Local adaptation and species segregation in two mussel (Mytilus edulis x Mytilus trossulus) hybrid zones.
Few marine hybrid zones have been studied extensively, the major exception being the hybrid zone between the mussels Mytilus edulis and Mytilus galloprovincialis in southwestern Europe. Here, we focus on two less studied hybrid zones that also involve Mytilus spp.; Mytilus edulis and Mytilus trossulus are sympatric and hybridize on both western and eastern coasts of the Atlantic Ocean. We revie...

متن کاملCadmium-binding proteins in the mussel, Mytilus edulis.
Inducible cadmium-binding proteins (Cd-BP) in the mussel, Mytilus edulis, were resolved into two molecular weight components, designated Cd-BP10 and Cd-BP20, by gel-permeation chromatography on Sephadex G-75. Each of these two molecular weight components were further resolved into four subcomponents by DEAE-ion-exchange chromatography. All eight subcomponents bound cadmium and exhibited signifi...
متن کاملMercury-binding proteins from the marine mussel, Mytilus edulis.
The marine mussel, Mytilus edulis, possesses low molecular weight, metal-binding proteins which can be induced by and, in turn, bind mercury when individuals are exposed to low, but elevated concentrations of mercury as HgCl2. Induction of the proteins by exposure of mussels to copper, cadmium, or mercury is associated with enhanced tolerance to mercury toxicity. Mercury-binding proteins isolat...
متن کاملMale and female mitochondrial DNA lineages in the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) species group.
In blue mussels of the Mytilus edulis species complex, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) inheritance is coupled with gender. Females receive their mother's mtDNA and pass it on to both their daughters and sons. In addition, males receive mtDNA from their father and transmit this male mtDNA to their sons. If this pattern of "doubly uniparental inheritance" is older than the M. edulis species complex, th...
