DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8909
Abstract: Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are an increasingly important tool for conservation particularly for difficult‐to‐study locations and with understudied fauna. Our aims were to (1) use SDMs and ensemble SDMs to predict the distribution of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/etc.3642
Abstract: Freshwater mussels, one of the most imperiled groups of animals in the world, are generally underrepresented in toxicity databases used for the development of ambient water quality criteria and other environmental guidance values. Acute 96-h… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/etc.5606
Abstract: Although freshwater mussels are imperiled and identified as key conservation priorities, limited bioaccumulation information is available on these organisms for contaminants of emerging concern. In the present study we investigated the bioaccumulation of per‐ and… read more here.

Contributions of freshwater mussels (Unionidae) to nutrient cycling in an urban river: filtration, recycling, storage, and removal
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Biogeochemistry"
DOI: 10.1007/s10533-017-0376-z
Abstract: Consumers contribute to nutrient cycling in aquatic ecosystems by nutrient retention in tissues, metabolic transformations and excretion, and promoting microbial processes that remove nutrients (i.e., nitrogen (N) loss via denitrification). Freshwater mussels (Unionidae) form dense… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2018.07.054
Abstract: The implementation of ecologically relevant sub-lethal endpoints in toxicity testing with freshwater mussels can provide valuable information during risk assessment, especially since these organisms are often exposed to low levels of contaminants. This study examined… read more here.
