Allocation policy of female freshwater pearl mussels
Oecologia, 1998Living exclusively in trout streams which are very poor in nutrients, freshwater pearl mussels are physiologically adapted to the low food supply by a reduced metabolism. Longevity of these mussels spans decades and life-time fecundity of females is very high (up to 2*108 larvae).

Global diversity of freshwater mussels (Mollusca, Bivalvia) in freshwater
Hydrobiologia, 2007The term freshwater bivalve is very inclusive and not very informative. There are representatives of at least 19 families that have at least one representative living in freshwater. This suggests at least 14 different invasions of freshwater. At least nine families have small to large radiations in the freshwater environment: Corbiculidae, Sphaeriidae,

Manganese profiles in freshwater mussel shells
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 2001The heavy ion microprobe in combinatio with particle-induced X ray emmission was used to measured the distribution of manganese in freshwater mussel shells (Hyridella depressa) from the Nepean river in south-eastern Australia. Close to the ventral edge, bands with an elevated menganese content have been detected.

Does electrofishing harm freshwater pearl mussels?
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2001Abstract1. Two experiments were carried out in a Scottish river to test the effects of electrofishing on endangered freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera).2. In the first experiment, two areas of mussel bed were marked out as treatment and control sites and the former was electrofished using standard equipment. The mussels were examined

Ecosystem services provided by freshwater mussels
Hydrobiologia, 2017Ecosystem services are the benefits that humans derive from ecosystems. Freshwater mussels perform many important functions in aquatic ecosystems, which can in turn be framed as the ecosystem services that they contribute to or provide. These include supporting services such as nutrient recycling and storage, structural habitat, substrate and food web ...

Freshwater Mussels (Bivalvia: Unionoida) of Maine
Northeastern Naturalist, 1997rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds of various sizes. They belong to the order Unionoida, and in North America (and Maine) freshwater mussels are represented by two families, the Margaritiferidae and the Unionidae. These familial names are derived, respectively, from the Greek margaritos and the Latin unio, both of which mean "pearl" and refer to the ...
