Abstract Diopatra neapolitana Delle Chiaje, 1841 (Annelida, Onuphidae) is an important economic natural resource in Ria de Aveiro (northwestern coast of Portugal) and throughout Europe. The species intensively harvested for use as fresh bait. However, there only limited knowledge about its life cycle derived from a previous study Mediterranean Sea. Reproduction development patterns are known to vary biogeographically, making it base management decisions on locally appropriate information....
This study describes a new species of the genus Diopatra Audouin and Milne-Edwards, 1833. micrura sp. nov., was found on western southern coast Portugal can be distinguished from other by characteristic striped colour pattern antennae palps. Other diagnostic morphological characteristics include ventral parapodial lobes, crescentic nuchal organs, ceratophores with 12–15 rings, subacicular hooks chaetigers 8–13. mainly in fine or very sand variable fines content, intertidal region up to 50...
Plastics, particularly microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), have been regarded as pollutants of emerging concern due to their effects on organisms ecosystems, especially considering marine environments. However, in terms NPs, there is still a knowledge gap regarding the size polymer invertebrates, such benthic organisms. Therefore, this study aimed understand, behavioural, physiological, biochemical endpoints (neurotransmission, energy metabolism, antioxidant status, oxidative...
The presence of plastic particles in oceans has been recognized as a major environmental concern. decrease particle size increases their ability to directly interact with biota, the nanometer range (nanoplastics-NPs) displaying higher penetrate biological membranes, which size. This study aimed evaluate role life stages effects poly(methyl)methacrylate (PMMA) NPs on polychaete Hediste diversicolor, key species marine food web and nutrient cycle. Thus, behavioral (burrowing activity clean...
