Impacts of in vivo and in vitro exposures to tamoxifen: comparative effects on human cells and marine organisms [PDF]
Tamoxifen (TAM) is a first generation-SERM administered for hormone receptor-positive (HER+) breast cancer in both pre- and post-menopausal patients and may undergo metabolic activation in organisms that share similar receptors and thus face comparable ...

ABSTRACT Aim This study characterises benthic habitats and associated biodiversity in three Japanese subduction trenches, and explores the effects of trench‐specific differences in large‐scale seismic events, disturbance and productivity regimes on habitat structure and assemblage composition.

Sponges establish tight associations with both micro- and macroorganisms. However, while studies on sponge microbiomes are numerous, nothing is currently known about the microbiomes of sponge-associated polychaetes and their relationships with those of ...

The Function of the Heart-Body in Polychaetes [PDF]
The heart-bodies and some other tissues of a number of polychaetes have been examined chemically, and the porphyrin pigments from these tissues described. Coproporphyrin III was shown to be present in relatively large concentration in all the heart-bodies, together with traces of coproporphyrin I, a tricarboxylic porphyrin and protohaematin.

Effects of ocean acidification on invertebrate settlement at volcanic CO
We present the first study of the effects of ocean acidification on settlement of benthic invertebrates and microfauna. Artificial collectors were placed for 1 month along pH gradients at CO2 vents off Ischia (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy).

This study investigates the morphology, abundance, and distribution of taste papillae in the oropharyngeal cavity of a range of elasmobranchs using SEM, histology, and topographic analyses. The interspecific importance of gustation is reflected in quantitative differences in the size, density, and distribution of taste papillae, which have implications

The mitogenome sequence of the epitokous Nereis species (Phyllodocida, Nereididae) was determined first in the genus Nereis. The complete mitogenome is 15,667 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and a ...

Learning in the Polychaete Nereis [PDF]
THE rapid withdrawal reflex of the polychaetes Nereis diversicolor, N. pelagica and Platynereis dumerilii habituates rapidly to sudden stimuli, such as changes in illumination or mechanical stimuli, but if a foreign stimulus is interpolated in a series of stimulus presentations it is usually followed by greater reactivity to the original stimulus ...

Low faunal diversity on Maltese sandy beaches : fact or artefact? [PDF]
Eight sandy beaches on Malta and two on Gozo were sampled for macrofauna to test the hypothesis that Maltese beaches have an intrinsically low diversity.

Diets of shags Phalacrocorax aristotelis and cormorants P. carbo in Norway and possible implications for gadoid stock recruitment [PDF]
The diets of shags and cormorants were studied in Norway through analyses of regurgitated pellets. Although this method has many limitations, indications were that both species rely heavily on small gadoids (Gadidae) and sand eels (Ammodytidae) for food ...
