Role of Holocene beds of the stout razor clam Tagelus plebeius in structuring present benthic communities [PDF]
Shell beds of the stout razor clam Tagelus plebeius in life position are common in the intertidal areas of several SW Atlantic estuaries (36° to 39° S). In this study we investigate the effect of this habitat structure on the benthic community, focusing on: (1) species which use this habitat as a refuge, (2) characteristics of the internal and external

Estrutura fina do espermatozóide de Tagelus plebeius (Lightfoot) (Mollusca, Bivalvia) do litoral norte do Brasil [PDF]
It is described the sperm ultraestructure differentiation during spermiogenesis of Tagelus plebeius (Lightfoot, 1786). The spermatozoon is an uniflagellated cell of the primitive type. The head region contains a rounded or conical nucleus surrounded by acrosome. The middle piece contains four mitochondria which are arranged around the axoneme.

Feed‐food competition in global aquaculture: Current trends and prospects
Abstract Feed‐food competition is the allocation of resources that can be used to feed humans to animal feed instead, a current but unsustainable practise not well documented for aquaculture. Here, we analysed feed‐food competition in aquaculture using two measures; natural trophic levels (TLs) and species‐specific human‐edible protein conversion ...

Abstract The fossil record yields a peculiar phenomenon in different kinds of molluscan shells: bioclaustrations formed around (epi)symbionts during growth of the hosts' shell margin. Four morphologies, two of them formerly considered bioerosion traces, are here united in the parataxonomy of bioclaustration structures under the revised cecidogenus ...

Growth, mortality, and reproduction of Tagelus plebeius (Bivalvia: Solecurtidae) in Southeast Brazil [PDF]
Tagelus plebeius (Lightfoot, 1786) is a stout razor clam that is economically exploited in several countries, including several local fisheries along the Brazilian coast. Despite its wide distribution and economic importance, there are few studies that have examined the population biology of this species.
