The increase in the frequency and intensity of droughts and heatwaves caused by climate
change poses a major threat to biodiversity. In aquatic systems, sedentary species such as …

Freshwater mussels are declining globally, and effective conservation requires prioritizing
research and actions to identify and mitigate threats impacting mussel species …

Freshwater bivalves are key faunal elements of aquatic ecosystems. Native species declines
are paralleled by increasing distribution and abundances of non-native species. Appropriate …

Freshwater mussels have disappeared from many US streams since the 1960s. These
declines are enigmatic: there are no clear causes and other components of aquatic …

Immunologists, perhaps understandably, most often concentrate on the human immune
system, an anthropocentric focus that has resulted in a dearth of information about the …

Shallow coastal environments are becoming more susceptible to marine heatwaves,
particularly in Atlantic Canada, which is experiencing higher rates of ocean warming …

Temperature has a key impact on the physiology, food acquisition, metabolic rate, growth,
and reproduction of organisms. Thus, exploring the effects of climate change on species …

Mussels are at particular risk from thermal stress and hypoxia due to limited range and
mobility. Of interest to managers is whether sensitivity is uniform or varies among species …

This study aimed to identify the importance of ecological factors to distribution patterns of the
invasive Clam (Corbicula fluminea) relative to native mussels (family: Unionidae) across …

Invasive species introduction is one of the major ongoing ecological global crises.
Identifying factors responsible for the success of invasive species is key for the …
