Fish and mussels: importance of fish for freshwater mussel conservation
Co‐extinctions are increasingly recognized as one of the major processes leading to the
global biodiversity crisis, but there is still limited scientific evidence on the magnitude of …

Effects of parasitic freshwater mussels on their host fishes: a review
Freshwater mussels in the order Unionida are highly adapted to parasitize fish for the
primary purpose of dispersal. The parasitic larval stage affixes itself to the gills or fins of the …

Disease ecology of wild fish: opportunities and challenges for linking infection metrics with behaviour, condition, and survival
Surmounting evidence supports that infectious agents play a critical role in sha** fish
physiology, behaviour, and survival. The exclusion of disease-causing agents from fisheries …

Invasive Chinese pond mussel Sinanodonta woodiana threatens native mussel reproduction by inducing cross‐resistance of host fish
SW Donrovich, K Douda… - Aquatic …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The effects of invasive alien species (IAS) on host–affiliate relationships are often subtle and
remain unnoticed or insufficiently quantified. The global decline of freshwater unionid …

Parasite-induced increases in the energy costs of movement of host freshwater fish
Parasitization by the larvae (glochidia) of freshwater mussels can cause harm to a fish's gills,
resulting in less effective respiration and/or reduced activity by the host fish. The impact of …

A meta‐analysis of how parasites affect host consumption rates
Parasites are known to mediate trophic interactions and can, for example, modify how
consumers acquire resources. These modifications of host feeding behaviour can be …

The role of local adaptation in sha** fish‐mussel coevolution
The survival of affiliate (dependent) species in a changing environment is determined by the
interactions between the affiliate species and their available hosts. However, the patterns of …

Direct impact of invasive bivalve (Sinanodonta woodiana) parasitism on freshwater fish physiology: evidence and implications
Direct and potentially damaging effects of invasive alien species can remain unnoticed or
insufficiently quantified, resulting in a lack of stakeholder awareness. We report for the first …

Cannibalism facilitated by parasite infection induces dispersal in a semi-aquatic insect
NL Regimbal, CB Baines - Philosophical Transactions B, 2024 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Parasites are known to have direct effects on host dispersal ability and motivation. Yet,
parasites have a variety of impacts on host populations, including sha** predation and …
