Abstract: The non-indigenous colonial tunicate Didemnum vexillum plagues many shellfish aquaculture operations around the world by smothering crop and gear and displacing juvenile bivalves. There are two populations of D. vexillum in Oregon, but little is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-021-02615-3
Abstract: Introductions of invasive, non-native species in the marine environment are increasing as human activity within coastal areas rises. Genetic datasets are useful tools to identify source populations, track routes of invasions, and illuminate the role… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.1152
Abstract: Venoms of predatory marine cone snails are intensely studied because of the biomedical applications of the neuropeptides that they contain, termed conotoxins. Meanwhile some gastropod lineages have independently acquired secretory glands strikingly similar to the… read more here.
