Alarming decline of freshwater trigger species in western Mediterranean key bio...
Nogueira, Joana Garrido; Sousa, Ronaldo; Benaissa, Hassan; De Knijf, Geert; Ferreira, Sónia; Ghamizi, Mohamed; Gonçalves, Duarte V.; Lansdown, RichardTheidentification of key biodiversity areas (KBA) was initiated by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 2004 to overcome taxonomic biases in the selection of important areas for conservation, including freshwater ecosystems. Since then, several KBAs have been identified mainly based on the presence of trigger species (i.e., species that trigger either the vulnerability and or the irreplaceabili...

Conbiomics: the missing approach for the conservation of freshwater bivalves
Froufe, Elsa; Fonseca, Miguel M.; Teixeira, Amílcar; Varandas, Simone; Gonçalves, Duarte V.; Hinzmann, Mariana; Arenas-Arenas, Francisco JoséThe decline of freshwater biodiversity hás reached alarming proportions. The extinction rate of freshwater biodiversity is predicted to be five times faster than ali other groups of species. The Unionidae, being the largest of the freshwater bivalve families, is among the most endangered group in the world. They are important providers of aquatic ecosystem services and are characterized by an unusual pattem of ...
Diversity, biogeography and conservation of freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Union...
Zieritz, Alexandra; Bogan, Arthur E.; Froufe, Elsa; Klishko, Olga; Kondo, Takaki; Kovitvadhi, Uthaiwan; Kovitvadhi, Satit; Lee, Jin HeeRecent research efforts have significantly advanced our knowledge on Asian freshwater mussel (Bivalvia: Unionida) diversity and distribution. Here we provide a modern consensus of the diversity, biogeography and conservation of Unionida in the region comprising East and Southeast Asia (excluding Wallacea) and Asian Russia. A data review confirmed the presence of 228 native and 3 non-native Unionida (98% Unionid...
