Sex-Associated Mitochondrial Genes: Tools for Understanding Unionid Reproduction and Development
Gonochoristic species of the bivalve order Unionida possess two types of mitochondria. The female-inherited mitochondria (F-mt) is found in the somatic cells of both sexes, while male-inherited mitochondria (M-mt) is found in the male gonad. These mitochondria possess different open reading frames …

Partitioning along reproductive niche dimensions in sympatric New Zealand freshwater bivalve species
… species of freshwater mussels in the order Unionida may need to partition resources to enable coexistence due to their relatively sedentary life-style and complex symbiotic life-phase dependent on host-fish. Although new data on their reproductive biology is being increasingly documented, …

Parasites in freshwater mussels: community ecology and conservation
… the ecosystem-engineering freshwater mussels (Unionida) and their macroparasites. As such, this thesis has three broad aims: to characterise knowledge to date on unionid mussel parasite communities and develop tools to further knowledge in this area; to analyse the drivers of parasite community …

Population trends and ecological community interactions of freshwater mussels
Freshwater mussels (order Unionida) are a globally widespread taxon which have been described as ecosystem engineers due to their capacity to modify freshwater habitats and facilitate other taxa, with effects on wider biodiversity. At the same time, freshwater mussels rank among the most threatened …
