Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.ABSTRACT Tropical freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionida) are one of the most endangered groups of animals globally, but conservation is hindered by a lack of species distribution data. Traditional hand‐sampling is time‐ and cost‐intensive and not always possible, for example, because of the presence of crocodiles.

Surviving global change: a review of the impacts of drought and dewatering on freshwater mussels
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 1, Page 275-307, February 2025.ABSTRACT The increase in the frequency and intensity of droughts and heatwaves caused by climate change poses a major threat to biodiversity. In aquatic systems, sedentary species such as freshwater mussels are generally considered more vulnerable to changes in habitat conditions than mobile species such as fish.

Can Unionid Mortality Be Estimated From Dead Shells? A Simulation Study
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Environmentally persistent structures of dead individuals represent an unexplored avenue to estimate some population parameters for endangered species that cannot sustain lethal sampling. We used simulations to explore the feasibility of applying catch‐curve analysis from dead unionid shells to estimate mortality.

Journal of Aquatic Animal Health, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 310-320, December 2024.Abstract Objective Freshwater mussels of the order Unionoida are among the most imperiled taxa in North America, and many species are undergoing enigmatic decline without fully understood causation. Disease pathology and parasitology have been identified as areas with significant knowledge gaps in relation to these declines.
