The objective of this review is to update our previously published checklist of Recent
freshwater mussel species and genera (Graf & Cummings, 2007, J. Molluscan Stud.: 291 …

We identified 14 emerging and poorly understood threats and opportunities for addressing
the global conservation of freshwater mussels over the next decade. A panel of 17 …

With the biodiversity crisis continuing unchecked, we need to establish levels and drivers of
extinction risk, and reassessments over time, to effectively allocate conservation resources …

Molluscs are among the most diverse and widespread animal groups in freshwater habitats.
Unfortunately, like most freshwater taxa, they are decreasing dramatically and are now …

Abstract Freshwater mussels (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Unionida) have a broad global distribution
on every continent except Antarctica. However, owing to human activities, the diversity of …

The tribes Contradentini and Rectidentini (Unionidae) comprise a diverse clade of
freshwater mussels endemic to South-east Asia. Our understanding of the diversity and …

Accurate species identification is of primary importance in ecology and evolutionary biology.
For a long time, the unionid mussels Beringiana and Sinanodonta have puzzled researchers …

Freshwater mussels cannot spread through oceanic barriers and represent a suitable model
to test the continental drift patterns. Here, we reconstruct the diversification of Oriental …

Freshwater mussels are essential for the integrity of freshwater ecosystems but numbers of
these organisms are declining rapidly at regional and global scales. The phylogenetic and …

Accurate identification and precise classification of freshwater mussel species that are
among the most threatened freshwater taxa in the world, play a crucial role in informing …
