An assessment of longshore movement in Donax serra Röding (Bivalvia: Donacidae) on an exposed sandy beach
Jenifer E. Dugan,Anton McLachlan +1 more
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that average longshore movement rates of intertidal clams, >1 year of age, along the beach are low and the animals are relatively sedentary.

Settlement of megalopae and early juveniles of the velvet swimming crab Necora puber (Decapoda: Portunidae) in flow conditions
TL;DR: Although megalopae and early juveniles show capability of active selection of substrata, the differential distribution on natural substrata during settlement was most likely set by hydrodynamic conditions; active movement may only occur when a substratum of lower suitability is encountered.
Past and present geographical distribution of populations of Portuguese (Crassostrea angulata) and Pacific (C. gigas) oysters along the European and north African Atlantic coasts
TL;DR: In this article, the genetic composition of seventeen populations of cupped oysters, sampled in France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Italy, using a diagnostic marker, the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxydase I gene.

The Influence of Dry-season Conditions on the Bottom Dwelling Fauna of an East Australian Sub-tropical Estuary
TL;DR: Spatial patterns in benthic infaunal community structure of Port Curtis estuary were determined from quantitative grab samples and examined in relation to environmental variables, and nine community groupings were revealed characterised by small species sub-sets with restricted distributions.

Epizoic zonation on growing scallop shells in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica
TL;DR: Shells of living molluscs provide replicate natural substrata for interpreting the distributions, abundances and dynamics of fouling assemblages, and demonstrates that epizoic assemblage variability can be interpreted between and within habitats on growing mollusc shells.
