Reviews and syntheses: The clam before the storm – a meta-analysis showing the effect of combined climate change stressors on bivalves [PDF]
The impacts of climate change on marine organisms have been increasingly documented in laboratory and experimental studies. However, the use of different taxonomic groupings and the assessment of a range of processes make identifying overall trends ...

Burrowing behavior of a deposit feeding bivalve predicts change in intertidal ecosystem state
Behavior has a predictive power that is often underutilized as a tool for signaling ecological change. The burrowing behavior of the deposit feeding bivalve Macoma balthica reflects a typical food-safety trade-off.

A new species of Tellina (Tellinides) (Bivalvia: Tellinidae) from Western Australia
Abstract A new bivalve species, Tellina (Tellinides) cockburnensis, is described from inshore localities in Western Australia between Warnbro Sound and Bernier Island. Fossil records are from Quaternary deposits between Kalbarri and Albany.

The effect of immersion time on burying depth of the bivalve Macoma balthica (Tellinidae)
Abstract As a characteristic buried tellinid bivalve, Macoma balthica has a long inhalent siphon that enables it to feed in two different ways: deposit and suspension feeding. To deposit feed efficiently on benthic microalgae, Macoma has to live close to the sediment surface, where it can graze an extensive surface area, but is within reach of ...

CONNECTIVITY OF BIVALVES BETWEEN MANGROVE AND SEAGRASS ECOSYSTEMS IN KELAPA DUA ISLANDS
Kelapa Dua Island, part of the Seribu Islands, is rich in biodiversity within the mangrove and seagrass ecosystems. Bivalves serve as bioindicators, crucial for assessing the health of these ecosystems.
