A dataset of individual wet weights of benthic macroinvertebrates

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 696-715, December 2024.
Abstract Biomass estimates are crucial for modeling and understanding energy flow through ecosystems. Many modeling frameworks rely on published body weights of organisms to convert density estimates to biomass. However, published body weight data are limited to few taxa in a limited number of systems. Here we present mean individual weights for common

Unclear host taxonomy hinders parasite studies: An up‐to‐date checklist of the protozoan and metazoan parasites of Phoxinus minnows (Teleostei: Leuciscidae)

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 105, Issue 6, Page 1501-1539, December 2024.
Abstract Phoxinus minnows are small freshwater fish found throughout Eurasia. The taxonomy of this genus is still under investigation, and new species are regularly described. They are frequently introduced outside their native range due to their use as live bait for angling, and such fish introductions can have diverse impacts on the recipient areas ...

Pathobiology and first report of larval nematodes (Ascaridomorpha sp.) infecting freshwater mussels (Villosa nebulosa, Unionidae), including an inventory of nematode infections in freshwater and marine bivalves

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
Little information is available on host-parasite relationships between bivalves and larval nematodes. Herein, we describe nematode larvae (likely stage 2) in the infraorder Ascaridomorpha infecting the foot, intestine, and mantle of a freshwater mussel ...

Monitoring of Endangered Freshwater Mussels in Sweden Using Digital PCR

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 6, November–December 2024.
In this study, we use novel digital PCR eDNA assays to monitor endangered freshwater mussels in Sweden. The method is proved to be very sensitive and allows us to monitor four species simultaneously. ABSTRACT Freshwater mussels are traditionally monitored by visual observations which is time‐consuming and can be difficult depending on water conditions.

An Update on the Conservation Status Assessment of two Endangered Freshwater Mussel Species in Bavaria, Germany

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 10, October 2024.
ABSTRACT The two highly endangered European mussel species Margaritifera margaritifera and Unio crassus are target species of conservation. Based on a recently completed systematic state‐wide monitoring of each 22 M. margaritifera and 22 U. crassus streams in Bavaria, Germany, we present an update on population trends, conservation status, habitat ...

Nucleus Pearl Coating Process of Freshwater Mussel Anodonta woodiana (Unionidae)

Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2013
The limiting factor which is a weakness of sea water pearl production are high costs, the risk of major business failures and a long coating time. From the issue of freshwater pearls appear to have prospects of alternative substitution for sea water ...
