WGS for Iatlantic projet ( ) for assessing past and present connectivity

ddRAD genotyping was used to evaluate population connectivity and putative loci under selection in honeycomb worm from 13 sites spanning its distribution in the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts.

Successive infections with Vibrio harveyi were conducted in two populations of the European abalone in order to examine which genes may be involved in improved survival to the disease in the St. Malo population.

In this study, we examined the capacity of two bi-parental progenies of the black-lip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera, to increase their later-life thermal tolerance and performance, through developmental thermal priming. Embryos (3-24 hours post-fertilization) were incubated until hatching at either control (28°C; naive) or warm (32°C; primed; ecological extremes) temperatures, and raised four months under common conditions at 28°C.

Here, our study aimed to first assess the influence of plastic on the bacterial community belonging to water, plastic and the microbiome of the giant clam and on the organism's physiology of this putative sentinel species. Our second objective was to identify bacteria whose abundance varies significantly with plastic concentration. Overall, this study will fill the gap towards a better understanding of the impact of plastic pollution on bacterial community assemblages in both inert and living environments.

Develop parentage assignment panels using genetic fingerprinting of pearl oysters for use in commercial hatcheries and research to manage pedigrees in order to limit the risks of loss of genetic variability and increased inbreeding of commercial lines.
