Thermal stress
- Effects of temperature and UVR on organic matter fluxes and the metabolic activity of Acropora muricata
Summary: This study explores the individual and combined effects of temperature and UVR on the metabolism of Acropora muricata, and on the organic matter release and degradation by the associated bacteria.
- Changes in fatty acid composition in the giant clam Tridacna maxima in response to thermal stress
Summary: Lipid remodelling according to the gene expression of Tridacna maxima and the fate of its symbiont Symbiodinium may contribute to its resistance during thermal stress.
- Modulation of digestive physiology and biochemistry in Mytilus californianus in response to feeding level acclimation and microhabitat
Summary: We show for the first time that the mussel Mytilus californianus has a flexible digestive strategy to deal with varying environmental conditions that are based upon their position on the shore.
