Molluscs are among the most diverse and widespread animal groups in freshwater habitats.
Unfortunately, like most freshwater taxa, they are decreasing dramatically and are now …

Abstract The United States of America has a diverse collection of freshwater mussels
comprising 301 species distributed among 59 genera and two families (Margaritiferidae and …

Our understanding of the factors driving the distribution of metacommunities at different
scales can be obscured by high variation in species composition between sites and a lack of …

An increase in extreme droughts and floods is expected with current and future climate
changes. Such extreme climate events may have long-lasting impact on more sessile …

Riverine ecosystems are dependent in large part on the climate of the region, and climate
change is expected to alter climatic factors of interest, such as precipitation, temperature …

To advance current environmental flow standards in Texas, we developed field, laboratory,
and analytical methods to model recruitment dynamics of indicator species selected to cover …

Understanding the drivers of distribution and assemblage composition of aquatic organisms
is an important aspect of management and conservation, especially in freshwater systems …

As the intensity and frequency of drought and drying events are predicted to increase
globally with climate warming and increasing human water usage, there is an urgent need to …

Life history strategies have long been used in ecological analyses and theories but have
only recently been applied to frameworks for freshwater mussels, which are a highly …

Freshwater mussels are sensitive to changes in their environment, exhibiting lower
physiological performance and increased susceptibility to parasitic infection when under …
