Extreme events like Marine Heatwaves (MHWs) are becoming more intense, severe, and frequent, threatening benthic communities, specifically bivalves. However, the consequences of non-lethal MHWs on animals still poorly understood. Here, we exposed Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum to MHW for 30 days provided an integrative view its effects. Our result indicated that albeit non-lethal, reduced clam's energy reserves (by reducing their hepato-somatic index), triggered antioxidant defenses...
<ns4:p>Background The Atlantic mackerel, <ns4:italic>Scomber scombrus</ns4:italic> (Linnaeus, 1758) is a commercially valuable migratory pelagic fish inhabiting the northern Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Given its highly behaviour for feeding spawning, several studies have been conducted to assess differentiation among spawning components better define management units, as well investigate possible adaptations comprehend predict recent range expansion northwards. Methods Here, genome of...
Targeted sequencing is an increasingly popular next-generation (NGS) approach for studying populations that involves focusing efforts on specific parts of the genome a species interest. Methodologies and tools designing targeted baits are scarce but in high demand. Here, we present guidelines considerations capture experiments population genetics both neutral genomic regions subject to selection. We describe bait design process three diverse fish species: Atlantic salmon, cod tiger shark,...
The existence of strong genetic structure is expected in species with limited ability to disperse and philopatric behaviour. These life-history traits are found many small benthic elasmobranchs, such as the small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula). However, no evidence was across its northeastern Atlantic (NEA) range using traditional molecular markers. Here, fine-scale differentiation detected between British Isles southern Iberia 2674 single nucleotide polymorphism loci generated...
Abstract Background The irruption of Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and restriction site-associated DNA (RAD-seq) in the last decade has led to identification thousands molecular markers their genotyping for refined genomic screening. This approach been especially useful non-model organisms with limited resources. Many building-loci pipelines have developed obtain robust single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) datasets using a de novo RAD-seq approach, i.e. without reference genomes. Here,...
Abstract Over the last century, many shark populations have declined, primarily due to overexploitation in commercial, artisanal and recreational fisheries. In addition, some locations use of control programs also has had an impact on numbers. Still, there is a general perception that large ocean predators cover wide areas therefore their diversity less susceptible local anthropogenic disturbance. Here we report temporal genomic analyses tiger ( Galeocerdo cuvier ) DNA samples were collected...
The Atlantic mackerel,
Wastewater-based epidemiology is now widely used as an indirect tool to monitor the spread of SARS-CoV-2. In this study, five different sample matrices representing diverse phases wastewater treatment process were collected during second wave SARS-CoV-2 from two plants (WWTPs) serving Civil Hospital and Sacca Fisola island in Venice, Italy. Positive detections occurred at both WWTPs, data on viral genome detection rate quantification suggest that pellet (i.e., particulate resulting influent)...
loci were identified with 1,183 SNPs being genotyped in 71 individuals after quality filtering and trimming.Three independent neutrality tests detected 18 outlier SNP loci, considered as only when by at least 2 of the 3 methods used.Accordingly, original data set was split a neutral subset (1,165 SNPs) putatively non-neutral (18 SNPs).Discriminant Analysis Principal Components (Jombart 2008; Jombart et al. 2010) consistently showed presence two distinct genetic clusters both putative (Fig....
Abstract Over the last century, many populations of sharks have been reduced in numbers by overexploitation or attempts to mitigate human-shark interactions. Still, there is a general perception that large ocean predators cover wide areas and therefore their diversity less susceptible local anthropogenic disturbance. Here we report retrospective genomic analyses DNA using archived contemporary samples tiger shark ( Galeocerdo cuvier ) from eastern Australia. Using SNP loci, documented...
