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 ...

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 ...

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.

Low abundance and skewed population structure of the whelk Stramonita haemastoma along the Israeli Mediterranean coast [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 2001 Stramonita (=Thais) haemastoma (Kool, 1987), a relatively large predatory snail found in rocky littoral ecosystems, can attain densities of hundreds of individuals per m 2 in warm temperate coasts of the western Atlantic. It has also been reported as common along the Israeli Mediterranean coast; however our preliminary observations there suggested low ...

Locomotion of Stramonita haemastoma (Linnaeus) (Gastropoda, Muricidae) on a mixed shore of rocks and sand [PDF]
Revista Brasileira De Zoologia, 2001 Mixed shores of rocks and sand are appropriate systems for the study of limitations that the isolation of rocks may impose for gastropods that typically inhabit rocky shores. We marked 52 Stramonita haemastoma (Linnaeus, 1767) snails on a mixed shore and found that 34 of them moved between rocks one to four times during 15 surveys in a period of 72 ...

Imposex in Stramonita haemastoma: a preliminary comparison between waterborne and dietborne exposure
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Contamination, 2014 400 adult individuals of the Stramonita haemastoma were collected from a pristine beach in Ceara State, Brazil. These organisms were transplanted into a marina with intense shipping activities and were fed weekly with oysters obtained from the same beach from which they were collected, being exposed only to the bioavailable organotins in the ...
