Sibling species in the sea

TL;DR: A large number of abundant, well-studied, or economically important taxa have recently been shown to be complexes of sibling species, and the broad habitat and geographic distributions characteristic of many marine species require reevaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biomonitoring of heavy metal availability in the marine environment

TL;DR: It is not valid to compare absolute accumulated metal concentrations in biomonitors interspecifically, although interspecific comparisions of rank orders do allow cross correlations of relative bioavailabilities of heavy metals to different biomonitor at the same sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cosmopolitan biomonitors of trace metals

TL;DR: Rainbow and Phillips as mentioned in this paper have extensive experience of biomonitoring worldwide, and are co-authors of the recent book entitled Biomonitorsing of Trace Aquatic Contaminants.

Nonindigenous aquatic species in a United States estuary: a case study of the biological invasions of the San Francisco Bay and delta

TL;DR: The San Francisco Bay/Delta Estuary hosts more non-indigenous species than are known for any other estuary, with 212 established species, 15 species too recently arrived to determine whether they have become established, and 125 cryptogenic species as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The proteomic response of the mussel congeners Mytilus galloprovincialis and M. trossulus to acute heat stress: implications for thermal tolerance limits and metabolic costs of thermal stress.

TL;DR: The expression patterns of proteins involved in molecular chaperoning, proteolysis, energy metabolism, oxidative damage, cytoskeleton and deacetylation revealed a common loci of heat stress in both mussels but also showed a lower sensitivity to high-temperature damage in the warm-adapted M. galloprovincialis, which is consistent with its expanding range in warmer waters.
