Examining Marine Assemblages Across an Inverse Salinity Gradient. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
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]

Mitochondrial DNA B Resour, 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 ...

The Relationship between Lifespan of Marine Bivalves and Their Fatty Acids of Mitochondria Lipids. [PDF]

Biology (Basel), 2023
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 ...

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.

High metal contents in the fan mussel Pinna nobilis in the Balearic Archipelago (western Mediterranean Sea) and a review of concentrations in marine bivalves (Pinnidae)

Scientia Marina, 2016
Concentrations of metals (Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb and Zn) in the marine bivalve Pinna nobilis at several coastal locations of Majorca and the Cabrera Islands (Mediterranean Sea) were investigated. The elevated concentrations of metals found in the soft tissues of

Trioecy in the Marine Mussel Semimytilus algosus (Mollusca, Bivalvia): Stable Sex Ratios Across 22 Degrees of a Latitudinal Gradient

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Trioecy, the co-occurrence of males, females and hermaphrodites in natural populations, is a relatively common sexual system in plants, but is rare and poorly understood in animals.
