Gene expression in the intertidal mussel Mytilus californianus: physiological response to environmental factors on a biogeographic scale
We used a cDNA microarray to profile gene expression in the intertidal mussel Mytilus californianus across major portions of its biogeographic range. Overall, the expression pattern for the majority of genes assessed in this study varied significantly as a function of collection site and provides support for the hypothesis that the physiological response to emersion is distinct across populatio...
متن کاملOcean Acidification Has Multiple Modes of Action on Bivalve Larvae
Ocean acidification (OA) is altering the chemistry of the world's oceans at rates unparalleled in the past roughly 1 million years. Understanding the impacts of this rapid change in baseline carbonate chemistry on marine organisms needs a precise, mechanistic understanding of physiological responses to carbonate chemistry. Recent experimental work has shown shell development and growth in some ...
متن کاملMaking the most of fragments: a method for estimating shell length from fragmentary mussels (Mytilus californianus and Mytilus trossulus) on the Pacific Coast of North America
California mussel (Mytilus californianus) are ubiquitous shellfish species in coastal archaeological sites throughout western North America but are often highly fragmentary when recovered in small-volume ‘column’ or ‘bulk’ samples typically used to quantify shellfish assemblages. Archaeological research has predominantly focused on evaluating the dietary contribution of Mytilus but most studies...
متن کاملSpatial patterns of growth in the mussel, Mytilus californianus, across a major oceanographic and biogeographic boundary at Point Conception, California, USA
The Point Conception, California, USA region (hereafter PC) is one of the most important biogeographic and oceanographic discontinuities on the US west coast. Here we address how mesoscale oceanographic variability in the region around PC affects the growth of the competitively dominant species in the rocky intertidal assemblage: the mussel Mytilus californianus. Strong upwelling and high wave ...
متن کاملThe Effects of Anthropogenic Copper on the Native Marine Mussel Mytilus Californianus in Spud Point Marina, Bodega Bay, California
Established marinas act as gateways for human impact on the natural environment. One of the major ways this occurs is through the leaching of biocides from antifouling paints applied to marine vessels. These paints often contain copper, which can have an effect on non-target organisms, especially those in fouling communities within marinas. In this study, I hypothesized that the level of copper...
