The archaeology of shellfishing practices on Ua Huka, Marquesas Archipelago (French Polynesia)
Abstract Shellfish remains are ubiquitous to coastal archaeological sites in the Marquesas but have seldom been the focus of dedicated investigations into their contribution to past diet and daily life. On the island of Ua Huka, in the northern group of the archipelago, people have consumed a variety of shellfish since their arrival on the island ...

Abstract Assessments of ecosystem functioning are a fundamental ecological challenge and an essential foundation for ecosystem‐based management. Species trophic position (TP) is essential to characterize food web architecture. However, despite the intuitive nature of the concept, empirically estimating TP is a challenging task due to the complexity of ...

Maturation de l’huître perlière Pinctada margaritifera aux îles Gambier [PDF]
Le cycle reproducteur de l’huître perlière a été étudié de septembre 2002 à août 2003 sur des échantillons de 30 individus initialement âgés de 2 ans prélevés à intervalles de 15 jours sur une filière d’élevage dans le lagon de Rikitea aux îles Gambier.

Exploring the Mineral Composition, Structure, and Function of a Freshwater Bivalve Adhesive
The freshwater oyster, Etheria elliptica, produces a mineralized adhesive consisting of aragonite nanoparticles that are less dense and more crystallographically disordered at the exterior than at the interior of the adhesive. The resulting material has a gradient in hardness and elasticity with the adhesive closest to the exterior being softer and ...

Larval transition is associated with large shifts in gene expression in Pinctada margaritifera. Abstract Early development stages in marine bivalve are critical periods where larvae transition from pelagic free‐life to sessile mature individuals. The successive metamorphosis requires the expression of key genes, the functions of which might be under ...
