Article Synopsis
  • Oysters are bivalve molluscs crucial for fisheries and aquaculture, but their genetic diversity and distribution are still not well understood.
  • The variability in their shell shapes makes it hard to classify different species, despite molecular research identifying about 100 existing species.
  • This study focused on small flat oysters in the Mediterranean regions of Liguria and Sardinia, using 16S rRNA sequencing to reveal new species and enhance knowledge about oyster diversity and evolution.

is the etiological agent of the listeriosis. Here, we described three draft genome sequences of isolated in Italy from stranded individuals of the striped dolphin . All the genomes have been molecular typed through the multilocus sequence typing to identify the phylogenetic lineage, clonal complex, sublineage, and serogroup.

Fish freshness consists of complex endogenous and exogenous processes; therefore, the use of a few parameters to unravel illicit practices could be insufficient. Moreover, the development of strategies for the identification of such practices based on additives known to prevent and/or delay fish spoilage is still limited. The paper deals with the identification of the effect played by a Cafodos solution on the conservation state of sea bass at both short-term (3 h) and long-term (24 h).

The gut microbiota has become a topic of increasing importance in various fields, including aquaculture. Several fish species have been the subject of investigations concerning the intestinal microbiota, which have compared different variables, including the intestinal portions, the environment, and diet. In this study, the microbiota of farmed and wild brook trout () were analyzed, in which the wall and content of the medial portion of the intestine were considered separately.

Extant terrestrial vertebrates, including birds, have a panoply of symbiotic relationships with many insects and arachnids, such as parasitism or mutualism. Yet, identifying arthropod-vertebrate symbioses in the fossil record has been based largely on indirect evidence; findings of direct association between arthropod guests and dinosaur host remains are exceedingly scarce. Here, we present direct and indirect evidence demonstrating that beetle larvae fed on feathers from an undetermined theropod host (avian or nonavian) 105 million y ago.
