Texture of the Freshwater Shells from the Unionidae Family Collected in the Czech Republic Investigated by X-ray and Neutron Diffraction

Crystals, 2021
Bivalve shells exhibit extreme mechanical resistance despite using a minimal amount of material. The shells thus represent an inspiration and a source of information for environmental, geological, and engineering sciences.

Molecular phylogeny reveals a new genus and species of freshwater mussel (Bivalvia, Unionidae, Gonideinae) from Jiangxi, China [PDF]

Zoosystematics and Evolution
Freshwater mussels of the tribe Gonideini (Bivalvia: Unionidae: Gonideinae) constitute one of the most taxonomically diverse groups and serve as keystone species in riverine and lacustrine ecosystems across East Asia. A new genus and species of Gonideini

The complete maternally and paternally inherited mitochondrial genomes of the endangered freshwater mussel Solenaia carinatus (Bivalvia: Unionidae) and implications for Unionidae taxonomy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) is an exception to the typical maternal inheritance of mitochondrial (mt) DNA in Metazoa, and found only in some bivalves. In species with DUI, there are two highly divergent gender-associated mt genomes: maternal (F)

Long-term changes in unionid community in Kentucky Lake: Implications for understanding the effects of impoundment on river systems

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2023
Freshwater mussels are both critically important in their ecosystems and rapidly declining around the world. Damming is a key reason for this decline in many locations because it affects the flow and turbidity of river systems, leading to numerous ...

Relationship between anti-oxidant capacity and manganese accumulation in the soft tissues of two freshwater molluscs: Unio pictorum mancus (Lamellibranchia, Unionidae) and Viviparus ater (Gastropoda, Prosobranchia)

Journal of Limnology, 2005
Manganese is an element of great importance in the life cycle of plants and animals. For example, it plays an essential role as an activator of various enzymatic systems such as isoenzymes of superoxide dismutase.

F-type complete mitochondrial genomes of two Hyriposis species, H. schlegelii and H. cumingii (Bivalvia; Unionoida; Unionidae) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and its phylogenetic analysis

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
We have sequenced the female type (F-type) complete mitochondrial genomes of two Hyriposis species, H. schlegelii and H. cumingii (Gonideinae, Unionidae, Unionida, Bivalvia) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and inferred the Unioninae phylogeny.

Application of eDNA for monitoring freshwater bivalve Nodularia nipponensis and its glochidium larvae

Environmental DNA, 2022
Habitat loss, the introduction of invasive species, and climate change due to human activity have threatened many freshwater unionid bivalves worldwide. Unionid bivalves represent important members of freshwater ecosystems, providing bitterling fish with
