Experimental evidence associates burrowing behavior of Castalia ambigua (Bivalvia: Hyriidae) with shell shape and density [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Information on freshwater mussel behavior in the sediment is scarce worldwide, especially in the Amazon. Laboratory experiments were used to measure the responses of the single mussel species Castalia ambigua in relation to combinations of two co ...

Novel insights into habitat suitability for Amazonian freshwater mussels linked with hydraulic and landscape drivers [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Novel insights into habitat suitability for two Unionida freshwater mussels, Castalia ambigua Lamarck, 1819 (Hyriidae) and Anodontites elongatus (Swainson, 1823) (Mycetopodidae), are presented on the basis of hydraulic variables linked with the riverbed ...

Variability of mitochondrial ORFans hints at possible differences in the system of doubly uniparental inheritance of mitochondria among families of freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionida) [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background Supernumerary ORFan genes (i.e., open reading frames without obvious homology to other genes) are present in the mitochondrial genomes of gonochoric freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionida) showing doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of ...

LENGTH-WEIGHT RELATIONSHIPS OF THREE FRESHWATER MUSSEL SPECIES FROM THE AMAZON (UNIONIDA, HYRIIDAE)
Environmental Smoke, 2023 Length-weight relationships of three freshwater mussel species (Hyriidae), Eastern Amazon: the length-weight relationships allow important biological estimates for the fisheries management of species. Through this relationship, it is possible to estimate

Morphology and distribution of the freshwater mussel Diplodon granosus, a rare and poorly understood species [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2020 Diplodon granosus was one of the first freshwater mussels to be described for South America. However, the status of the species was confusing for a long time, receiving different taxonomic treatments. In this paper, we redescribe the shell, with new data

Comparative diversity in glochidia of Australasian freshwater mussels
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Most freshwater mussels have larvae (glochidia in Unionidae, Margaritiferidae and Hyriidae) that are parasitic on fishes. This study describes and compares the diversity of glochidia among 17 species of Australasian Hyriidae.
