Functional anatony of Brachidontes solisianus (orbigny, 1846) (Bivalvia: Mytilidae)
A anatomia funcional de B. solisianus, foi estudada com especial atenção ao funcionamento dos sifões, palpos, ctenídios e estômago. Procurou-se dar ênfase às adaptações daquelas estruturas ao meio em que o animal vive. Foram analisados com detalhe a motilidade e sensibilidade dos sifões, a estrutura muscular, o pé e o bisso, a movimentação e ciliação ...

Abstract A key foundation species, red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle), and secondary foundation species (oysters, sponges, and barnacles) that reside on mangrove prop roots are abundant along the coastline in subtropical Florida. We hypothesized the Foundation Species Interaction Biodiversity (FSIB) model, which explains the relationships between the ...

How Marine Megabenthos Fauna Responds to River Discharge and Artificial Flood in Large River Estuary
The artificial flood reshaped the geographical distribution of megabenthic fauna in the estuarine area in a short time, mainly as a result of the dramatic changes in seawater salinity and nutrients caused by flow pulse. An eco‐friendly discharge management of the Yellow River is needed to weaken the impact. ABSTRACT Estuaries are ecologically sensitive

Toxicity of Neem’s oil, a potential biocide against the invasive Mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker 1857) [PDF]
The golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker 1857) is one of the most distributed Nuisance Invasive Species (NIS) in South America, and a threat of great concern for the industry of the area. In this study, we carried out toxicity tests made with a Neem’
