Multixenobiotic resistance protein expression in Mytilus edulis, M. galloprovincialis and Crassostrea gigas from the French coasts
Multixenobiotic resistance (MXR) is a membrane-transport mechanism that allows organisms to exclude many compounds from their cells and tissues. It is thus a first line of defence against a variety of toxic compounds. Since mussels and oysters possess MXR proteins, an analysis of the expression level of these membrane-transporters has been conducted in relation to their body burden of some majo...

متن کاملAssortative fertilization and selection at larval stage in the mussels Mytilus edulis and M. galloprovincialis.
Assortative mating (prezygotic isolation) and reduced hybrid fitness (postzygotic isolation) are typically invoked to explain the stability of hybrid zones. In the tension zone model, these factors work in opposition to migration, which promotes genetic homogeneity. Many marine animals migrate over long distances through a planktonic larval stage. Therefore, strong reproductive isolation is nee...
متن کاملPredator-induced defenses differ between sympatric Mytilus edulis and M. trossulus
This is the first study to compare defenses to predation in closely related species of Mytilus and draws attention to the role of predation in determining their distribution, abundance and co-existence. We experimentally determined whether 2 blue mussel species, Mytilus edulis and M. trossulus, that co-exist within a hybrid zone in Newfoundland, Canada, differ in their predator-induced response...
متن کاملEcological Genetics of the Mussels Mytilus edulis and M. galloprovincialis on Irish Coasts
Genetic polymorphism at the loci encoding the enzymes phosphoglucose isomerase, leucine aminopeptidase and phosphoglucomutase was investigated in Irish Mytilus populations. Allele frequencies and heterozygote proportions indicated that populations on exposed Atlantic coasts differed from those on sheltered Atlantic coasts, and from Irish Sea mussels. When compared with data on M. edulis collect...
