Ecology, life history and conservation status of Westralunio carteri IREDALE 1934, an endemic freshwater mussel of South-western Australia

, 2012
Westralunio carteri, the only hyriid in south-western Australia, was nominated ‘Vulnerable’ (IUCN) in 1994. The aims of this study were to update the species’ range and determine factors limiting its distribution, quantify tolerance to threats, quantify ...

High levels of multiple paternity in a spermcast mating freshwater mussel

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Multiple paternity is an important characteristic of the genetic mating system and common across a wide range of taxa. Multiple paternity can increase within‐population genotypic diversity, allowing selection to act on a wider spectre of genotypes, and ...

Tidal phasing drives intertidal heat stress and climate vulnerability

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Intertidal organisms are exposed to extreme and variable thermal conditions due to periodic aerial exposure by tides. For sessile species that cannot seek refuge, heat stress is strongly influenced by the timing of low tides, which in semidiurnal tidal systems is governed by the spring–neap tidal cycle.

Growth biorhythms in the freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera (Bivalvia, Margaritiferidae). Livojoki river population (Karelia)

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2018
Individual linear growth rates were studied in freshwater pearl mussels Margaritifera margaritifera from the Livojoki River. Growth deceleration coefficients were shown to vary widely and differ significantly among individuals.
