LIFE-HISTORY PATTERNS IN THE BROODING FRESHWATER BIVALVE PISIDIUM (SPHAERIIDAE) [PDF]

Journal Molluscan Studies, 2004
Of all freshwater molluscs, the life history of sphaeriid bivalves has been one of the best studied, partly because they brood their young. In Pisidium, one of five genera in the Sphaeriidae, offspring develop and are released synchronously and therefore the reproductive state is easily determined from collections of adults.

Biodiversity, phylogeny and biogeography of the family Sphaeriidae (Mollusca: Bivalvia) in Morocco

, 2022
The family Sphaeriidae Deshayes, 1855 is widely distributed across the globe, except for Antarctica, with a high species richness of up to 200 species. In Morocco, freshwater bivalves are receiving more and more attention in recent years and data on the families of this group are no longer a mystery for most of them.

Diet variation of common smelt across a salinity gradient in coastal lakes on Rēkohu (Chatham Island)

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 58, Issue 3, Page 404-421, September 2024.
ABSTRACT Sea level rise threatens ecosystem function in coastal lakes by increasing salinity and altering community composition. As mobile generalists, fish have considerable influence on the stability of a system by impacting trophic network structure.

Long‐term environmental flows restore benthic invertebrate communities in a highly regulated river

Restoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 5, July 2024.
The construction of dams and other in‐stream structures for human use has altered river ecosystems worldwide. Dams degrade rivers, and environmental flow releases aim to mitigate flow alterations and restore rivers downstream of dams by returning elements of the pre‐regulation flow regime, resulting in an ecosystem that resembles a more natural state ...

Anatomy of New Zealand species of the family Sphaeriidae (Bivalvia, Eulamellibranchia)

Molluscan Research, 1999
Abstract Mantle edge, gills, brood pouches and nephridia are described in Musculium novaezelandiae (Deshayes 1854), Pisidium hodgkini (Suter, 1905) and P. novaezelandiae Prime, 1862. Affinity of the first species to the subgenus Sphaerinova Iredale and placement of the second one in the subgenus Afropisidium Kuiper is confirmed by anatomical characters.
