The Effects of Microplastics and Additives on Ecosystem Function, Structure, and Signaling
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.Microplastics disrupt ecosystem signaling through olfactory traps, altering predator–prey signaling and disrupting microbial communication and quorum sensing. ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and their associated chemical additives are pervasive contaminants whose ecological impacts extend beyond organismal toxicity to fundamentally alter ecosystem ...

Differential response to stress in Ostrea lurida as measured by gene expression [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Olympia oysters are the only oyster native to the west coast of North America. The population within Puget Sound, WA has been decreasing significantly since the early 1900’s. Current restoration efforts are focused on supplementing local populations with

Coral reef and mangrove interplay during Holocene sea level changes, Belitung Island, Indonesia
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.The fate of mangroves and coral reefs during the ongoing sea level rise depends not only on our ability to preserve the ecosystems but also on their geological preconditioning. Therefore, strategies to preserve mangrove ecosystems, while undoubtedly essential, wecan only be successful if accounting for their geological history. Abstract Coral reefs and

Effects of temperature and salinity on the survival of Bonamia ostreae, a parasite infecting flat oysters Ostrea edulis [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2009 Bonamiosis due to the intrahaemocytic protistan parasite Bonamia ostreae is a European endemic disease affecting the flat oyster Ostrea edulis. The parasite has been described in various ecosystems from estuaries to open sea, but no clear correlation has yet been demonstrated between disease development and environmental parameters.

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

Biological characteristics of sperm in European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis)
Aquatic Living Resources, 2018 In brooding mollusc species that incubate larvae before their release in seawater, the biology of gametes remains poorly explored. The present study describes some biological characteristics of sperm of the European flat oyster, a native species that has

Two new species of Waiparaconus (Octocorallia) of the enigmatic Family Waiparaconidae
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 4, July/August 2026.Abstract Waiparaconus, a Late Cretaceous to early Cenozoic fossil, was long interpreted as a pedunculate cirripede, but is now tentatively placed in the Pennatuloidea (Order Scleralcyonacea, Class Octocorallia). New material from the Snow Hill Island Formation (lower Maastrichtian) at Vega Island, Antarctica is described and specimens from the Gingin ...

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2019 The protozoan parasite Bonamia ostreae has been associated with the decline of flat oyster Ostrea edulis populations in some European countries. Control of shellfish diseases mostly relies on prevention measures including transfer restrictions and stock management measures such as breeding programmes.
