Gene expression and physiological changes of different populations of the long-lived bivalve Arctica islandica under low oxygen conditions.

Gene expression and physiological changes of different populations of the long-lived bivalve Arctica islandica under low oxygen conditions.

The bivalve Arctica islandica is extremely long lived (>400 years) and can tolerate long periods of hypoxia and anoxia. European populations differ in maximum life spans (MLSP) from 40 years in the Baltic to >400 years around Iceland. Characteristic behavior of A. islandica involves phases of...
