Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.Our results suggest that pressures in marine ecosystems often arise from numerous seemingly minor activities that collectively contribute to substantial habitat degradation. They underscore the urgent need to develop more targeted, local management measures that address detrimental small‐scale activities.

Bulletin of the Iraq Natural History Museum, 2022 Freshwater mussels are a guild of stationary, suspended-feeding species; they perform significant ecological functions like nitrogen cycling, bioturbation that gives oxygen and habitat that other creatures need to survive, and ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 8, November 2025.We compared survivorship, in a hatchery (control) and silos in natural streams, of juvenile Carolina heelsplitter originating from two geographically isolated river basins (Pee Dee River basin, Catawba River basin) over 1 year (Oct 2021–Oct 2022) and survivorship of a second species (eastern creekshell) to evaluate its potential use as a surrogate for ...

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT Freshwater mussels are ecosystem engineers: They modify substrates through burrowing, mediate water quality through filtration, provide food and habitat for other organisms and play a substantial role in the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients; they are also seriously threatened globally.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT Freshwater mussels are globally threatened due to changes in the hydrological cycle and water quality. The Rio Grande basin in North America contains the endangered unionid Popenaias popeii (Texas hornshell). Secondary salinisation has likely contributed to the decline of this species, leaving only a handful of populations remaining ...

New records of freshwater mussels (Unionida, Unionidae and Mycetopodidae) from rivers, lakes, and lagoons in Honduras [PDF]
Check ListFreshwater mussels were surveyed in 32 sites across rivers, lakes, and lagoons in Honduras and five species (two Unionidae and three Mycetopodidae) confirmed. Anodontites tortilis and Mycetopoda subsinuata are reported for the first time from the country.

Size Matters: Effects of Propagule Size on Dispersal in Rivers
Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract Biological particles (e.g., bacteria, eggs, fruit/seeds and larvae) of a wide range of sizes (i.e., 10−6–10−1 m) are transported over various distances (i.e., 100–104 m) downstream in rivers. We examined the effects of propagule size on downstream dispersal by releasing biodegradable microbeads (density ∼ 1,200 kg m−3) of three size classes ...

Environmental DNA Detects Endangered Texas Hornshell and Its Hosts
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Environmental DNA techniques are continuously demonstrating their efficiencies over traditional survey methods for detecting rare species. Unionids have a need for focused conservation efforts as they represent some of the most imperiled aquatic species in North America.
