Few marine hybrid zones have been studied extensively, the major exception being the
hybrid zone between the mussels Mytilus edulis and Mytilus galloprovincialis in …

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 …

The increasing number and diversity of anthropogenic stressors in marine habitats have
multiple negative impacts on biological systems, biodiversity and ecosystem functions …

The three species of blue mussels, Mytilus trossulus Gould 1850, M. edulis Linnaeus 1758
and M. galloprovincialis Lamarck 1819, have distinct global distribution patterns that are …

The invasive marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis has displaced the native congener
Mytilus trossulus from central and southern California, but the native species remains …

In this study we test if calcite shells of the common mussel, Mytilus edulis, contain barium in
proportion to the water in which they grew. Similar to all bivalves analyzed to date, the …

The Mediterranean blue mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis, is an invasive species that has
displaced a congener, Mytilus trossulus, from its native range in central and southern …

A toxicity test was developed to examine the effects of heavy metal contaminants on the
early life stages of the marine polychaete. We have studied the effects of metals on …

Coastal embayments are at risk of impacts by climate change drivers such as ocean
warming, sea level rise and alteration in precipitation regimes. The response of the …

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 …
