Single nucleotide polymorphisms in native South American Atlantic coast populations of smooth shelled mussels: hybridization with invasive European Mytilus galloprovincialis

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2018
Background Throughout the world, harvesting of mussels Mytilus spp. is based on the exploitation of natural populations and aquaculture. Aquaculture activities include transfers of spat and live adult mussels between various geographic locations, which ...

An integrative response by Mytilus chilensis to the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella

open access: yesMarine Biology, 2010
Physiological responses of Mytilus chilensis exposed to the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella were measured over 21 days in the laboratory and were compared with control mussels not exposed to the dinoflagellate. Mussels were collected from culturing ropes at Yaldad Bay, southern Chile (43o08′S 73o44′W), in August 2004 and acclimated to ...

Biocultural Calendars Across Four Ethnolinguistic Communities in Southwestern South America

open access: yesGeoHealth, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Since the mid‐20th century, the so‐called Great Acceleration (sensu Steffen et al., 2007, https://doi.org/10.1579/0044-7447(2007)36[614:TAAHNO]2.0.CO;2) has amplified processes of ecosystem degradation, extinction of biological species, displacement of local peoples, losses of languages, and cultural diversity.

Mantle transcriptome sequencing of Mytilus spp. and identification of putative biomineralization genes [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
In molluscs, the shell secreted by mantle tissue during the biomineralization process is the first barrier against predators and mechanical damage.

Comparison of the physiological energetics betweenMytilus chilensis,Mytilus galloprovincialisand their hybrids, under laboratory conditions

open access: yesAquaculture Research, 2012
AbstractLaboratory-produced juvenile individuals of thespecies Mytilus chilensis, M. galloprovincialis and theirhybrids were subjected to physiological measure-ments under an experimental diet of Isochrysis galbana(30 9 10 6 cells L 1 ), 13°C temperature and a salin-ity of 30 psu. Pure species individuals showed ahigher clearance rate (CR).

A single clonal lineage of transmissible cancer identified in two marine mussel species in South America and Europe

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Transmissible cancers, in which cancer cells themselves act as an infectious agent, have been identified in Tasmanian devils, dogs, and four bivalves. We investigated a disseminated neoplasia affecting geographically distant populations of two species of

Gill tissues of the mussel Mytilus edulis chilensis: A new source for antimicrobial peptides [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2005
Antimicrobial peptides are small-sized, cationic and amphipathic molecules able to neutralize pathogenic microorganisms. Their antimicrobial effects tie them to mechanisms of immune defense, which is why they have been normally purified from immune cells.

Population structure of the Mytilidae Aulacomya atra and Mytilus chilensis from the fjord Comau, Chile, 2012

open access: yes, 2012
The population structure of Aulacomya atra and Mytilus chilensis was analysed at Station 1 (X-Huinay) in February 2012. Sampling of specimens was performed by Scientific SCUBA divers. Therefore, a quadratic frame (A. atra: 0.15 m**2; M. chilensis: 0.09 m*
