Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Sediments Containing Platinum and Palladium on Freshwater Benthic Organisms Chironomus riparius and Hyalella azteca

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 1151-1163, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The expanding demand for platinum group elements (PGEs) in industrial and medical applications has led to their increasing accumulation in aquatic sediments. However, their ecological impacts remain poorly understood, particularly for sediment‐dwelling invertebrates. This study assessed the toxicity of platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) across a

The complete mitochondrial genomes of the freshwater mussel Ortmanniana ligamentina (Lamarck, 1819): male and female mitotypes

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
Freshwater mussels of the Unionida order are important to freshwater ecosystems but are highly imperiled worldwide. Improving our understanding of these species is crucial to their continued conservation.

High levels of multiple paternity in a spermcast mating freshwater mussel

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 848-868, April 2026.
ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.

Prevalence and Implications of “Must‐Kill” Angling Regulations for the Management of Invasive Fishes

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 260-270, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater biodiversity is increasingly threatened by invasive species, which can disrupt native fish populations and the fisheries they support. Must‐kill regulations, which prohibit the live release of invasive fish caught by recreational anglers, are a management strategy that can be implemented to limit the negative effects of invasive ...

Marine heatwave and keystone predator loss drive broad‐scale decline and hinder recovery of a rocky intertidal kelp

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Human activities are increasingly driving the co‐occurrence of multiple ecological stressors, resulting in interactive and cumulative impacts that can reshape ecosystem dynamics and accelerate population declines of climate‐sensitive species. Here, we use over two decades of rocky intertidal monitoring data from 17 sites spanning over 1200 km ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Potomida acarnanica (Kobelt, 1879)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
Freshwater mussels (Bivalvia, Unionida) play essential roles in the well-functioning of ecosystems, even providing essential services to humans. However, these bivalves face numerous threats (e.g.

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

open access: yesKnowledge 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.

Freshwater immersion as a method to remove Urosalpinx cinerea and Ocinebrellus inornatus from mussel seed [PDF]

open access: yes
A simple experiment to test whether immersion in freshwater for ≤24 hours would kill two oyster drills, Urosalpinx cinerea and Ocinebrellus inornatus was conducted to test the proposal of using freshwater to rid mussel seed of the drills before ...
