Pleiotropic signaling of single-chain thyrostimulin (GPB5-GPA2) on homologous glycoprotein hormone receptors (ScFSHR, ScLHR, ScTSHR) in the elasmobranch Scyliorhinus canicula reproduction   Fabian Jeanne , Stanislas Pilet , Yves Combarnous , Benoît Bernay , Sylvie Dufour , Pascal Favrel , Pascal Sourdaine  Pituitary glycoprotein hormones (GPHs) regulate multiple physiological processes in vertebrates, including reproduction and metabolism. These hormones include luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone […]

Together throughout the year : seasonal patterns of bacterial and eukaryotic microbial communities in a macrotidal estuary

Estuaries are complex ecosystems that connect riverine and marine environments, where microorganisms play a key role in maintaining ecosystem functions. In this study, we investigated the dynamics of bacterial and eukaryotic communities in the Seine estuary (Normandy, France) over the course of one year, across eight sites, at two depths, with monthly sampling. To date, […]

A cockle-induced bioturbation model and its impact on sediment erodibility: A meta-analysis

Modelling the dynamics of an estuary and the evolution of its morphology requires a process-based description not only of the physical processes, but also of the influence of benthic fauna on sediment characteristics at ecosystem scale. A meta-analysis was tested as an approach for modelling the effect of bioturbation exerted by the cockle Cerastoderma edule […]
