Fish and mussels: Importance of fish for freshwater mussel conservation [PDF]

Fish and Fisheries, 2017
AbstractCo‐extinctions are increasingly recognized as one of the major processes leading to the global biodiversity crisis, but there is still limited scientific evidence on the magnitude of potential impacts and causal mechanisms responsible for the decline of affiliate (dependent) species.

Lipid Profile of the Freshwater Pearl Mussel Margaritifera margaritifera Inhabiting Different Biotopes of the Lake-River System of the Kem River, White Sea Basin

Diversity, 2023
The freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera is considered to be the most rapidly declining species of freshwater bivalve, whereas its colonies in rivers of the White Sea Basin remain the most numerous in the world.

Amazonian freshwater mussel density: A useful indicator of macroinvertebrate assemblage and habitat quality

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Mussels have important ecological functions in freshwater ecosystems, but populations are declining in many rivers worldwide. In the Amazon, which is undergoing widespread human-mediated alterations, information on mussel ecology is lacking.

Multiresistant Bacteria: Invisible Enemies of Freshwater Mussels [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021
Freshwater mussels are among the most endangered groups of fauna anywhere in world. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of resistant strains. These antibiotic-resistant bacteria play a key role in increasing the risk allied with the use of surface water and in spread of resistance genes.

Sixty years of species diversity and population density decline of freshwater mussels in a global biodiversity hotspot

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
The worldwide decline in freshwater biodiversity due to rising anthropogenic pressures is of growing concern. Much evidence reveals that biodiversity loss and taxonomic homogenization results in loss of ecosystem functions.

Phylogenetic Assessment of Freshwater Mussels Castalia ambigua and C. inflata at an Ecotone in the Paraguay River Basin, Brazil Shows That Inflated and Compressed Shell Morphotypes Are the Same Species

Diversity, 2020
The phylogeny and taxonomy of freshwater mussels of the genus Castalia in South America is complicated by issues of morphological plasticity and limited molecular genetic data.

Taxonomic Reassessment of Freshwater Mussels from the Western Balkans Reveals an Overlooked but Critical Refugium and Defines Conservation Priorities

Diversity, 2022
Freshwater mussels are an endangered group of animals, especially in the water bodies of Central and Western Europe. Conservation priorities were established for many endangered freshwater mussel species in the last decade. Here, we present new data on a

Using a multi‐model ensemble approach to determine biodiversity hotspots with limited occurrence data in understudied areas: An example using freshwater mussels in México

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Species distribution models (SDMs) are an increasingly important tool for conservation particularly for difficult‐to‐study locations and with understudied fauna.

A roadmap for the conservation of freshwater mussels in Europe

Conservation Biology, 2022
Abstract Europe has a long history of human pressure on freshwater ecosystems. As pressure continues to grow and new threats emerge, there is an urgent need for conservation of freshwater biodiversity and its ecosystem services. However, whilst some taxonomic groups, mainly vertebrates, have received a disproportionate amount of ...
