Abstract Substantial efforts have been devoted to developing and applying biomarkers for use in ecotoxicology. These resulted partly from a desire early warning indicators that respond before measurable effects on individuals populations occur as an aid identifying the causes of observed population- community-level effects. Whereas older focused measures organism physiology or biochemistry, advances molecular biology are extending biomarker philosophy level genes (i.e., ecotoxicogenomics)....
Semi-sessile Mytilus mussels are used as indicators of climate changes, but their geographic distribution is not sufficiently known in the Arctic. The aim this study was to investigate taxonomic status and genetic differentiation populations a Northwest Greenlandic fjord at Maarmorilik, impacted by contaminations from former mine. In study, were collected three sites differing exposure environmental factors. A total 54 polymorphic SNPs found EST DNA sequences analyzed successfully applied...
Large-scale climate changes influence the geographic distribution of biodiversity. Many taxa have been reported to extend or reduce their range, move poleward displace other species. However, for closely related species that can hybridize in natural environment, displacement is not only effect environmental variables. Another option subtler, hidden expansion, which be found using genetic methods only. The marine blue mussels Mytilus are known change despite being sessile animals. In addition...
Modeling studies illustrate the potential for long-range transport of plastics into Arctic, although degree to which this occurs remains relatively undocumented. We utilised a teaching exercise at UArctic summer school graduate course in Nuuk, Greenland conduct preliminary in-depth analysis beach litter sources Nuup Kangerlua fjord. Students and instructors collected analysed 1800 items weighing 200 kg from one location fjord another its mouth. The results suggest predominance local...
