A curated dataset on the distribution of West Palaearctic freshwater bivalves
Lopes-Lima, Manuel; Aldridge, David C.; Álvarez, María G.; Araujo, Rafael; Barea-Azcón, José Miguel; Bikashvili, Ani; Bragado, Dolores; Bylyna, LiliaFreshwater bivalves (FWB) are attracting scientific and societal attention given their essential ecosystem services, ecological functions, and poor conservation status. Current knowledge of the spatial distribution of West Palearctic FWB is poor preventing the understanding of biogeography and conservation planning. One of the priorities of the pan-European networking project "CONFREMU - Conservation of freshwa...
Conservation challenges imposed by evolutionary history and habitat suitability...
Reis, Joaquim; Perea, Silvia; Gama, Mafalda; Mendes, Sofia L.; Sousa, Vitor C.; Lima, Cristina S.; Banha, Filipe; Gil, Maria; Alvarez, Maria GarciaClimate change and associated shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns have become an increasing concern as drivers of ongoing biodiversity loss. The Mediterranean region is particularly vulnerable, being both a biodiversity hotspot and a region very prone to desertification. Freshwater mussels are amongst the most threatened invertebrate taxa worldwide. Unio tumidiformis is an endemic and endangered sp...

beta-catenin and Its Relation to Alveolar Bone Mechanical Deformation - A Study...
Ferreira, Beatriz Carmona; Freire, Alexandre Rodrigues; Araujo, Rafael; Amaral-Silva, Gleyson Kleber do; Okamoto, Roberta [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2020-12-10T20:03:23Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-06-05; Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP); The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between alveolar bone deformation and beta-catenin expression levels in response to the mechanical load changed by dental extraction in adult rats. Twenty-four male rats (Rattus norvegicu...
Research priorities for freshwater mussel conservation assessment
Ferreira-Rodríguez, Noé; Akiyama, Yoshihiro B.; Aksenova, Olga V.; Araujo, Rafael; Barnhart, M. Christopher; Bespalaya, Yulia V.; Bogan, Arthur E.Freshwater mussels are declining globally, and effective conservation requires prioritizing research and actions to identify and mitigate threats impacting mussel species. Conservation priorities vary widely, ranging from preventing imminent extinction to maintaining abundant populations. Here, we develop a portfolio of priority research topics for freshwater mussel conservation assessment. To address these top...

Conservation status of freshwater mussels in Europe: state of the art and futur...
Lopes-Lima, Manuel; Sousa, Ronaldo; Geist, Juergen; Aldridge, David C.; Araujo, Rafael; Bergengren, Jakob; Bespalaya, Yulia V.; Bódis, ErikaFreshwater mussels of the Order Unionida provide important ecosystem functions and services, yet many of their populations are in decline. We comprehensively review the status of the 16 currently recognized species in Europe, collating for the first time their life-history traits, distribution, conservation status, habitat preferences, and main threats in order to suggest future management actions. In northern,...

Life history of the freshwater mussel Unio tumidiformis (Bivalvia: Unionidae) i...
Reis, Joaquim; Araujo, RafaelMediterranean‐type streams are characterized by great seasonal and annual variation in flow. We studied the biology of the freshwater mussel Unio tumidiformis in such a stream, the Vascão River in southern Portugal, during a period of great interannual variation in hydrology. We studied growth patterns of the mussels between 2002–2008, and the reproductive cycle between 2005–2006. Life‐history parameters were c...
