This review uses the marine bivalve Crassostrea gigas to highlight redox reactions and
control systems in species living in dynamic intertidal environments. Intertidal species face …

Functional trait–based mediation of animal invasions is only now developing, yet it is
already showing as much promise as the approach has for plant invasion biology. Here, we …

The periwinkle snail Echinolittorina malaccana, for which the upper lethal temperature is
near 55° C, is one of the most heat-tolerant eukaryotes known. We conducted a multi-level …

Interest on the effects of emerging contaminants over aquatic organisms has increased in
the last years. Nonetheless, the toxic action of classical natural and anthropogenically …

Bivalves are nutritious animal protein source for humans, rich in high quality proteins, lipids,
and carbohydrates. Many studies have shown that ocean warming has detrimental effects …

In the past decade, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill triggered a spike in investigatory effort on
the effects of crude oil chemicals, most notably polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), on …

Synergistic effects of warming on bioconcentration and receptiveness of pollutants are still
poorly unravelled in conjunction with cellular and molecular responses. The present study …

Globally, non-native species (NNS) have been introduced and now often entirely replace
native species in captive aquaculture; in part, a result of a perceived greater resilience of …

Preparation for oxidative stress (POS) is a widespread adaptive response to harsh
environmental conditions, whose hallmark is the upregulation of antioxidants. In contrast to …

Coastal areas, such as estuaries and coastal lagoons, are among the most endangered
aquatic ecosystems due to the intense anthropogenic activities occurring in their vicinity …
