Ecosphere, 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 ...

Hide ‘n seq: Direct versus indirect metabarcoding of coral reef cryptic communities
Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 93-107, January 2022., 2022 Cryptic diversity of coral reef habitat was compared among metabarcoding methods using standardized autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) and eDNA applying a broad eukaryotic marker (COI). Metabarcoding of biomass from ARMS and eDNA from water samples revealed fundamentally different communities of cryptic coral reef habitat with little overlap ...

Global Change Biology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 868-878, February 2021., 2021 Ancient global warming events may hint at what lies in store for us if we do not curb man‐made global warming and modern marine animals are already responding to warming waters. Averaged over six separate global warming events, or hyperthermals, fossil extinctions support that photosymbiotic corals and the reef habitats they provide, brachiopods ...

Emerging risks of non-native species escapes from aquaculture: Call for policy improvements in China and other developing countries [PDF]
, 2020 Global aquaculture relies heavily on the farming of non-native aquatic species (hereafter, NAS). NAS escapes from aquaculture facilities can result in serious aquatic bio-invasions, which has been an important issue in the FAO Blue Growth Initiative.

AN INSIGHT INTO THE SYSTEMATICS OF PLICATOSTYLIDAE (BIVALVIA), WITH A DESCRIPTION OF PACHYGERVILLIA ANGUILLAENSIS N. GEN. N. SP. FROM THE LITHIOTIS FACIES (LOWER JURASSIC) OF ITALY [PDF]
, 2023 The Lithiotis facies represents an Early Jurassic global bioevent characterized by a remarkable spread of gregarious bivalves, which produced large sedimentary bodies in tropical shallow-water marine environments.

Investigating the Bivalve Tree of Life -- an exemplar-based approach combining molecular and novel morphological characters. [PDF]
, 2014 To re-evaluate the relationships of the major bivalve lineages, we amassed detailed morpho-anatomical, ultrastructural and molecular sequence data for a targeted selection of exemplar bivalves spanning the phylogenetic diversity of the class. We included

Inventário De Moluscos Do Estuário Do Rio Paraíba No Nordeste Do Brasil [PDF]
, 2017 Coastal ecosystems of northeastern Brazil have important biodiversity with regard to marine mollusks, which are insufficiently studied. Here we provide an inventory of mollusks from two sites in the estuary of the Paraíba River.

High genetic diversity and lack of structure underlie the invasion history of the non-indigenous oyster Dendostrea cf. crenulifera (Mollusca, Ostreida, Ostreidae) spreading in the eastern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
NeoBiotaSince the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, hundreds of Indo-Pacific species have rapidly colonised the Mediterranean. Understanding the spatial and temporal patterns of this biological invasion is crucial for assessing its ecological impact.
