Phenotypic variability in byssus thread production of intertidal mussels induced by predators with different feeding strategies
(INTER-RESEARCH, 2008)
Predator-induced defenses have a significant influence on the expression of morphological and behavioral traits of marine species. In mussels, common responses to predators include thickening of the shell, enlargement of ...
Exposure to crack cocaine causes adverse effects on marine mussels Perna perna
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-10-15)
Our study aimed to evaluate crack cocaine effects in different life stages of the marine mussel Perna perm. For this purpose, fertilization rate, embryo-larval development, lysosomal membrane stability and DNA strand breaks ...
Analysis of marine bivalve shellfish from the fish market in Santos city, Sao Paulo state, Brazil, for Toxoplasma gondii
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010)
The aim of this study was to determine if Toxoplasma gondii are present in oysters (Crassostrea rhizophorae) and mussels (Mytella guyanensis) under natural conditions using a bioassay in mice and molecular detection methods. ...
Phenotypic variability in byssus thread production of intertidal mussels induced by predators with different feeding strategies
(2008)
Predator-induced defenses have a significant influence on the expression of morphological and behavioral traits of marine species. In mussels, common responses to predators include thickening of the shell, enlargement of ...
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Mussels from a South American Estuary
(Springer, 2017-03)
Bivalves, especially mussels, have been pointed as putative species to monitor polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in marine environment. After several environmental PAHs baseline reports, the present study was conducted ...
Seasonal and pollution-induced variations in biomarkers of transplanted mussels within the beagle channel
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011-06)
The occurrence of biomarker variations linked to environmental factors makes it difficult to distinguish the effect of pollution. In an attempt to evaluate spatial and seasonal effects of environmental parameters on biomarker ...
Plasticity and trade-offs in physiological traits of intertidal mussels subjected to freshwater-induced environmental variation.
Environmental gradients play an important role in shaping geographic variability in coastal marine populations. Thus, the ability of organisms to cope with these changes will depend on their potential to acclimatize, or ...
Intertidal mussels as ecosystem engineers: their associated invertebrate biodiversity under contrasting wave exposures
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014-02)
Mussels often act as ecosystem engineers in rocky intertidal habitats, favoring the occurrence of many small invertebrates by increasing habitat complexity and improving local environmental conditions. This study tests the ...
Vanadium biomonitoring by using Perna perna (Linnaeus, 1758) mussels transplanted in the coast of the State of So Paulo, Brazil
(SPRINGERDORDRECHT, 2012)
The increased pollution in the aquatic ecosystem has led to the investigation of toxic elements in sea water by using marine organisms to assess marine pollution from human activities. Among these organisms, the mollusks ...
