| molecular detection of xenostrobus securis and mytillus galloprovincialis larvae in galician coast (spain). | the mussel species xenostrobus securis from new zealand was detected in the spanish coast recently, in the mouth of the verdugo river into the vigo ria. in view of the great importance of the farm mussel sector in this region, the presence of this alien species greatly concerned producers and administration authorities, because of its potential medium- or long-term effects on the autochthonous species, mytilus galloprovincialis, an important marine resource widely exploited in this location. the ... | 2007 | 17955295 |
| interspecies comparison of the mechanical properties and biochemical composition of byssal threads. | several bivalve species produce byssus threads to provide attachment to substrates, with mechanical properties highly variable among species. here, we examined the distal section of byssal threads produced by a range of bivalve species (mytilus edulis, mytilus trossulus, mytilus galloprovincialis, mytilus californianus, pinna nobilis, perna perna, xenostrobus securis, brachidontes solisianus and isognomon bicolor) collected from different nearshore environments. morphological and mechanical prop ... | 2017 | 28153979 |
| uptake and loss of dissolved 109cd and 75se in estuarine macroinvertebrates. | semaphore crabs (heloecius cordiformis), soldier crabs (mictyris platycheles), ghost shrimps (trypaea australiensis), pygmy mussels (xenostrobus securis), and polychaetes (eunice sp.), key benthic prey items of predatory fish commonly found in estuaries throughout southeastern australia, were exposed to dissolved (109)cd and (75)se for 385 h at 30 k bq/l (uptake phase), followed by exposure to radionuclide-free water for 189 h (loss phase). the whole body uptake rates of (75)se by pygmy mussels, ... | 2007 | 17182081 |
| barcodes of marine invertebrates from north iberian ports: native diversity and resistance to biological invasions. | ports are gateways for many marine organisms transported by ships worldwide, especially non-indigenous species (nis). in this study carried out in north iberian ports (cantabrian sea, bay of biscay) we have observed 38% of exotic macroinvertebrates. four species, namely the barnacle austrominius modestus, the tubeworm ficopomatus enigmaticus, the pacific oyster crassostrea gigas and the pygmy mussel xenostrobus securis, exhibited clear signs of invasiveness. a total of 671 barcode (cytochrome ox ... | 2016 | 27527375 |
