DOI: 10.1007/s10750-017-3113-7
Abstract: Unio tumidus is a native European freshwater mussel from the family Unionidae. These mussels have a unique system of mitochondrial DNA inheritance called doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI). Under DUI, two types of mitochondrial DNA are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.128391
Abstract: Naphthalene sulfonic acids (NSAs) are used primarily as additives in a wide range of industrial products (e.g., rubber materials, coatings, sealants, fuels, paints). Based on modeled physicochemical properties, NSAs would likely partition into sediments or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2019.109638
Abstract: Magnesium (Mg) is a common contaminant in mine water discharges. Although Mg is an essential element in biological processes, increased concentrations from anthropogenic sources can stress aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, studies evaluating the effects of Mg… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-63612-5
Abstract: While a growing body of modern phylogenetic research reveals that the Western Indochina represents a separate biogeographic subregion having a largely endemic freshwater fauna, the boundaries of this subregion are still unclear. We use freshwater… read more here.
