Molecular phylogeny of the bivalve superfamily Galeommatoidea (Heterodonta, Veneroida) reveals dynamic evolution of symbiotic lifestyle and interphylum host switching [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 Background Galeommatoidea is a superfamily of bivalves that exhibits remarkably diverse lifestyles. Many members of this group live attached to the body surface or inside the burrows of other marine invertebrates, including crustaceans, holothurians ...

Hidrobiológica, 2017 Background. The subfamily Sphaeriinae of freshwater bivalves is formed by three genera, Musculium, Pisidium,and Sphaerium. However, the monophyly of the latter two has been questioned in different phylogenetic analyses. Goals. In this study, we added Pisidiumchilenseto the phylogenetic analysis, based on sequences of nuclear ribosomal, an internal ...

Spatial variation in reproduction in southern populations of the New Zealand bivalvePaphies ventricosa(Veneroida: Mesodesmatidae) [PDF]
Invertebrate Reproduction & Development, 2015 Paphies ventricosa is a large surf clam endemic to New Zealand, and whose populations have substantially declined during the past century owing to overfishing and habitat degradation. Poor recruitment is now evident, and therefore, understanding the reproductive patterns of P.

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014 Mollusks are some of the most important, abundant and diverse organisms inhabiting not only aquatic ecosystems, but also terrestrial environments. Recently, they have been used for bioremediation of aquaculture effluents; nevertheless, for that purpose ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 One of the most striking exceptions to strict maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in the animal kingdom is a system called doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI), which exists in several bivalve species.

Microbially influenced corrosion and rust tubercle formation on sheet piles in freshwater systems
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 10, Page 1796-1815, October 2023., 2023 Abstract The extent of how complex natural microbial communities contribute to metal corrosion is still not fully resolved, especially not for freshwater environments. In order to elucidate the key processes, we investigated rust tubercles forming massively on sheet piles along the river Havel (Germany) applying a complementary set of techniques.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 1413-1427, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Freshwater mussels are an ancient group of molluscs that are considered ecosystem engineers because of the many important functions they perform, including biofiltration and biodeposition. Associations between mussel declines and increased sedimentation are well documented, but the direct effects of suspended sediment (SS) concentrations on ...

White spot syndrome virus host range and impact on transmission
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1843-1860, September 2022., 2022 Abstract White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the etiological agent of white spot disease (WSD), is a significant pathogen affecting shrimp farming industry worldwide. White spot syndrome virus is a generalist virus mainly infecting decapod crustaceans. The aims of this review were to: (1) Re‐evaluate and update the status of reported WSSV host and vector

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 908-919, July 2022., 2022 This study explored environmental DNA detection via qPCR as an approach for monitoring freshwater bivalve Nodularia nipponensis. After validation of primer specificity and the qPCR detection method, we determined environmental DNA release and decay rates in tank experiments under different bivalve densities.

TransPi—a comprehensive TRanscriptome ANalysiS PIpeline for de novo transcriptome assembly
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 5, Page 2070-2086, July 2022., 2022 Abstract The use of RNA sequencing (RNA‐Seq) data and the generation of de novo transcriptome assemblies have been pivotal for studies in ecology and evolution. This is especially true for nonmodel organisms, where no genome information is available.
