Biotic resistance on muddy shores? Native epibiotic barnacles impose costs on non-native snails
Organisms that settle and grow on other organisms (i.e., epibionts) are often costly to their hosts in terms of locomotion, growth, and/or...

The annual gametogenic cycle of the rock oyster, Saccostrea cucullata, from the Persian Gulf
The oyster Saccostrea cucullata (a native oyster of the Persian Gulf) is one of the most valuable edible species that is currently a candidate for...

Seasonal changes in biodiversity of native and non-native amphipod taxa under diverse environmental contexts
Anthropogenic disturbances are having strong, negative effects on aquatic systems globally, altering ecological communities and potentially creating...

Exploring substrate associations of the non-native anemone Diadumene lineata on an open ocean coast in the SW Atlantic
Diadumene lineata is one of the most widely distributed sea anemones in the world. It is usually found in estuaries, gulfs and bays over a broad...

Extensive spatial impacts of oyster reefs on an intertidal mudflat community via predator facilitation
Habitat engineers make strong and far-reaching imprints on ecosystem processes. In intertidal mudflats, the dominant primary producer,...

Global warming scenarios for the Eastern Adriatic Sea indicate a higher risk of invasiveness of non-native marine organisms relative to current climate conditions
Globally, marine bioinvasions threaten marine ecosystem structure and function, with the Mediterranean Sea being one of the most affected regions....

Native tube-building polychaete prefers to anchor non-native alga over other macrophytes
Novel facultative mutualisms that develop between native and non-native ecosystem engineers can lead to the retention of the non-native partner. In...

Genetic Structure and Diversity in Wild and Cultivated Populations of the Mangrove Oyster Crassostrea gasar from Southern Brazil
The mangrove oyster ( Crassostrea gasar ) is Brazil’s second most cultured species and presents a high potential for aquaculture. However, artificial...

Polydorid species (Annelida: Spionidae) associated with commercially important oyster shells and their shell infestation along the coast of Normandy, in the English Channel, France
Polydorid species (Annelida, Spionidae), which inhabit the shells of the commercially important oyster Crassostrea gigas , were investigated along the...

Density-dependent predation and predator preference for native prey may facilitate an invasive crab’s escape from natural enemies
Native predators can confer biotic resistance through consumption of invasive prey. However, early in the invasion process, native predators may...

Microbiomes of the Sydney Rock Oyster are acquired through both vertical and horizontal transmission
BackgroundThe term holobiont is widely accepted to describe animal hosts and their associated microorganisms. The genomes of all that the holobiont...

Seagrass-driven changes in carbonate chemistry enhance oyster shell growth
Quantifying the strength of non-trophic interactions exerted by foundation species is critical to understanding how natural communities respond to...
-
Diversification of the aquaporin family in geographical isolated oyster species promote the adaptability to dynamic environments
BackgroundThe diversified aquaporin (AQP) family that was derived from gene duplication and subsequent functional differentiation play critical roles...

Global controversy in oyster systematics and a newly described species from SE Asia (Bivalvia: Ostreidae: Crassostreinae)
The diversity of native oysters in many regions is overshadowed by the global dominance of a few economically important species. Here we describe the...
