Nitric Oxide Synthase in the Central Nervous System and Peripheral Organs of Stramonita haemastoma: Protein Distribution and Gene Expression in Response to Thermal Stress [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2015 Nitric oxide (NO) is generated via the oxidation of l-arginine by the enzyme NO synthase (NOS) both in vertebrates and invertebrates. Three NOS isoforms, nNOS, iNOS and eNOS, are known in vertebrates, whereas a single NOS isoform is usually expressed in ...

Associated fauna and effects of epibiotic barnacles on the relative growth and reproductive indices of Stramonita haemastoma (Gastropoda: Muricidae) [PDF]
Scientia Marina, 2015 To better understand the impacts of biofouling on the biological processes of the basibiont, the effects of epibiotic barnacles on the relative growth and reproductive indices of Stramonita haemastoma (Linnaeus, 1767) were assessed.

Imposex induction in Stramonita haemastoma floridana (Conrad, 1837) (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Muricidae) submitted to an organotin-contaminated diet [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2006 Marine organisms are affected by organotin compounds due to the cumulative, deleterious effects of these latter. The most evident and well known consequence of organotin contamination is imposex, a hormonal disruption that causes a superimposition of ...

Spatial patterns in the population structure of the whelk Stramonita haemastoma (Linnaeus, 1766) (Gastropoda: Muricidae) in the Canarian Archipelago (eastern Atlantic) [PDF]
Scientia Marina, 2009 The goal of this study was to determine the consistency of the vertical distribution patterns of the predatory whelk, Stramonita haemastoma, in the rocky intertidal zone of the Canarian Archipelago (eastern Atlantic) across a hierarchy of five orders of ...

Imposex in Stramonita haemastoma from coastal sites of Cartagena, Colombia [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2017 Imposex is the development of male sexual characteristics caused by the toxic effects of some chemicals that acts as an endocrinal disruptor. Antifouling paints contain these chemicals.

Multi-omics characterization of toxin expression and producing organs in the predatory gastropods Monoplex corrugatus and Stramonita haemastoma [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground The exploration of toxin diversity is crucial for understanding the evolutionary adaptation of venomous taxa. Despite being active venomous predators, neogastropods are largely understudied beyond Conidae.

Molecular evidence of two cryptic species of Stramonita (Mollusca, Muricidae) in the southeastern Atlantic coast of Brazil [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2016 Snails of the genus Stramonita are commonly found in the rocky intertidal habitat of the western Atlantic Ocean coast. They belong to a monophyletic taxon that occurs along the tropical and warm-temperate Atlantic and eastern Pacific rocky shores.

Optimizing Computed Tomography (CT) for Structurally Complex Organisms: A Case Study of Gastropod Shell Features. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe developed and tested a computed tomography (CT) protocol to estimate shell volume as a method instead of using water and sand. We compared the estimates obtained using this protocol (OCT, optimized CT) with traditional methods (water and sand) and with a CT previous setting (NOCT, nonoptimized CT).
