Evolution of diverse host infection mechanisms delineates an adaptive radiation of lampsiline freshwater mussels centered on their larval ecology [PDF]
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 ...

Linking Phylogeny and Morphology to Resource Assimilation Within Aquatic Assemblages. [PDF]
We examined how phylogeny and morphology affected resource assimilation patterns within aquatic assemblages, specifically freshwater mussels (Family: Uniondae). We found that (1) species identity and site influenced gill morphology and stable isotope signatures but that the trophic niche area of a species was only affected by species identity; (2) the ...

Major Ion Toxicity to Glochidia of Common and Imperiled Freshwater Mussel Species
Freshwater mussel taxa are severely imperiled and among the most sensitive to several contaminants, including chloride. Relatively little is known of the toxicity of major ions to glochidia (larvae), particularly for rare species, or the effects of ...

Quantifying Effects and Ingestion of Several Pristine Microplastics in Two Early Life Stages of Freshwater Mussels. [PDF]
Abstract Microplastics have been found in freshwater systems, and in turn have been detected in freshwater bivalves. However, there is limited research that defines the toxicity of microplastics to native freshwater bivalves that have long been imperiled in North America.
