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.

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.

Evolution of diverse host infection mechanisms delineates an adaptive radiation of lampsiline freshwater mussels centered on their larval ecology [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 North American watersheds contain a high diversity of freshwater mussels (Unionoida). During the long-lived, benthic phase of their life cycle, up to 40 species can co-occur in a single riffle and there is typically little evidence for major differences ...
