The blue mussel (Mytilus spp.) is widely used as a bioindicator for monitoring of coastal
water pollution (mussel watch programs). Herein we provide a review of this study field with …

ABSTRACT During the past 2–3 decades, the spatiotemporal distribution of Mytilus spp. in
coastal waters of the North Atlantic has changed considerably. In general, reduced …

This review provides an overview of environmental studies and monitoring at mine sites in
Greenland since the first environmental studies were conducted in the early 1970s. Mining …

Climate changes in the Arctic are predicted to alter distributions of marine species. However,
such changes are difficult to quantify because information on present species distribution …

Large-scale climate changes influence the geographic distribution of biodiversity. Many taxa
have been reported to extend or reduce their geographic range, move poleward or displace …

Two lineages of bivalve transmissible neoplasia (BTN), BTN1 and BTN2, are known in blue
mussels Mytilus. Both lineages derive from the Pacific mussel M. trossulus and are identified …

The study of hybrid zones offers important insights into speciation. Earlier studies on hybrid
populations of the marine mussel species Mytilus edulis and Mytilus galloprovincialis in SW …

Gaining new knowledge of the native distributions of species (phylogeography) is more and
more difficult in a world affected by anthropogenic disturbance, in particular by species …

The Arctic is experiencing particularly rapid rates of warming, consequently invasive boreal
species are now able to survive the less extreme Arctic winter temperatures. Whilst …

Background Throughout the world, harvesting of mussels Mytilus spp. is based on the
exploitation of natural populations and aquaculture. Aquaculture activities include transfers …
