Case study of the convergent evolution in the color patterns in the freshwater bivalves [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The class Bivalvia (phylum Mollusca) is one of the most successful at survival groups of animals with diverse color patterns on their shells, and they are occasionally preserved in the fossil record as residual color patterns.

Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Accumulated by Freshwater Bivalves: An Underestimated Risk for Public Health? [PDF]
PathogensAs bioindicators, freshwater bivalves are crucial for the assessment of the contamination impact on different levels of biological integration. Escherichia coli is used as a bioindicator of water fecal contamination, representing a critical global ...

Research progress in relationships between freshwater bivalves and algae
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022 Eutrophication in freshwater has become increasingly severe around the world, resulting in phytoplankton overgrowth and benthic algae reduction. Bivalves can change the density, dominant species and community structure of phytoplankton, increase ...

Survey of Microcystin-Producing Cyanobacteria in French Lakes of Various Trophic Status Using Environmental and Cyanobacterial Parameters and an Active Mussel Biomonitoring [PDF]
ToxinsMicrocystins (MCs), hepatotoxins produced by cyanobacteria, represent a potential threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health. Measuring various environmental and cyanobacterial parameters in water samples can be useful for monitoring water quality and

The earliest post-paleozoic freshwater bivalves preserved in coprolites from the karoo basin, South Africa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Several clades of bivalve molluscs have invaded freshwaters at various times throughout Phanerozoic history. The most successful freshwater clade in the modern world is the Unionoida. Unionoids arose in the Triassic Period, sometime after the
