Widespread Variation in Retinochrome Spectral Absorbance Across Scallop Phylogeny
ABSTRACT Vision is a two‐step process, including phototransduction initiated by a retinal‐bound opsin photopigment, and subsequent photopigment regeneration wherein the inactive state is restored. Because retinal isomerization, or changing of the molecular structural conformation, drives the activation of opsin photopigments, the reverse process is a ...

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]
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.

The family Anomiidae displays taxonomic ambiguity due to morphological plasticity. We resurrect Heteranomia aculeata and Pododesmus glaucus, while reclassifying Isonomia umbonata as Pododesmus umbonatus. Phylogenetic analyses confirm these revisions and the monophyly of all genera within Anomiidae, with Pododesmus as the earliest‐diverging lineage ...

The scallop genus Amusium Röding, 1798 is one of few genera of Pectinidae that includes taxa capable of long-distance swimming or gliding. Membership of the genus has been defined primarily by shell shape, and it currently includes only three species ...

Sea otter interactions with mariculture oyster farms
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.

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