Fossil glochidia (Bivalvia: Unionida: Hyriidae) from the middle Miocene of western Amazonia (Peru)

Journal of Systematic Palaeontology, 2018
Unionid bivalves are a common and widely distributed group of freshwater mussels, presumably known since the Triassic.

Valve movement responses of Velesunio angasi (Bivalvia: Hyriidae) to manganese and uranium: An exception to the free ion activity model

Aquatic Toxicology, 2000
The veracity of the free ion activity model (FIAM) was tested by examining the acute (48 h) valve movement responses (VMR) (measured in terms of the duration of valve opening) of the Australian tropical freshwater unionid bivalve, Velesunio angasi to increasing concentrations of total Mn or U, in a standard synthetic water under conditions of varying ...

Changes in the distributions of freshwater mussels (Unionoida: Hyriidae) in coastal south‐eastern Australia and implications for their conservation status

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2013
ABSTRACT The conservation of freshwater mussels is neglected in Australia, and poor historical data may mask trends in species’ range and abundance. A combined‐evidence approach using published data, targeted surveys, historical records and a GIS‐based, reach‐scale measure of physical habitat quality was used to assess trends in the distributions of ...

Status of the endangered Glenelg River Mussel Hyridella glenelgensis (Unionoida: Hyriidae) in Australia

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2007
1. Hyridella glenelgensis is a small freshwater mussel that occurs in the Glenelg–Wannon river system in south-western Victoria and is listed as ‘threatened’ under the state Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988. The species has rarely been reported since its discovery in 1898, and there are no records from the late 1920s until 1990, and again in 2000 ...

Effects of food and silt on filtration, respiration and condition of the freshwater mussel Hyridella menziesi (Unionacea: Hyriidae): implications for bioaccumulation

Hydrobiologia, 1995
The effect of exposure to different concentrations of food and suspended silt on filtration, respiration and condition were studied in the freshwater mussel Hyridella menziesi. Using a milk solids-based food and kaolin to simulate silt, mussels were maintained at different combinations of food and silt concentrations for 3 weeks.

Calcium concretions in the interstitial tissues of the Australian freshwater mussel Hyridella depressa (Hyriidae)

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2000
Abstract The Australian freshwater mussel Hyridella depressa (Lamarck, 1819) has extensive deposits of calcium phosphate granules in its interstitial connective tissues. The structure, distribution and elemental profile of these granules were documented by light and electron microscopy.
