Annotated checklist and genetic data for parasitic helminths infecting New Zealand marine invertebrates

open access: yesInvertebrate Biology, Volume 141, Issue 3, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Parasitic helminths with complex life cycles require multiple hosts in a particular order to complete their life cycles. Although almost all helminths infect invertebrates at some point in their life cycle, we know very little about which species of invertebrates harbor parasites compared with what is known for vertebrates. In New Zealand, <1%

Neogastropod phylogenetic relationships based on entire mitochondrial genomes

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background The Neogastropoda is a highly diversified group of predatory marine snails (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda). Traditionally, its monophyly has been widely accepted based on several morphological synapomorphies mostly related with the digestive ...

Origin of the tropical–polar biodiversity contrast

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 6, Page 1207-1227, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim The aim was to investigate the evolutionary origins of the striking biodiversity contrast between high‐ and low‐latitude regions in the present day. Is this a relatively recent phenomenon, causally linked in some way to the greenhouse–icehouse transition and onset of global cooling c.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Harpovoluta charcoti (Gastropoda: Neogastropoda: Volutidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
We report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Harpovoluta charcoti, a circum-Antarctic species of volutid gastropod inhabiting bathyal soft bottom substrates. The mitogenome is 15,487 bp in length, has a base composition of A (28.3%), T (37.3%),

Citizen scientists contributing to alien species detection: the case of fishes and mollusks in European marine waters

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Citizen science (CS) expands the spatial and temporal scale of alien species records. As such, it has been recognized as a complementary tool in alien species management and large‐scale biodiversity conservation. The present study assessed the contribution of CS to the recording of marine alien fishes and mollusks in European marine waters by ...

Feeding habits and novel prey of larval fishes in the northern San Francisco Estuary

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page 1059-1080, November 2021., 2021
We used dietary DNA metabarcoding analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene to study the diets of larval fishes in the San Francisco Estuary and found a high level of overlap between the two species primarily dominated by calanoid and cyclopoid copepods.

Nitric Oxide Synthase in the Central Nervous System and Peripheral Organs of Stramonita haemastoma: Protein Distribution and Gene Expression in Response to Thermal Stress

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2015
Nitric oxide (NO) is generated via the oxidation of l-arginine by the enzyme NO synthase (NOS) both in vertebrates and invertebrates. Three NOS isoforms, nNOS, iNOS and eNOS, are known in vertebrates, whereas a single NOS isoform is usually expressed in ...

Complete mitogenome of the noble volute Cymbiola nobilis from the Vietnamese Island of Phú Quốc

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
We sequenced the complete mitogenome of a specimen of Cymbiola nobilis (Neogastropoda, Volutidae) from Phú Quốc Island in Vietnam. The mitogenome of this predatory sea snail is 16,314-bp long and comprises the typical set of genes encoding 13 proteins, 2
