Unveiling Shell Geometry: Morphometric Differences Between the Invasive Mussel Perna viridis and the Native Perna perna

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Perna viridis is an invasive mussel species recently introduced to the southeastern coast of Brazil, where it coexists with the native Perna perna. Morphological similarity between these species, particularly in early life stages, has led to frequent misidentifications, compromising ecological assessments and management efforts.

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

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 ...
