Variable microsatellites in the Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas and other cupped oyster species [PDF]

Animal Genetics, 2000
Source/description : Genomic DNA was extracted from a whole Pacific oyster (C. gigas) after grinding in liquid nitrogen. Purified DNA was then digested by a mix of 3 restriction enzymes (AluI, RsaI, HaeIII). DNA fragments ranging from 250 to 500 bp were size-selected by agarose gel electrophoresis and ligated into the dephosphorylated blunt-ended SmaI ...

The sense of hearing in the Pacific oyster, Magallana gigas

PLOS ONE, 2017
There is an increasing concern that anthropogenic noise could have a significant impact on the marine environment, but there is still insufficient data for most invertebrates. What do they perceive? We investigated this question in oysters Magallana gigas (Crassostrea gigas) using pure tone exposures, accelerometer fixed on the oyster shell and ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
