Mitochondrial DNA Reveals Genetic Structuring of Pinna nobilis across the Mediterranean Sea
Pinna nobilis is the largest endemic Mediterranean marine bivalve. During past centuries, various human activities have promoted the regression of its populations. As a consequence of stringent standards of protection, demographic expansions are currently reported in many sites. The aim of this study was to provide the first large broad-scale insight into the genetic variability of P. nobilis i...
متن کاملHighly polymorphic microsatellite markers for the Mediterranean endemic fan mussel Pinna nobilis
Pinna nobilis is an endemic bivalve of the Mediterranean Sea whose populations have decreased in the last decades due to human pressure; as a consequence, it was declared a protected species in 1992. Despite its conservation status, few genetic studies using mitochondrial markers have been published. We report on the isolation and development of 10 microsatellite loci for the fan mussel, Pinna ...
متن کاملAssesing Heavy Metals in the Marine Bivalve Pinna Nobilis in the Balearic Islands (western Mediterranean)
Heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb and Zn) concentration were determined in the marine bivalve Pinna nobilis along the Balearic Islands, comparing a protected area with two sites with strong anthropogenic influence. Analyses of Cabrera and Mallorca indicated that heavy metal concentration were generally higher in the most of samples, specially in Santa Maria bay (Cabrera, MPA), and Magaluf (Mallorca,...
متن کاملSTABLE-ISOTOPE SIGNATURES (dC AND dN) OF DIFFERENT TISSUES OF PINNA NOBILIS LINNAEUS, 1758 (BIVALVIA): ISOTOPIC VARIATIONS AMONG TISSUES AND BETWEEN SEASONS
The fan mussel Pinna nobilis is a rapidly growing suspension-feeding bivalve endemic to the Mediterranean Sea and usually inhabits seagrass meadows. This endangered bivalve assimilates carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios in tissues from its food sources. The dC and dN signatures were used to demonstrate isotopic variation among three tissues (digestive gland, gills and muscle) and (for digestiv...
متن کاملThe byssus threads of Pinna nobilis: A histochemical and ultrastructural study
The byssus of Pinna nobilis, the largest bivalve mollusc in the Mediterranean Sea, was investigated by histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). At low magnification, the byssus threads appeared distinctively elliptical in cross-section, with a typical size approaching 50 x 25 micron and a ...
