ABSTRACT During the past 2–3 decades, the spatiotemporal distribution of Mytilus spp. in
coastal waters of the North Atlantic has changed considerably. In general, reduced …

Simple Summary In recent decades, societies, states and local authorities have become
increasingly aware that for effective long-term management and protection of aquatic …

The study of hybrid zones offers important insights into speciation. Earlier studies on hybrid
populations of the marine mussel species Mytilus edulis and Mytilus galloprovincialis in SW …

The Arctic is experiencing particularly rapid rates of warming, consequently invasive boreal
species are now able to survive the less extreme Arctic winter temperatures. Whilst …

Non-indigenous species (NIS) in the Arctic have an increased likelihood of arrival from ship
traffic in the region, while the survival potential of the species becomes more likely in a …

The Mytilus complex of marine mussel species forms a mosaic of hybrid zones, found across
temperate regions of the globe. This allows us to study 'replicated'instances of secondary …

Blue mussels from the genus Mytilus are an abundant component of the benthic community,
found in the high latitude habitats. These foundation species are relevant to the aquaculture …

Human-mediated pressures, including bioinvasions, threaten the biotas of every continent.
Hybridization and introgression between invasive and native species may result in loss of …

The commercial mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis is invasive in the Southern Hemisphere
having a large impact on rocky shore communities. It recently appeared in the state of Santa …

Smooth-shelled blue mussels of the genus Mytilus have long been a major focus of research
because such mussels have an interesting global (antitropical or bipolar) distribution, have a …
