Mitochondrial genomic analyses provide new insights into the “missing” atp8 and adaptive evolution of Mytilidae [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2022 Background Mytilidae, also known as marine mussels, are widely distributed in the oceans worldwide. Members of Mytilidae show a tremendous range of ecological adaptions, from the species distributed in freshwater to those that inhabit in deep-sea ...

Lack of evidence for HEV infection in Baltic sea mussels (Mytilidae) [PDF]
BMC Infectious DiseasesBackground and aims Hepatitis E virus (HEV), similar to hepatitis A virus (HAV), has been linked to cases associated with mussel consumption, and several studies have detected HEV in commercially available mussels.

The complete mitochondrial genome of a fouling mussel, Xenostrobus atratus (Mollusca: Mytilidae), and its phylogenetic implication [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2023 In this study, we report the female-lineage mitochondrial genome of Xenostrobus atratus for the first time. The circular mitochondrial genome is 14,806 bp in length and contains 12 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes.

Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Mytella strigata (Hanley 1843) (Bivalvia: Mytiloida: Mytilidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 We sequenced and assembled the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of the American brackish water mussel Mytella strigata. The mitogenome, reaching 16,302 bp in length, includes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 23 ...

Opsin expression varies across larval development and taxa in pteriomorphian bivalves [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroscienceIntroductionMany marine organisms have a biphasic life cycle that transitions between a swimming larva with a more sedentary adult form. At the end of the first phase, larvae must identify suitable sites to settle and undergo a dramatic morphological ...

A study of the stable carbon and oxygen isotope composition of recent shells of Mytilidae, especially of oxygen values in relation to temperature [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2014 Analyses of the stable isotopes 18O and 13C were made of modern marine shells of the widely distributed Mytilidae, primarily intertidal species, collected from beaches in Europe and southern Africa, as well as from Australia and Argentina.
