Identification of molecular and physiological responses to chronic environmenta...
Clark, M. S.; Thorne, Michael A. S.; Amaral, Ana; Vieira, Florbela; Batista, Frederíco M.; Reis, João; Power, DeborahUnderstanding the environmental responses of an invasive species is critical in predicting how ecosystem composition may be transformed in the future, especially under climate change. In this study, Crassostrea gigas, a species well adapted to the highly variable intertidal environment, was exposed to the chronic environmental challenges of temperature (19 and 24°C) and pH (ambient seawater and a reduction of 0...
Skin healing and scale regeneration in fed and unfed sea bream, Sparus auratus
Vieira, Florbela A.; Gregório, Sílvia F.; Ferraresso, Serena; Thorne, Michael A. S.; Costa, Rita; Milan, Massimo; Bargelloni, Luca; Clark, M. S.Abstract Background Fish scales are an important reservoir of calcium and phosphorus and together with the skin function as an integrated barrier against environmental changes and external aggressors. Histological studies have revealed that the skin and scales regenerate rapidly in fish when they are lost or damaged. In the present manuscript the histological and molecular changes underlying skin and scale rege...
Insights into shell deposition in the Antarctic bivalve Laternula elliptica: ge...
Clark, M. S.; Thorne, Michael A. S.; Vieira, Florbela A.; Cardoso, João; Power, Deborah; Peck, Lloyd S.Abstract Background The Antarctic clam, Laternula elliptica, is an infaunal stenothermal bivalve mollusc with a circumpolar distribution. It plays a significant role in bentho-pelagic coupling and hence has been proposed as a sentinel species for climate change monitoring. Previous studies have shown that this mollusc displays a high level of plasticity with regard to shell deposition and damage repair against ...
Gill transcriptome response to changes in environmental calcium in the green sp...
Pinto, Patricia; Matsumura, H.; Thorne, Michael A. S.; Power, Deborah; Terauchi, Ryohei; Reinhardt, Richard; Canario, Adelino V. M.Abstract Background Calcium ion is tightly regulated in body fluids and for euryhaline fish, which are exposed to rapid changes in environmental [Ca2+], homeostasis is especially challenging. The gill is the main organ of active calcium uptake and therefore plays a crucial role in the maintenance of calcium ion homeostasis. To study the molecular basis of the short-term responses to changing calcium availabilit...
