  • The Histopathology of Antique Ark's Mantle (Anadara Antiquata) Post
    The histopathology of antique ark’s mantle (Anadara antiquata) post-depuration with the shells’ filtration Nabila A. Putri, Laksmi Sulmartiwi, Kustiawan T. Pursetyo Faculty of Fisheries and Marine, Universitas Airlangga, 60115, Surabaya, Indonesia. Corresponding author: L. Sulmartiwi, [email protected] Abstract. Cockles are marine organisms which have the character of filter feeders so that heavy metals can be neutralized naturally through their shells. However, not all heavy metals can be neutralized, so depuration needs to be done. After depuration, histopathological analysis is needed to determine the condition of the soft tissue of the shells so that the disease can be diagnosed through structural changes that occur in the organs that are the main target of pollutants. This study aims to determine the histopathology of antique ark’s mantle (Anadara antiquata) after post-depuration with the filtration of the cockles’ shells. This research method applies an experimental method with scoring histological damage to antique ark’s mantle that ranges from 0 to 3, depending on the level and extent of the changes that occur. After that, the distribution of normal and non-homogeneous data was obtained, and then the Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test was conducted. The main parameter is the histopathology of the antique ark’s mantle. Supporting parameters include water quality, namely temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, salinity, levels of heavy metals Pb and Cd, total suspended solid (TSS) and total dissolved solid (TDS). The results of the Kruskal-Wallis statistical analysis shows no significant difference between treatments P0 (Control), P1 (Filter 25%), P2 (Filter 50%), P3 (Filter 75%), and P4 (Filter 100%).

Morphological and molecular analysis allowed clarifying the confused taxonomy of the largest alien ark clam species invading Italian waters and the Mediterranean Sea. Analysis of the distribution and density data demonstrated that, along the Italian coast, A. kagoshimensis is mostly found at depths of 8 to 50 m, with a catch frequency of more than 98% in the hauls involving silty-clay sediment at a depth of 8-30 m. The hotspot map clearly shows a reduction in the distribution area of the species from 2010 to 2012.

Memoirs of the Queensland Museum 45(1):1-164. Brisbane. ISSN 0079-8835. Published reports of protozoan species from Australian animals have been compiled into a host- parasite checklist, a parasite-host checklist and a cross-referenced bibliography. Protozoa listed include parasites, commensals and symbionts but free-living species have been excluded. Over 590 protozoan species are listed including amoebae, flagellates, ciliates and ‘sporozoa’ (the latter comprising apicomplexans, microsporans, myxozoans, haplosporidians and paramyxeans). Organisms are recorded in association with some 520 hosts including mammals, marsupials, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates. Information has been abstracted from over 1,270 scientific publications predating 1999 and all records include taxonomic authorities, synonyms, common names, sites of infection within hosts and geographic locations.

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract The process of Near Eastern neolithization and its westward expansion from the core zone in the Levant and upper Mesopotamia has been broadly discussed in recent decades, and many models have been developed to describe the spread of early farming in terms of its timing, structure, geography and sociocultural impact. Until now, based on recent intensive investigations in northwestern and western Anatolia, the discussion has mainly centred on the importance of Anatolian inland routes for the westward spread of neolithization. This contribution focuses on the potential impact of east Mediterranean and Aegean maritime networks on the spread of the Neolithic lifestyle to the western edge of the Anatolian subcontinent in the earliest phases of sedentism.

Predation involves boring a hole through the shell of the prey, which provides the opportunity for beach collections of shells to be used to determine feeding preferences of predators in nature.

  • Common Fishes of the Hudson-Raritan Estuary
    THE BIOLOGY OF THE HUDSON-RARITAN ESTUARY: A MARINE EDUCATION PROGRAM Produced by the Staff of the Education Program at the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium Building 22, Fort Hancock Sandy Hook, New Jersey 07732 Funded by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation and the New Jersey Sea Grant College Program N,J,SeaGrantProgram PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Hudson-Raritan Estuary encompasses the waters of New York Harbor and the tidally influenced portions of all of the rivers and streams that empty into it.The Estuary is an extraordinary resource and a biologically rich ecosystem. However, as the site of extensive human activity, it has experienced significant ecological stress. Presently, the Estuary is threatened by increasing pollution and overuse of its resources. Although much information has been made available in recent years about human use of the marine resources of the Hudson-Raritan Estuary, it is scattered among technical and semi- technical reports, scientific journals, newsletter and magazine articles and other documents produced by federal and state agencies, private environmental organizations, and academic programs. Educational materials related to the Estuary are typically geared towards users such as commercial and recreational fishers, environmentalists, college students, or the general public. Educational materials related to the Estuary for teachers and students are lacking. To address this need, the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium undertook a project funded by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation and the New Jersey Sea Grant College Program to develop an interdisciplinary marine education program on the biology of the Hudson-Raritan Estuary.It is the goal of this project to enable teachers to introduce middle and high school students to the important resources of the Estuary, allowing them to understand why the United States Environmental Protection Agency has designated the Hudson-Raritan Estuary one of national significance.

  • The Evidence for Evolution the Evidence For
    The Evidence for Evolution The Evidence for The modern biological de nition of evolution is inherited change within a lin- Evolution eage. There is extensive evidence, provided by all elds of biological study Diversity, Complexity, & that evolution has and is still occurring. The evidence is all around us, if we choose to look for it. Diversity, complexity, and adaptation are three observable Adaptation phenomena that, when viewed together and within context of Earth’s history, provide powerful evidence of evolution. Paleontology Ecology In the following sections, each biological eld is introduced along with the main tools that researchers in that eld use in studying evolution. Then some of the Anatomy associated evidence for bivalve evolution is discussed in terms of diversity, Developmental Biology complexity, and adaptation. Each biological eld is discussed independently, however in reality, these elds are not isolated. For example, paleontology is Genetics & Molecular a eld of its own, but paleontologists use information from many other elds of Biology biology to fully understand the fossil record. The evidence provided by fossils of the Cambrian Period is all the more powerful when understood within the ad- Evolutionary Biology ditional context of the morphological evidence and ecology of the time period, etc. Methods Used in Studying Evolution biodiversity • The variety and vari- ability among living organisms and Diversity, Complexity, & Adaptation the ecological complexes in which they occur. Diversity niche • The specific ecological role Biological diversity or biodiversity is the collection of all the differences among that an organism inhabits. life forms within an ecosystem. When organisms are signi cantly different from one another, they are considered different species, so it is often easiest to dis- cuss biodiversity in terms of species numbers (also called species richness).
