The shallow water benthic foraminifer Amphistegina lessonii was grown in seawater of variable Li and Ca concentration and shell Li/Ca was determined by means of LA-ICPMS. Shell Li/Ca is positively correlated to seawater Li/Ca only when the Li concentration of seawater i...

A family of unified models in scattering from rough surfaces is based on local corrections of the tangent plane approximation through higher-order derivatives of the surface. We revisit these methods in a common framework when the correction is limited to the curvature,...

Abstract Swim performance is considered a main fitness‐determining trait in many aquatic organisms. Swimming is generally the only way most aquatic prey can escape predation, and swimming capacity is directly linked to food capture, habitat shifts, and reproduction. The...

The Manila clam presents a large polymorphism for shell colours and patterns. No experiment has been conducted to study the determinism of such a polymorphism which has been well known for a long time. The aim of this study was firstly to determine the genetic variation...

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The shell of the pearl-producing bivalve <it>Pinctada margaritifera </it>is composed of an organic cell-free matrix that plays a key role in the dynamic process of biologically-controlled biomineralization. In order to increase genom...

The marine mussel Mytilus edulis and its closely related sister species are distributed world-wide and play an important role in coastal ecology and economy. The diversification in different species and their hybrids, broad ecological distribution, as well as the filter...

Abstract: In the past several years we have observed a significant increase in our understanding of molecular mechanisms that drive lung cancer. Specifically in the non-small cell lung cancer sub-types. ALK gene rearrangements represent a sub-group of tumors that are ta...

Abstract The role of the food orosensory properties on protein (P), fat (F) and carbohydrate (CH) self-selection was investigated in fish fed gelatine capsules containing pure macronutrients. A total of 40 sea bass (39.6±6.2 g initial body weight) distributed in eight 7...

The relationship between physical properties of the water column and spatial patchiness of phytoplankton spring bloom development on the Greenland shelf edge and in the Irminger Sea was investigated using data collected during a spring cruise (April and May 2002). The o...

The upper-layer circulation in the eastern basin of the South Atlantic was studied from hydrographic and direct velocity measurements along WOCE lines A11, A13 and A14. A13 and A14 provide quasi-meridional samplings of the equatorial, subequatorial and subtropical circu...

Global change has led to manifold changes of marine ecosystems and biodiversity world-wide. While it has been shown that certain jellyfish and comb jelly species have increased regionally, it remains to be investigated if this is a general trend or localized phenomenon....

Le Golfe du Lion et le Bassin Provençal sont l’objet de recherche intensive à toute échelle de temps et d’espace. Cependant, les budgets sédimentaires et les mouvements verticaux depuis la formation de la marge étaient restés inconnus ou sources de controverses. Ce trav...

The pan-regional Working Group on Multispecies Assessment Methods (WGSAM) met in San Sebastian, Spain, 16–20 October 2017. In this eleventh report of the group, work focused on three of the multi-annual ToRs (B, C, D). Based on their knowledge, participants provided an ...

Die Laptev-See Polynjen spielen eine Schlüsselrolle für den arktischen Meereishaushalt aufgrund der starken Eisproduktion und des windgetriebenen Eisexportes von der Laptev-See in die zentrale Arktis. Für dieWinter 2007 bis 2009 haben wir mit dem Ozean-Meereismodell ...

El mar Mediterráneo muestra un patrón de aumento de la temperatura y disminución de la productividad de la cuenca occidental a la oriental. En este trabajo se investiga si este patrón se refleja en las comunidades de cefalópodos que habitan el Mediterráneo. Se utilizaro...

Open water and thin ice areas, known as coastal polynyas, form along the Antarctic coastline and allow continued interaction between the ocean and atmosphere throughout the sea ice advance season. Coastal polynyas are the most productive locations of sea ice formation, ...

Les travaux commencés en 1973 avec la collaboration de Y. Koike sur la production artificielle d'Haliotis tuberculata devaient définir les aspects scientifiques et technologiques liés à l'obtention de juvéniles d'un an, non pas dans un but de repeuplement comme dans le ...

Laboratory bioassays have been performed. using toxic P. tamarensis mass cultures (MOG 835), in order to assess potential depuration kinetics of PSP contamined cultured blue mussels. Besides, from fields observations and translocation experiences to safe area, we have s...
