The Genetic Impacts of Mytilus Galloprovincialis On M. Trossulus In Northern Japan
… the marine environment, the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis is a highly invasive species that has successfully invaded a number of geographic locations. This species has been shown to ecologically affect communities by outcompeting and displacing native species in both South Africa …

Ecological impacts of invasive mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) colonising the canopy of kelp forests in False Bay, South Africa
… plants and animals. The Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) is an aggressive invader that has been in South Africa since the late 1970s, and does not normally occur in the subtidal zone, however in 2016 this mussel was first observed growing on the heads and stipes of kelp plants …

Patterns of recruitment, growth and mortality of the mussel, Mytilus Galloprovincialis in relation to wave exposure and tidal elevation
Population patterns of the alien mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis were investigated at two locations on the west coast of South Africa: Camps Bay and Groenrivier. Specifically, wave exposure and zonation were examined for their effect on mussel cover and total density, mussel size and recruit …

The effects of microplastic and natural particles on the invasive mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819) and the native Choromytilus meridionalis
… and of natural particle exposure on the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis, an invasive species which has become the dominant mussel in the mid- to low-shore of the south and west coasts of South Africa, but is absent from areas prone to sand inundation. These effects will be compared to those on …

The Role of Sirtuin Inhibitors on the Proteomic Responses of the Mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis and Mytilus trossulus to Menadione Induced Oxidative Stress
… instance, the native cold-adapted mussel <em>Mytilus trossulus</em> is being replaced along its southern range by the invasive warm-adapted <em>Mytilus galloprovincialis</em>. These blue mussels occur throughout rocky intertidal zones where they are subjected to greatly varying environmental …

Population structure and recruitment patterns of the indigenous Mussel Perna perna and the Alien Mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis on the central coast of Namibia
… well documented for the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis throughout the world. This study assessed the spatial and temporal variation of population structure, recruitment patterns, condition index and abundance of the indigenous mussel Perna perna and alien mussel M. …

The Proteomic Responses of Gill Tissue in Tidally and Subtidally-Acclimated Mussel Congeners (Mytilus trossulus and Mytilus galloprovincialis) to Acute Aerial-Emersion Hypoxia
… such as marine mussels of the genus <em>Mytilus</em>, are an ideal study species for studying physiological tolerance at the environmental extremes of the intertidal habitat. In particular, <em>M. trossulus</em> and <em>M. galloprovincialis</em> are an excellent study system for examining …

Can the pathway of abalone aquaculture effluent be traced using carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of kelp Ecklonia maxima and mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis?
… Kelp (Ecklonia maxima) and blue mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) along the coast near the farm (in Jacobsbaai) were collected from 8 sites and used as tracers of the farms effluent. A ninth site was sample in another bay (Mauritzbaai) which functioned as our control. We hypothesised …

Use of stable isotope signatures in the macroalga Ecklonia maxima and the filter feeder Mytilus galloprovincialis to determine the extent of sewage dispersal from the Green Point outfall, South Africa
… and a filter-feeding organism, the blue mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (for organic particulates). It was hypothesized that biota within close proximity of the outfall would have isotopic values (signatures) which were closer to the values recorded for sewage and that this signature would …

Relation of crystalline style function to food availability and environmental conditions in South African mussels
The mussels Choromytilus meridionalis, Mytilus galloprovincialis, Perna perna and Aulacomya ater are important and often dominant organisms on the littoral and sublittoral shores of the South Africa. M. galloprovincialis has only recently been identified as a separate species, but a cons1derable …

The population dynamics and conservation of the African Black Oystercatcher, Haematopus moquini
… in the form of an invasive alien mussel species, Mytilus galloprovincialis. In light of the key factors outlined above and the territorial nature of the species, all of which are considered to be of importance to the species' population dynamics and conservation, the main aims of this study were …

Genetics and ecosystem effects of the invasive mussel Semimytilus algosus, on the West Coast of South Africa
… until recently only the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the barnacle Balanus glandula have had significant ecosystem effects on a large geographic scale. Semimytilus algosus was first detected at Elands Bay in 2009 and by 2010 it occupied 500 km of the West Coast of South …

Characterization of the major extrapallial fluid protein of the mollusc, Mytilus edulis: Implications for function
… of the extrapallial (EP) fluid of the mollusc Mytilus edulis, named the EP protein, has been previously isolated and partially characterized. It has been proposed to play an important role in shell mineralization because of its intriguing property of Ca2+ -binding induced …

Molecular detection of the apicomplexan parasite 'X' (APX) in bivalves in New Zealand
… (Perna canaliculus), Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and hairy mussels (Modiolus areolatus). Amplification followed by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis indicated that APX-similar structures observed in mussels are genetical identitical (99-100%) to APX in flat oysters, …
