Freshwater Mussels as Biofilters
, 2022 Freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) are filter feeders, removing phytoplankton and other suspended particulate matter from the water. The removal of suspended matter from water is often considered desirable, in order to reduce algal blooms and in the treatment of drinking water.

Under Surveyed and Under Pressure: Additional Biodiversity Uncovered in the Freshwater Mussels (Unionida: Velesunioninae) of North-Western Australia. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHere, we tested for cryptic diversity within freshwater mussels in north‐western Australia and identified multiple undescribed lineages. Distributional patterns were complex with some taxa displaying evidence of potentially recent long‐distance dispersal whereas others were more restricted in their distributions.

Fish and mussels: Importance of fish for freshwater mussel conservation [PDF]
Fish and Fisheries, 2017 AbstractCo‐extinctions are increasingly recognized as one of the major processes leading to the global biodiversity crisis, but there is still limited scientific evidence on the magnitude of potential impacts and causal mechanisms responsible for the decline of affiliate (dependent) species.

The Role of Freshwater Mussels in River Bed Dynamics and Sediment Flux [PDF]
, 2023 Freshwater mussels have been found capable of improving water quality in river environments by filtering particles from the water column and depositing them on the river bed as pseudofaecal pellets.

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.

Multiresistant Bacteria: Invisible Enemies of Freshwater Mussels [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021 Freshwater mussels are among the most endangered groups of fauna anywhere in world. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of resistant strains. These antibiotic-resistant bacteria play a key role in increasing the risk allied with the use of surface water and in spread of resistance genes.
