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 …

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

Human‐mediated biological transfers of species have substantially modified many
ecosystems with profound environmental and economic consequences. However, in many …

Semi-sessile Mytilus mussels are used as indicators of climate changes, but their
geographic distribution is not sufficiently known in the Arctic. The aim of this study was to …

The shells of marine mollusks represent promising metagenomic archives of the past,
adding to bones, teeth, hairs, and environmental samples most commonly examined in …

Two blue mussel lineages of Pliocene origin, Mytilus edulis (ME) and M. trossulus (MT), co-
occur and hybridize in several regions on the shores of the North Atlantic. The two species …

Human-mediated pressures, including bioinvasions, threaten the biotas of every continent.
Hybridization and introgression between invasive and native species may result in loss of …

The novel machine learning technique Random Forest (RF) was used to test if the genetic
differentiation of populations of marine species may be related to any of the key …

The commercial mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis is invasive in the Southern Hemisphere
having a large impact on rocky shore communities. It recently appeared in the state of Santa …

Background Large numbers of endemic species inhabit subantarctic continental coasts and
islands that are characterised by highly variable environmental conditions. Southern …
