Use of Shell-shape to discrimate between Brachidontes rodriguezii and Brachidontes purpuratus species (Mytilidae) in the transition zone of their distributions (South-western Atlantic) [PDF]

, 2013
Mussels are important components of rocky shore assemblages throughout the world. Several Mytilid species are found as multilayered beds in the intertidal along the coasts of the South-western Atlantic.

The Influence of Aquaculture and a Natural Environmental Gradient on Shell Landmark Variation of the Mediterranean Mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819) From the Eastern Adriatic Sea

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 4, April 2025.
We used geometric morphometry to identify shell landmark differentiation in the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis across the eastern Adriatic Sea. The results revealed that an elongated shell shape was particularly characteristic of southern populations and those from environments with lower salinity concentrations.

Molecular methods confirm the first report of the non-indigenous Perna viridis Linnaeus, 1758 (Mytilida, Mytilidae) in southern Brazil

Check List
The mussel Perna viridis, commonly known as Green Mussel, is native from the Indo-Pacific region and has been introduced in various countries around the globe. In Brazil, the species has already been recorded in Rio de Janeiro and Ceará states. With the aim of assessing the presence of mussels in the southern region of the country,

Effects of interactions among primary and secondary foundation species on biodiversity and associated community structure

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2025.
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

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
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

New insights into diversity and evolution of deep-sea Mytilidae (Mollusca: Bivalvia)

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2010
Bathymodiolinae mussels have been used as a biological model to better understand the evolutionary origin of faunas associated with deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. Most studies to date, however, have sampled with a strong bias towards vent and seep species, mainly because of a lack of knowledge of closely related species from organic falls.

Modiolus cimbricus sp. nov. (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) endemic in the Kattegat-Skagerrak

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2019
Small usually beautifully coloured mussels from the Kattegat were to date identified as Modiolus adriaticus (Lamarck, 1819) since C.G.Johs. Petersen’s account of the shell-bearing molluscs was published in 1888.
