Assessment of Freshwater Unionidae Using Environmental DNA Metabarcoding in Lentic Ecosystems: Implications for Spatial Sampling Strategies [PDF]
BiologyEnvironmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has become a powerful, non-invasive method for detecting aquatic organisms. However, optimal sampling strategies for benthic taxa in lentic ecosystems remain unclear.

Molecular identity crisis: environmental DNA metabarcoding meets traditional taxonomy—assessing biodiversity and freshwater mussel populations (Unionidae) in Alabama [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) to assess aquatic biodiversity is a growing field with great potential for monitoring and managing threatened species, like freshwater mussel (Unionidae) populations. Freshwater mussels are globally imperiled and serve

Phylogeny of the most species-rich freshwater bivalve family (Bivalvia: Unionida: Unionidae): Defining modern subfamilies and tribes [PDF]
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2017 Freshwater mussels of the order Unionida are key elements of freshwater habitats and are responsible for important ecological functions and services. Unfortunately, these bivalves are among the most threatened freshwater taxa in the world. However, conservation planning and management are hindered by taxonomic problems and a lack of detailed ecological

Freshwater mussels (Mollusca, Bivalvia, Unionidae) of the Danube river basin of Ukraine
Zoodiversity, 2021 Despite the ongoing environmental problems, the basin of the Danube river is the least disturbed on the territory of Ukraine. Thus, its malacofauna is a nominal standard for the southern water systems of Central Europe.
