Analytical Method Optimization of Tetrodotoxin and Its Contamination in Gastropods [PDF]

Foods, 2023
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is an extremely potent marine biotoxin. An analytical method was developed for both trace contamination and extremely high levels of TTX in gastropods by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with clean-up of cation

New Typical Vector of Neurotoxin β-N-Methylamino-l-Alanine (BMAA) in the Marine Benthic Ecosystem [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2016
The neurotoxin β-N-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) has been identified as an environmental factor triggering neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Target‐capture probes for phylogenomics of the Caenogastropoda

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1372-1388, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Target‐capture approaches have facilitated a rapid growth in the field of phylogenomics but few probe sets exist for molluscs, an exceptionally rich phylum with unparalleled ecological and morphological diversity. We designed and tested the first universal probe set using Phyluce to capture ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and exon loci from the

Trophic interactions and metal transfer in marine ecosystems driven by the Peruvian scallop Argopecten purpuratus aquaculture

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 452-474, April 2022., 2022
Abstract This study investigates the trophic interactions and As and Cd transfer along seven marine ecosystems in Peru. Five of these ecosystems are driven by aquaculture of the Peruvian scallop Argopecten purpuratus. A southward increased gradient of δ15N was observed among the three examined regions along the Peruvian coast.

Mollusc aquaculture homogenizes intertidal soft‐sediment communities along the 18,400 km long coastline of China

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 8, Page 1553-1567, August 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim Molluscs are important grazers, filter and deposit feeders, scavengers and predators, which in turn are food for shorebirds, fish and people. Some species, targeted as human food, have been cultured along the Chinese coast for hundreds of years.

Foundation species support fauna across multiple trophic levels via trophic and non‐trophic mechanisms

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 293-307, January 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Foundation species, such as seagrasses, trees, and corals, form the biotic basis for many ecosystems. They engineer local habitats and can support many faunal species through trophic (e.g. providing feeding grounds) or non‐trophic (e.g.

Investigating the Upper Holocene palaeoenvironment and human subsistence strategy in the Khor Rori coastal area by studying mollusc remains from the Inqitat plateau (Dhofar, Sultanate of Oman)

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 608-625, May 2024.
ABSTRACT Archaeological shells have a great potential for reconstructing past environments and human–environment interactions. The Inqitat plateau (Khor Rori Archaeological Park, Oman) shows rich mollusc assemblages, present in the HAS1 settlement and in a shell midden nearby (Iron Age).
