Abstract: The acute toxicity of carbosulfan and chlorpyrifos in formulated pesticides to glochidia (larvae) of the freshwater mussel (Hyriopsis bialata Simpson, 1900) was evaluated under static conditions in moderately hard dechlorinated tap water. Measured pesticide concentrations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2018.07.047
Abstract: Water quality and contaminants have been frequently identified as critical stressors for freshwater mussels, many species of which are highly imperiled throughout North America and the world. Nutrient pollution, specifically nitrate, has become one of… read more here.

Description of the glochidia of Alathyria pertexta pertexta Iredale, 1934 (Bivalvia : Hyriidae) from south-eastern Queensland
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Australian Journal of Zoology"
DOI: 10.1071/zo19056
Abstract: Most freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionida) have larvae (glochidia in Margaritiferidae, Hyriidae and Unionidae) that are parasitic on fishes. Mechanisms of glochidia release and morphological features (size, shape, larval teeth, etc.) vary across taxa and geography.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/14772019.2018.1498034
Abstract: Unionid bivalves are a common and widely distributed group of freshwater mussels, presumably known since the Triassic. One peculiar trait is their life cycle, with brooding of eggs in portions of the gills and release… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2022-0149
Abstract: Unionid mussels are imperiled worldwide. Understanding the impacts of thermal and hypoxia stress on larval (glochidia) and adult physiology is critical for understanding potential impacts of climate change. We tested whether brood viability (proportion of… read more here.

First Immunodetection of Sensory and Nervous Systems of Parasitic Larvae (Glochidia) of Freshwater Bivalve Nodularia douglasiae
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Physiology"
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.
