Morphometric analysis of biogenic recording structures within marine organisms has
applications in stock assessment, taxonomics, and ecomorphological studies, with shape …

Determining the geographical origin of seafood is crucial for regulators and fishing
industries who seek to prevent commercial fraud, enforce food safety regulations, and …

Aquatic hypoxia is generally viewed as stressful for aerobic organisms. However, hypoxia
may also benefit organisms by decreasing cellular stress, particularly that related to free …

The pattern of shell shape variation in populations of the mussel, Mytilus chilensis (Hupe
1854) from Southern Chile was analyzed as a function of sample origin (cultivated vs. wild) …

We studied freshwater molluscan communities and the reproduction of the pea clam
Pisidium casertanum in three types of Arctic lakes. The lakes differed in limnological …

Predictions of radionuclide dose rates to freshwater organisms can be used to evaluate the
radiological environmental impacts of releases from uranium mining and milling projects …

Abstract Background In Morocco, many uncertainties surround the current diversity and
distribution of the bivalve family Sphaeriidae. Such information, including taxonomy and …

Bivalve molluscs are characterized by high morphological plasticity in response to variations
in local environmental conditions. In the present study, we evaluate this capacity in the …

The pattern of shell shape variation in populations of the top shell, Phorcus sauciatus from
Madeira Island (NE Atlantic) was analysed as a function of substrate type and wave …

The morphological plasticity of bivalve species may impair their correct identification.
Pisidium species (Sphaeriidae) are difficult to distinguish, notably the common pea clam …
