Murray-Darling basin freshwater shells: riverine reservoir effect [PDF]

, 2009
We report carbon isotope measurements on pre-bomb museum samples of freshwater mussel shells collected alive from riverine locations in New South Wales, Australia. The calculated reservoir ages, ranging from -60 to +112 years, are much smaller than those

Monitoring for freshwater mussel presence in rivers using environmental DNA

Environmental DNA, 2021
In 2013, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) updated its national recommended water quality criteria for the protection of aquatic life from the toxic effects of ammonia in freshwaters.

Declining freshwater mussel diversity in the middle and lower reaches of the Xin River Basin: Threat and conservation

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Freshwater mussels provide important functions and services for aquatic ecosystems, but populations of many species have been extirpated. Information on biodiversity plays an important role in the conservation and management of freshwater mussels.

Glutathione dependent enzyme activities in the foot of three freshwater mussel species in the Sava river, Serbia [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2007
We investigated activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione reductase (GR), and the phase II biotransformation enzyme glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in the foot of three freshwater mussel species: Unio pictorum (Up), Unio tumidus (Ut ...

Sympatric Dreissena species in the Meuse River : towards a dominance shift from zebra to quagga mussels [PDF]

, 2015
The rapid spread of the quagga mussel, Dreissena rostriformis, in Western Europe is of particular concern since the species is known to have serious ecological and economic impacts, similar to those of the well-established zebra mussel, Dreissena ...

Characterizing the Gut Microbial Communities of Native and Invasive Freshwater Bivalves after Long-Term Sample Preservation

Microorganisms, 2023
Freshwater mussels are important indicators of the overall health of their environment but have suffered declines that have been attributed to factors such as habitat degradation, a loss of fish hosts, climate change, and excessive nutrient inputs.

Mussels with Meat: Bivalve Tissue-Shell Radiocarbon Age Differences and Archaeological Implications [PDF]

, 2012
Local reservoir ages are often estimated from the difference between the radiocarbon ages of aquatic material and associated terrestrial samples for which no reservoir effect is expected.

The gut microbiome of freshwater Unionidae mussels is determined by host species and is selectively retained from filtered seston.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Freshwater mussels are a species-rich group of aquatic invertebrates that are among the most endangered groups of fauna worldwide. As filter-feeders that are constantly exposed to new microbial inoculants, mussels represent an ideal system to investigate
