Comparison of gamete compatibility between two blue mussel species in sympatry and in allopatry.
Recent demonstrations of positive selection on genes controlling gamete compatibility have resulted in a proliferation of hypotheses concerning the sources of selection. We tested a prediction of one prominent hypothesis, selection to avoid hybridization (i.e., reinforcement), by comparing heterospecific gamete compatibility in two Mytilus edulis populations: one population in Cobscook Bay, Mai...
متن کاملElemental Fingerprinting of Mussel Shells to Predict Population Sources and Redistribution Potential in the Gulf of Maine
As the climate warms, species that cannot tolerate changing conditions will only persist if they undergo range shifts. Redistribution ability may be particularly variable for benthic marine species that disperse as pelagic larvae in ocean currents. The blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, has recently experienced a warming-related range contraction in the southeastern USA and may face limitations to no...
متن کاملImpact assessment of an invasive flatworm, Convoluta convoluta, in the Southern Gulf of Maine
Convoluta convoluta (Abildgaard 1806) is a small (2–3 mm long) acoellous turbellarian flatworm from Europe that has invaded the Gulf of Maine within the last 5 years. Although it has been reported in densities of up to 19 individuals/cm, its ecological impact remains unknown. In its native habitat, it consumes harpacticoid copepods and primary settling mussels < 0.5-mm shell length. This study ...
متن کاملToxins from Adriatic blue mussels. A decade of studies*
A research program was initiated in 1990 to carefully examine the toxin profiles in mussels from the northern Adriatic Sea. Since then, a number of polyether toxins have been isolated and characterized, some of which represent new additions to the diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) class of biotoxins and seem to be peculiar to the Adriatic Sea. During our investigation of toxic Adriatic musse...
