A global meta‐analysis of ecological functions and regulating ecosystem service...
Zieritz, Alexandra; Brian, Joshua I.; Sousa, Ronaldo; Aldridge, David C.; Atkinson, Carla L.; Douda, Karel; Vaughn, Caryn; Bespalaya, YuliaFreshwater bivalves are globally distributed, diverse, and common in benthic communities. Many taxa, par-ticularly in the most species-rich order, Unionida, are declining due to anthropogenic stressors, while a small number of non-native species have become increasingly abundant and widespread, commonly replacing nativebivalve assemblages. To understand how these global changes may impact ecosystems and people,...
Fishing for hosts: larval spurting by the endangered thick-shelled river mussel...
Aldridge, David C.; Brian, Joshua I.; Cmiel, Adam; Lipinska, Anna; Lopes-Lima, Manuel; Sousa, Ronaldo; Teixeira, Amílcar; Zajac, KatarzynaUnderstanding the life-history characteristics of endangered species is crucial to their conservation, management, and predicting their responses to environmental change (Stark et al., 2004). Host specificity is central to the evolutionary diversification and conservation of the Unionida (Barnhart et al., 2008; Modesto et al., 2018). In the North American mussels of the Ambleminae subfamily, specificity toward ...
