The Proteomic Response of Gill Tissue in Tidally and Subtidally-Acclimated California Mussels, Mytilus californianus, to Acute Emersion-Induced Anoxia
<p>Intertidal mussels regularly experience emersion-induced anoxia, in contrast to normoxic conditions experienced during submersion. We therefore hypothesized that acclimation to a tidal rhythm, as opposed to a rhythm of constant submersion, preconditions the proteome of the California mussel, …

Sea Star Wasting Disease in Pisaster Ochraceus on the Washington Coast and in Puget Sound
… coast sea star whose predation of <em>Mytilus californianus </em>(the California mussel) increases the biodiversity of its intertidal community. Sea star wasting disease is an illness that causes sea star tissues to become necrotic until the creature wastes away and dies. In 2013, a coast wide …

Circadian and Circatidal Rhythms of Protein Abundance in the Intertidal Mussel Mytilus californianus
… At the cellular level, transcriptomic studies on mussels’ baseline circadian and circatidal rhythms have determined that the circadian rhythm is the dominant transcriptional rhythm. However, as proteins reflect the basic molecular phenotype of an organism and their abundance may differ greatly …

Effects of intertidal height and infestation by Fabia Subquadrata Dana on glycogen, lipid and body component indices of Mytilus Californianus Conrad
<p>As our knowledge of bivalves has increased, so has information about their parasites. Most studies of bivalve parasites have been devoted to groups infesting commercially important mollusks, notably trematodes and copepods. Another group of bivalve symbionts which has been known since the early …

Reproductive ecology of the California sea mussel, Mytilus californianus Conrad
… ecology and larval development of Mytilus californianus. Mytilus californianus is the common mussel found along the more exposed west coast of North America from the Aleutian Islands south Isla Socorro, Mexico (Soot-Ryen, 1955) and was chosen because it is an important species in rocky …
