Abstract: Abstract Freshwater bivalve shell oxygen and carbon stable isotope ratios (δ18O, δ13C) may act as recorders of hydroclimate (e.g., precipitation-evaporation balance, discharge) and aquatic biogeochemistry. We investigate the potential of these hydroclimate proxies measured along… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gca.2021.05.023
Abstract: Abstract We test the applicability of bivalve shell oxygen isotope composition to reconstruct hydrological dynamics in four riverine sites in the Congo River basin. Twenty-three specimens from the Unionoida order were collected from locations where… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.879540
Abstract: Most freshwater mussels have an unusual life cycle that requires host fish species for larval (glochidia) development and dispersal. Glochidia have a unique morphological structure that adapts to parasitic lifestyles and survival. The morphology of… read more here.
