The objective of this review is to update our previously published checklist of Recent
freshwater mussel species and genera (Graf & Cummings, 2007, J. Molluscan Stud.: 291 …

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 …

Accurate species identification is of primary importance in ecology and evolutionary biology.
For a long time, the unionid mussels Beringiana and Sinanodonta have puzzled researchers …

Graylings (Thymallus) are among the less well-studied groups of salmonid fishes, especially
across their Asian distribution range. Here we perform a comprehensive global review of …

Freshwater mussels cannot spread through oceanic barriers and represent a suitable model
to test the continental drift patterns. Here, we reconstruct the diversification of Oriental …

Hydrothermal vents are rare deep‐sea oases that house faunal assemblages with a similar
density of life as coral reefs. Only approximately 600 of these hotspots are known worldwide …

Hybridization and introgression are very common among freshwater fishes due to the
dynamic nature of hydrological landscapes. Cyclic patterns of allopatry and secondary …

Aim Biogeography seeks to identify and explain the spatial distributions of species and has
become an important tool used by conservationists to protect and manage aquatic …

Accurate species identification is crucial for developing conservation strategies for
freshwater mussels, one of the most imperiled faunas in the world. Traditionally, mussel …

Freshwater mussels preserve valuable information about hydrology, climate, and population
dynamics, but developing seasonal chronologies can be problematic. Using clumped …
