Viruses of Freshwater Mussels during Mass Mortality Events in Oregon and Washington, USA

Viruses, 2023
Freshwater mussels (Unionida) are globally imperiled, in part due to largely unexplained mass mortality events (MMEs). While recent studies have begun to investigate the possibility that mussel MMEs in the Eastern USA may be caused by infectious diseases,

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.

Freshwater mussels house a diverse mussel-associated leech assemblage [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractFreshwater mussels (Unionida) are one of the most imperiled animal groups worldwide, revealing the fastest rates of extinction. Habitat degradation, river pollution and climate change are the primary causes of global decline. However, biological threats for freshwater mussels are still poorly known.

Age and growth in the Australian freshwater mussel, Westralunio carteri, with an evaluation of the fluorochrome calcein for validating the assumption of annulus formation [PDF]

, 2014
Growth and longevity of freshwater mussels (Unionida) are important for defining life-history strategies and assessing vulnerability to human impacts.

Seasonally resolved growth of freshwater bivalves determined by oxygen and carbon isotope shell chemistry [PDF]

, 2010
By means of a monitoring experiment in two rivers in the Netherlands, we establish a relationship between seasonally resolved growth rates in unionid freshwater bivalves and their environment.

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 ...

Glochidia ecology in wild fish populations and laboratory determination of competent host fishes for an endemic freshwater mussel of south-western Australia

, 2012
Glochidia (parasitic larvae) of freshwater mussels generally require a fish as a host. Westralunio carteri Iredale, 1934 (Bivalvia : Hyriidae), the only freshwater mussel found in south-western Australia, was listed as Vulnerable, but recently changed to
