Reproductive ecology of the California sea mussel, Mytilus californianus Conrad
… reproductive 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 …

Circadian and Circatidal Rhythms of Protein Abundance in the Intertidal Mussel Mytilus californianus
… For this study, we acclimated intertidal <em>Mytilus californianus</em> to circadian (12:12 h light/dark cycle) and circatidal (6:6 h tidal cycle) conditions in a tidal simulator and sampled gill tissue from mussels every 2 h for 48 h for proteomic analysis. Approximately 86% of the proteins …

The role of protein metal complexes in the mechanics of Mytilus californianus byssal threads
… to probe the coordination environment of zinc in Mytilus californianus threads at various stages during stretching and subsequent healing. Analysis of the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) suggests that tensile deformation of threads is correlated with the rupture of Zn-coordination …

The Proteomic Response of Gill Tissue in Tidally and Subtidally-Acclimated California Mussels, Mytilus californianus, to Acute Emersion-Induced Anoxia
… the proteome of the California mussel, <em>Mytilus</em><em> </em><em>californianus</em>, to respond differently to emersion-induced anoxia. Following acclimation, mussels either continued to receive the acclimation conditions (control) or were exposed to 100% nitrogengas (anoxia) during …

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 …

Sea Star Wasting Disease in Pisaster Ochraceus on the Washington Coast and in Puget Sound
… west 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 …

Measuring and Forecasting Environmental Conditions From the Perspective of Rocky Intertidal Organisms
… distributions.</p> <p><strong>Hindcasting <em>Mytilus californianus</em> survival:</strong> <em>M. californianus</em> mussels were surveyed at sites distributed along 1500 km of coastline in the northeast Pacific and survival during heat waves was measured in laboratory studies. I found that …

Late Holocene Logistical and Residential Settlement in Interior Santa Rosa Island, California: A Comparative Analysis of Four Rockshelter Sites
… marine fauna), stable isotopic data from Mytilus californianus shell, and geospatial analysis (Euclidian distance and Hot Spot analysis). The first hypothesis is that during the late Middle Period and MLT, settlement was likely influenced by drought conditions of the MCA, in part …
