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.

Quasi-static and dynamic mechanical response of Strombus gigas (conch) shells

Materials Science & Engineering A: Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing, 2001
Abstract Quasi-static and dynamic compression and three-point bending tests have been carried out on Strombus gigas (conch) shells. The mechanical response is correlated with its microstructure and damage mechanisms. The mechanical response is found to vary significantly from specimen to specimen and requires the application of Weibull statistics in ...

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 Microbiol
ABSTRACT 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.

A survey of Dinophysis spp. and their potential to cause diarrhetic shellfish poisoning in coastal waters of the United States

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.

Is Ocean Acidification Really a Threat to Marine Calcifiers? A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of 980+ Studies Spanning Two Decades

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.

Testing small‐scale ecological gradients and intraspecific differentiation for hundreds of kelp forest species using haplotypes from metabarcoding

Molecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 13, Page 3355-3373, July 2021., 2021
Abstract DNA metabarcoding has been increasingly used to detail distributions of hundreds of species. Most analyses focus on creating molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) from complex mixtures of DNA sequences, but much less common is use of the sequence diversity within these MOTUs.
