Latitudinal variation and plasticity in response to temperature in Geukensia demissa

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
As global temperatures warm, species must adapt to a changing climate or transition to a different location suitable for their survival. Understanding the extent to which species are able to do so, particularly keystone species, is imperative to ensuring

A Review of Coastal Anthropogenic Impacts on Mytilid Mussel Beds: Effects on Mussels and Their Associated Assemblages

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Mussel beds are an important habitat in many coastal systems, harboring a high diversity of biota. They are threatened by anthropogenic impacts that affect mussels and their associated assemblages.

Using Natural History Collections to Determine the Relative Changes in Diversity and Distribution of Freshwater Molluscs in KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Research using natural history collections to track anthropogenic activities has recently been on the rise. Natural history collections have been utilised beyond their traditional taxonomic and systematic roles, generating data that shape present and future research.

Precursor Mineral Phases of Forming Mollusk Shell Nacre: A Study of Hydrated Samples

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 17, 26 February 2026.
Mineral, organic phase, and water are the essential components in mollusk shell nacre formation. Their interplay is not well understood, because the hydrated material is difficult to observe at high resolution, under close to native conditions. Forming nacre is studied using environmental and cryo‐electron microscopy and hydrated ACC phases, together ...

Molecular Diversity of Mytilin-Like Defense Peptides in Mytilidae (Mollusca, Bivalvia)

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2020
The CS-αβ architecture is a structural scaffold shared by a high number of small, cationic, cysteine-rich defense peptides, found in nearly all the major branches of the tree of life. Although several CS-αβ peptides involved in innate

ABUNDANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF MICROPLASTICS IN MARKET BIVALVE Aulacomya Atra (MYTILIDAE: BIVALVIA)

open access: yesActa Biológica Colombiana, 2021
Seafood contamination with microplastics is one major route for human intake. Shellfish are among the most important since most shellfish species are eaten fresh and entirely. The aim of the present study was to report the abundance and characteristics

Sequencing Ultraconserved Elements (UCEs) for Marine Population Genomics: A Proof‐of‐Concept Using a Deep‐Sea Mussel Species

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Ultraconserved elements (UCEs) have emerged as a powerful tool for resolving deep evolutionary relationships due to their low DNA quality requirements and broad taxonomic applicability. While their utility for intraspecific and shallow‐divergence studies is growing, only a few studies have explored their performance in marine taxa, some of ...
