commonly present in the environment. However, these defense strategies could be altered by pollutants. This review is focused mainly on the

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens
Oikos, EarlyView.Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

Biologically active peptides in molluscs
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2016 The immune and neuroendocrine systems of invertebrates, as well as vertebrates, share a common pool of molecules that have been conserved throughout evolution. Now we add a new interface to this bidirectional interaction, demonstrating the involvement of
