Viruses of Freshwater Mussels during Mass Mortality Events in Oregon and Washington, USA [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 Freshwater mussels (Unionida) are globally imperiled, in part due to largely unexplained mass mortality events (MMEs). While recent studies have begun to investigate the possibility that mussel MMEs in the Eastern USA may be caused by infectious diseases,

Mussel Mass Mortality and the Microbiome: Evidence for Shifts in the Bacterial Microbiome of a Declining Freshwater Bivalve [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Freshwater mussels (Unionida) are suffering mass mortality events worldwide, but the causes remain enigmatic. Here, we describe an analysis of bacterial loads, community structure, and inferred metabolic pathways in the hemolymph of pheasantshells ...

Unusual Mass Mortality of Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) in the Canary Islands Associated with Adverse Weather Events [PDF]
AnimalsThe Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica) is a seabird species characterized by great diving capabilities and transoceanic migratory behavior. These movements contribute to the dispersion of the species during migration, and episodes of mortality ...

Detecting mass mortality events in wildlife populations. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Reports in the literature of mass mortality events (MMEs) involving diverse animal taxa are increasing. Yet, many likely go unobserved due to imperfect detection and infrequent sampling. MMEs involving small, cryptic species, for instance, can be difficult to detect even during the event, and degradation ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 A devastating mass mortality event (MME) very likely caused by the protozoan Haplosporidium pinnae first detected in 2016 in the Western Mediterranean Sea, is pushing the endemic bivalve Pinna nobilis to near extinction. Populations recovery, if possible,
