  • Marine Animal Behaviour in a High CO2 Ocean
    Vol. 536: 259–279, 2015 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published September 29 doi: 10.3354/meps11426 Mar Ecol Prog Ser REVIEW Marine animal behaviour in a high CO2 ocean Jeff C. Clements*, Heather L. Hunt Department of Biology, University of New Brunswick Saint John Campus, 100 Tucker Park Road, Saint John E2L 4L5, NB, Canada ABSTRACT: Recently, the effects of ocean acidification (OA) on marine animal behaviour have garnered considerable attention, as they can impact biological interactions and, in turn, ecosystem structure and functioning. We reviewed current published literature on OA and marine behaviour and synthesize current understanding of how a high CO2 ocean may impact animal behaviour, elucidate critical unknowns, and provide suggestions for future research. Although studies have focused equally on vertebrates and invertebrates, vertebrate studies have primarily focused on coral reef fishes, in contrast to the broader diversity of invertebrate taxa studied. A quantitative synthesis of the direction and magnitude of change in behaviours from current conditions under OA scenarios suggests primarily negative impacts that vary depending on species, ecosystem, and behaviour. The interactive effects of co-occurring environmental parameters with increasing CO2 elicit effects different from those observed under elevated CO2 alone. Although 12% of studies have incorporated multiple factors, only one study has examined the effects of carbonate system variability on the behaviour of a marine animal. Altered GABAA receptor functioning under elevated CO2 appears responsible for many behavioural responses; however, this mechanism is unlikely to be universal. We recommend a new focus on determining the effects of elevated CO2 on marine animal behaviour in the context of multiple environmental drivers and future carbonate system variability, and the mechanisms governing the association between acid-base regulation and GABAA receptor functioning.

Bustamante, email address : [email protected] blisher-authenticated version is av Abstract: The uptake and loss kinetics of Cd were determined in two species of scallops from the European coasts, the variegated scallop Chlamys varia and the king scallop Pecten maximus, following exposures via seawater, phytoplankton and sediment using highly sensitive radiotracer techniques (109Cd). Results indicate that, for seawater and dietary pathways, C. varia displays higher bioaccumulation capacities in terms of uptake rate from water and fraction absorbed from ingested food (assimilation efficiency) than Pecten maximus. Regarding sediment exposure, P. maximus displayed low steady-state Cd transfer factor (TFSS < 1); however, once incorporated, a very large part of Cd transferred from sediment (92%) was strongly retained within P. maximus tissues. Both species showed a high retention capacity for Cd (biological half-life, Tb1/2 > 4 months), suggesting efficient mechanisms of detoxification and storage in both species.

  • Pectínidos De Las Aguas De Castellón: Faunística, Taxonomía Y Evolución
    71 Vol.NEMUS 2 2012 Pectínidos de las aguas de Castellón: faunística, taxonomía y evolución Juan B. Peña1 y Carlos Saavedra2 En la costa de Castellón existe un banco natural de pectínidos del que se extraen ejemplares adultos de vieira por las embarcaciones de arrastre, aunque las capturas no son importantes. En el proceso de captación de semillas dentro del banco natural, mediante el fondeo de colectores filamentosos, se han encontrado otras once especies de pectínidos, realizándose unas claves dicotómicas para diferenciar las semillas de pocos milímetros. Recientemente se han utilizado técnicas de biología molecular para diferenciar los pectínidos y estudiar su evolución. Palabras clave: bivalvos, vieiras, morfología, sistemática, biogeografía, filogenia molecular, datación molecular, Mediterráneo. Pectinidae off Castellón (Spain) coast: fauna, taxonomy and evolution In the Castellón coast there is a natural population of scallops that are caught by trawlers, though the catch- es are not important. During the spat settlement experiments in the scallop population ground, by means of the deployment of filamentous collectors, a total of 12 scallop species were caught and classified. We describe a dichotomy keys to elucidate these 12 spat species of very few millimeters in shell length. Recently, some molecular techniques have been used to differentiate the scallop species and to study their evolution.

  • Comparative Large-Scale Mitogenomics Evidences Clade-Specific Evolutionary Trends in Mitochondrial Dnas of Bivalvia
    GBE Comparative Large-Scale Mitogenomics Evidences Clade-Specific Evolutionary Trends in Mitochondrial DNAs of Bivalvia Federico Plazzi*, Guglielmo Puccio, and Marco Passamonti Department of Biological, Geological and Environmental Sciences, University of Bologna, via Selmi, 3 – 40126 Bologna, Italy *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected]. Accepted: July 31, 2016 Abstract Despite the figure of complete bivalve mitochondrial genomes keeps growing, an assessment of the general features of these genomes in a phylogenetic framework is still lacking, despite the fact that bivalve mitochondrial genomes are unusual under different aspects. In this work, we constructed a dataset of one hundred mitochondrial genomes of bivalves to perform the first systematic comparative mitogenomic analysis, developing a phylogenetic background to scaffold the evolutionary history of the class’ mito- chondrial genomes. Highly conserved domains were identified in all protein coding genes; however, four genes (namely, atp6, nad2, nad4L,andnad6) were found to be very divergent for many respects, notwithstanding the overall purifying selection working on those genomes. Moreover, the atp8 gene was newly annotated in 20 mitochondrial genomes, where it was previously declared as lacking or only signaled. Supernumerary mitochondrial proteins were compared, but it was possible to find homologies only among strictly related species. The rearrangement rate on the molecule is too high to be used as a phylogenetic marker, but here we demonstrate for the first time in mollusks that there is correlation between rearrangement rates and evolutionary rates. We also developed a new index (HERMES) to estimate the amount of mitochondrial evolution. Many genomic features are phylogenetically congruent and this allowed us to highlight three main phases in bivalve history: the origin, the branching of palaeoheterodonts, and the second radiation leading to the present-day biodiversity.
