Byssus Production in Freshwater Mussels (Bivalvia: Unionoidea)
Freshwater mussels (Order Unionoida) are a widespread and ecologically significant group of bivalve mollusks that are particularly diverse in North American rivers. Mussels are patchily distributed, but can be very abundant in suitable habitat and dense multispecies aggregations known as "mussel …

Acute Toxicity of Ammonia and Copper to Mussel (Bivalvia: Unionidae) Glochidia Inside and Outside of Conglutinates
… freshwater organisms. Freshwater mussels (Unionoida) are unusually sensitive to certain pollutants and therefore have potential to drive water quality standards. However, data must be based on the normal routes and duration of exposure of each life stage to pollutants. Larval mussels …

Parasite host interaction between the freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) – the impact from glochidia larvae on the host
… The numerous freshwater bivalves of the order Unionoida all have a parasitic larval stage, also known as glochidia, parasitizing fish hosts. The freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera is a host specialist and their glochidia can only metamorphose on salmonid fish (Salmonidae), and …

Population Genetic Structure of Unionid Mussels Across Multiple Gulf Drainages
Understanding patterns of genetic differentiation within and across wildlife populations is a key component to parsing the demographic and ecological processes that govern the spatial structure and evolutionary trends of a given species. As molecular and computational techniques continue to …
