The queen conch mitogenome: intra- and interspecific mitogenomic variability in Strombidae and phylogenetic considerations within the Hypsogastropoda [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Aliger gigas is an economically important and vulnerable marine species. We present a new mitogenome of A. gigas from the Mexican Caribbean and use the eight publicly available Strombidae mitogenomes to analyze intra- and interspecific variation.

Species which may act as vectors or reservoirs of diseases covered by the Animal Health Law: Listed pathogens of crustaceans. [PDF]
EFSA J, 2023 Abstract Vector or reservoir species of three diseases of crustaceans listed in the Animal Health Law were identified based on evidence generated through an extensive literature review, to support a possible updating of Regulation (EU) 2018/1882.

Nematopsis Schneider, 1892 in Nerite Gastropods From Saint Kitts, With a Phylogenetic Study of the Genus, and Placement Within the Phylum Apicomplexa Levine, 1970. [PDF]
J Eukaryot MicrobiolABSTRACT The Apicomplexa are obligate unicellular parasites found in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Nematopsis are found infecting marine invertebrates in a life cycle involving mollusks and crustaceans. In the present study, mantle and muscle tissues from nerite gastropods were microscopically examined for Nematopsis using wet mounts and ...

Biomineralized Materials as Model Systems for Structural Composites: Intracrystalline Structural Features and Their Strengthening and Toughening Mechanisms. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh), 2022 The mineral building blocks in biomineralized composites exhibit salient intracrystalline structural features, such as organic inclusions, trace elements, varying crystalline features, residual stress/strain, and twinning, which significantly modifies the mechanical properties of biogenic minerals.

Journal of Phycology, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 658-680, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Multiple species of the genus Dinophysis produce diarrhetic shellfish toxins (okadaic acid and Dinophysis toxins, OA/DTXs analogs) and/or pectenotoxins (PTXs). Only since 2008 have DSP events (illnesses and/or shellfish harvesting closures) become recognized as a threat to human health in the United States.

Small, Volume 18, Issue 35, September 1, 2022., 2022 Marine calcifiers are widely believed to be impaired by ocean acidification, but this concept has been increasingly challenged by recent evidence. This systematic review and meta‐analysis of nearly 1000 studies reveal that many calcifiers are indeed more resistant to ocean acidification than initially thought, which can result from the positive effects

Biomineralized Materials as Model Systems for Structural Composites: 3D Architecture
Advanced Materials, Volume 34, Issue 20, May 19, 2022., 2022 Biomineralized load‐bearing materials are intrinsically 3D composites and are widely used as model systems for developing novel structural materials with improved mechanical performance. This review presents recent progress in understanding the 3D architectural design of biomineralized composites.
