DOI: 10.1002/aqc.70169
Abstract: The freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera (FPM) has substantially declined throughout Europe. It is a target species in conservation of freshwater biodiversity, with several restoration and captive breeding efforts in place. Understanding the spatiotemporal patterns… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-021-04522-z
Abstract: Juveniles of the endangered freshwater pearl mussel (FPM, Margaritifera margaritifera) live burrowed in stream substrate for the first years of their life. Fine sediments block water exchange within substrate and may cause juvenile mortality and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-024-10636-0
Abstract: Background In bivalves, the rate at which organisms grow is a major functional trait underlying many aspects of their commercial production. Growth is a highly polygenic trait, which is typically regulated by many genes with… read more here.

Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Diversity"
DOI: 10.3390/d16030187
Abstract: Freshwater mussel populations are in sharp decline and are considered to be one of the most imperilled groups globally. Consequently, the number of captive breeding programmes has increased rapidly in recent years, coupled with subsequent… read more here.
