Extreme Hydrological Drought Threatens the Endemic Freshwater Mussel, Alathyria jacksoni Iredale, 1934, Northern Murray–Darling Basin, Australia

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.

Using Salinity Tolerance to Inform Conservation of an Endangered Unionid Mussel, Popenaias popeii (Texas Hornshell), in a Salinized River

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 ...

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 ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of freshwater mussel Nodularia douglasiae (Unionidae) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and its phylogenetic analysis

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
We have sequenced the female type (F-type) mitochondrial genome of Nodularia douglasiae (Unioninae, Unionidae, Unionida, Bivalvia) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and inferred the Unioninae phylogeny using complete mitochondrial genome sequences.

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.

Malacological collections of Unionidae family (Bivalvia) in the Croatian Natural History Museum

, 2021
Muzejske zbirke daju nam uvid u prijašnje stanje okoliša i bioraznolikosti, a njihova nezamjenjiva uloga je pružanje vrlo vrijednih skupova podataka godinama nakon prikupljanja primjeraka.
