Pooled eastern oyster hemolymph from a mixture of selectively bred families (VIMS) was challenged in triplicate with filtered sterile seawater (FSSW) (control), Perkinsus...

The degradation of marine plastic debris poses a threat to marine organisms by fragmenting into micro and nanoscale pieces and releasing a complex chemical leachate into the...

The eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica is a major aquaculture species for the United States. The Eastern Oyster Breeding Consortium (EOBC) was formed to advance genetics and...

A study examining both DNA methylation and gene expression responses in the mantle tissue of adult C. virginica exposed to experimental ocean acidification (OA). The aim of this...

In this study, we investigated the geochemistry of three reservoirs important for biomineralization – seawater, the extrapallial fluid (EPF), and the shell – in two bivalve...

Global changes in precipitation patterns have increased the frequency and duration of flooding events. Freshwater inflows into estuaries reduce salinity levels and increase...

In North America, studies regarding effects of CO2-induced low pH in bivalve aquaculture are largely restricted to the US Pacific coast. Studies on species from the northwest...

While many studies document effects of elevated pCO2 on coastal organisms, the environmental variability characteristic of coastal regions is often not directly tested. We...

Rising levels of atmospheric CO2 lead to acidification of the ocean and alter seawater carbonate chemistry, which can negatively impact calcifying organisms, including mollusks....

To address CO2-induced changes to estuarine calcification, veliger larvae of two oyster species, the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica), and the Suminoe oyster (Crassostrea...

Exome capture is an effective tool for surveying the genome for loci under selection. However, traditional methods require an annotated genome and/or transcriptome. Here, we...

In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig run by British Petroleum (BP) suffered a catastrophic failure, releasing over four million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The oil...

As the global demand for seafood increases, research into the genetic basis of traits that can increase aquaculture production is critical. The eastern oyster (Crassostrea...

RNAseq data from oysters collected from a historically low salinity site in Louisiana, were exposed to fully crossed temperature (20°C and 30°C) and salinity (25, 15, and 7 PSU)...

RNASeq data from pathogen and OA stress Eastern Oyster

Genome-wide analysis of natural and restored eastern oyster populations reveals local adaptation and positive impacts of planting frequency and broodstock number

Transcriptomic response to Perkinsus marinus in two Crassostrea oysters reveals evolutionary dynamics of host-parasite interactions

We exposed Eastern oyster larvae (Crassostrea virginica) to a full-factorial experimental design using two temperatures (23°C and 27°C), salinities (17 and 27), and pCO2 levels...

Here, we investigate how reciprocal interactions between two coastal foundation species, the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) and eelgrass (Zostera marina) shift in sign...

This study, therefore, sought to (1) characterize the baseline pH/DO variability as well as the associated drivers of the carbonate system in constructed reefs to (2) determine...
