DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9557
Abstract: Abstract In North America, native unionid mussels are imperiled due to factors such as habitat degradation, pollution, and invasive species. One of the most substantial threats is that posed by dreissenid mussels, which are invasive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/etc.4305
Abstract: The temporal expansion of harmful algal blooms, primarily associated with cyanobacteria, may impact aquatic organisms at vulnerable life-history stages. Broadcast spawning species release gametes into the water column for external fertilization, directly exposing sperm to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10499-021-00710-9
Abstract: Large-scale losses of spat are commonplace during the early stages of mussel aquaculture costing the industry millions in lost production. The dominant cause of this poor spat retention is thought to be secondary settlement behavior,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-017-3453-3
Abstract: Drought often causes emersion, which can seriously damage aquatic organisms in inland aquatic ecosystems. To identify mussel characteristics associated with emersion tolerance, I investigated relationships between survival duration and mussel characteristics under an experimental emersion… read more here.
