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: 10.1007/s12686-018-1051-y
Abstract: We described here the successful identification of three economic aquaculture mussel species in China and their hybrids by high resolution melting curve analysis (HRM) of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The nuclear 18S ribosomal RNA gene… read more here.

DOI: 10.1086/703415
Abstract: Rhodeus amarus is a cyprinid fish that spawns in the mantle cavity of freshwater mussels, resulting in a fitness cost to the host mussel. Rhodeus amarus is expanding its geographic range in Europe, hence the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.14066
Abstract: Freshwater mussels share habitat and are parasites of freshwater fishes during the larval life stage. Therefore, models of fish biogeography may also explain the historical biogeography of freshwater mussels. We tested this assumption using predictions… read more here.
