Unionid freshwater mussels are one of the most imperilled groups in North America. They
play an important role in freshwater ecosystems, both as a food source and as filter feeders …

Aim Present a hybrid biogeographic and environmentally constrained clustering approach to

Our study incorporates high-resolution, multivariate ecological niche modeling (ENM) to test
whether two putative state-threatened mussel species in East Texas (Fusconaia askewi and …

Unionid freshwater mussels are a threatened fauna, and understanding their distribution is
essential to aid and promote conservation efforts. Therefore, we (1) compared patterns of …

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

Despite a developing literature on urban streams, few studies have addressed the timing
and mechanisms of urban-induced stream hydrogeomorphic adjustment on biotic …

This paper provides support for the concept of geomorphic process domains developed by
Montgomery (1999) by linking geomorphic processes to ecological variations seen in the …

The influence of tributaries on mussel assemblages of the river mainstem are poorly
understood. This paper aims to understand differences in mussel habitat associations …

East Texas contains the highest diversity of mussels in the state. Of the 37 species in East
Texas, six are listed by the state as threatened and three have been proposed for listing as …

Hydrologic and thermal regimes vary along the upstream-to-downstream river continuum
and drive the assembly of fish communities. The metabolic cold adaptation (MCA) …
