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 …

Asian clams (Corbicula fluminea) have been extensively applied in biomonitoring and other
environmental fields based on their high enrichment capacity and rapid response to …

Ecological theory posits that higher species richness should be associated with greater
exploitation of resources and niche packing resulting from either increasing species niche …

Abstract Freshwater mussels (Mollusca: Unionidae) play a crucial role in freshwater river
environments where they live in multi-species aggregations and often serve as long-lived …

Eutrophication and cyanobacterial blooms have severely affected many freshwater
ecosystems. We studied the effects of filter-feeding fish and bivalves on algal populations …

In outdoor mesocosms, we experimentally studied the effect of combining two native filter
feeders, bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) and Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea), to control …

We examined the effect of TSS concentration on the clearance rates (CR) of newly
transformed juvenile and adult Lampsilis fasciola, L. siliquoidea, Ligumia nasuta, and …

The introduction of invasive species has become an increasing environmental problem in
freshwater ecosystems due to the high economic and ecological impacts it has generated …

Bioaccumulation tests with invertebrates have recently been discussed as a suitable
alternative to bioaccumulation tests with metal‐or metal oxide‐based nanoparticles in fish …

Unionid mussels from clear‐water rivers are often found in turbid waters in which their
feeding and reproductive efficiency should be impaired. We examined the feeding response …
