Lack of evidence for HEV infection in Baltic sea mussels (Mytilidae) [PDF]
Background 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.

Mitochondrial genomic analyses provide new insights into the “missing” atp8 and adaptive evolution of Mytilidae [PDF]
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 ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of a fouling mussel, Xenostrobus atratus (Mollusca: Mytilidae), and its phylogenetic implication [PDF]
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.

Should I stay, or should I go: Anthropogenic noises disrupt early recruitment of subarctic invertebrates [PDF]
Abstract Coastal subarctic systems are inhabited by bivalve and gastropods, which due to their lifecycle and longevity are reliable indicators of ecological alterations in the environment. Recent laboratory studies have shown that young life stages of invertebrates perceive natural sounds, and their settlement, behavior, and fitness could be altered by

Evidence of multiple genome duplication events in Mytilus evolution [PDF]
Background Molluscs remain one significantly under-represented taxa amongst available genomic resources, despite being the second-largest animal phylum and the recent advances in genomes sequencing technologies and genome assembly techniques.

The Relationship between Lifespan of Marine Bivalves and Their Fatty Acids of Mitochondria Lipids [PDF]
Marine bivalves belonging to the Mytilidae and Pectinidae Families were used in this research. The specific objectives of this study were: to determine the Fatty Acids (FAs) of mitochondrial gill membranes in bivalves with different lifespans, belonging ...

Examining Marine Assemblages Across an Inverse Salinity Gradient [PDF]
ABSTRACT Salinity gradients and fluctuations can create a natural ecological filter, with few species tolerating salinity above 50 practical salinity units (PSUs). We investigated how an inverse salinity gradient affected marine community diversity and composition in Shark Bay, a remote hypersaline coastal embayment in Western Australia.

Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Mytella strigata (Hanley 1843) (Bivalvia: Mytiloida: Mytilidae) [PDF]
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]
IntroductionMany 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 ...
