Influence of Thermal Preparation Method on Mineral Composition of Mussels

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Food Science and Technology, 2018
This study focuses on evaluation of the effects of 3 different thermal preparation methods (boiling, roasting, microwaving) on mineral concentrations of mussels from Bucharest market.

Freshwater shrimp (Palaemonetes Australis) may be involved in glochidia release from the freshwater mussel(Westraluno Carteri) [PDF]

, 2011
On 27 November 2010 while snorkeling in Canebreak Pool, Margaret River I observed interesting interactions between freshwater shrimp (Palaemonetes australis) and freshwater mussels (Westralunio carteri). First, it is necessary to give a brief explanation

Does bigger mean sicker? A systematic review and meta‐analysis of the intraspecific relationship between host body size and parasite infection across vertebrate taxa

Oikos, EarlyView.
Elucidating the determinants of parasite infection levels of individuals within a population is a basic but important step for understanding the roles of parasites in natural systems. Among intraspecific studies on vertebrate hosts and metazoan parasites, host body size (length/mass) is probably the most frequently reported factor determining parasite ...

Integrating and assessing metacommunity drivers of ecosystem function and resilience in benthic algal systems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

Dynamic response of communities and ecosystem functions to ecosystem engineering and multiple stressors in a marine mussel bed

Oikos, EarlyView.
Ecosystem engineers are crucial to the development of coastal ecosystem communities and functions. However, a better understanding of how environmental stressors affect ecosystem engineering and thereby influence communities and ecosystem dynamics is needed. We conducted an in situ experiment in a blue mussel Mytilus spp.

Interactions between the oyster larvae pathogen Vibrio ostreicida and the bivalve hosts Mytilus galloprovincialis and Magallana gigas

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionMarine bivalves are continuously exposed to a variety of environmental stressors, including different Vibrio species potentially involved in disease outbreaks that have severely impacted farmed populations over the past two decades.

Ecosystem engineers and functional dominance: when species loss matters for ecosystem function

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding when and why species loss affects community function in natural communities remains an open question in ecology. Recent cross‐system analyses have shown that functional dominance is associated with whether species loss matters: in communities dominated by few high‐performing species, lost species contribute little to function.

Do Newly Settled, Field-Collected Oysters and Other Common Sessile Marine Invertebrates Contain Microplastics?

Microplastics
Many filter-feeding invertebrates consume microplastics (MP) under laboratory conditions, but little is known about newly settled, field-collected juveniles.
