Freshwater mussels (Order: Unionida) and fishes are two imperiled taxa that make up an important part of global freshwater biodiversity. Mussels exhibit a complex life cycle that can contribute to their imperilment.

ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

The Asian clam Corbicula fluminea has been widely introduced into aquatic ecosystems and may impact the physiological condition and survival of native freshwater mussels. However, very few studies have evaluated this issue quantitatively.

This study examined the impact of summer temperature–oxygen squeezes on striped bass habitat, population size, and body condition in Lake Texoma from 1995 to 2020. Although suitable habitat volume consistently declined each summer, with temperature and oxygen influencing habitat in threshold‐dependent ways, we found no clear effects on striped bass ...

INTERACTIONS BETWEEN FRESHWATER MUSSELS, MERCURY CONTAMINATION, AND GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE IN FRESHWATER SYSTEMS [PDF]
Humans are impacting the environment at an unprecedented scale, with anthropogenic activities altering environmental processes and cycles planet-wide. Centuries of gold mining and coal burning has more than tripled the amount of inorganic mercury in the ...
