Integrating Aegean Last Interglacial faunas into the Mediterranean palaeobiogeographic framework: New evidence from Karpathos (Greece)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 80-98, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The Last Interglacial (LIG) or Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e, spanning 129 to 116 kyrs ago, is recognised as one of the warmest periods in the Quaternary, with global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) 1°C–2°C higher than today, sea levels 5–10 m above the current level and biogeographical range expansion of specific tropical species into the ...

De novo assembly and characterization of two transcriptomes reveal multiple light-mediated functions in the scallop eye (Bivalvia: Pectinidae). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: The eye has evolved across 13 separate lineages of molluscs. Yet, there have been very few studies examining the molecular machinary underlying eye function of this group, which is due, in part, to a lack of genomic resources.

Sea otter interactions with mariculture oyster farms

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 6, August 2025.
Despite concerns about sea otter (Enhydra lutris) interactions with oyster farms in Alaska, our study found no significant differences in general activity or prey selection between farm and non‐farm areas. However, sea otter prey intake rates varied spatially, with clams, mussels, and crabs dominating their diet.

Rates of morphological evolution, asymmetry and morphological integration of shell shape in scallops

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
Background Rates of morphological evolution vary across different taxonomic groups, and this has been proposed as one of the main drivers for the great diversity of organisms on Earth.

Aquaculture in Peru: Situation, Challenges and Prospects

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture in Peru is a sector with significant growth and development in recent years. However, it faces multiple challenges to ensure its sustainability. This study aims to characterize the Peruvian aquaculture system by analysing the public, private and educational stakeholders involved, as well as the productive, commercial and ...

Identification of male gametogenesis expressed genes from the scallop Nodipecten subnodosus by suppressive subtraction hybridization and pyrosequencing. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Despite the great advances in sequencing technologies, genomic and transcriptomic information for marine non-model species with ecological, evolutionary, and economical interest is still scarce.

Approaching the Miocene Climatic Optimum in Patagonia (Southern Argentina): Temperature Seasonality and a Potential Role for the Opening Drake Passage

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract The Miocene Epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) is receiving increased attention because estimated pCO2 and its associated warmth is comparable to projections over the next century. Well‐constrained sea‐surface temperatures in the tropics and northern latitudes express amplified warming during the Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO; 16.9–14.7 Ma), yet data from ...

Non‐Native Species in Aquaculture: Burgeoning Production and Environmental Sustainability Risks

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Rising global food demands and technological advancements have led to unprecedented growth in the aquaculture industry. This rapid expansion has facilitated the translocation of species beyond their native ranges. While farming non‐native species boosts global food supply, it also poses environmental and socio‐economic risks when escapees ...

Temperature Effects on the Distribution of Aragonitic and Calcite‐Secreting Epifaunal Bivalves

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 313-322, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim To test if temperature significantly influences the global biogeographic distribution of marine epifaunal bivalves via their skeletal mineralogy. Location Global. Taxa Marine, epifaunal bivalves. Methods The skeletal mineralogy of 45,789 epifaunal bivalve occurrences from 669 species from the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS ...
