Host limitation of the thick‐shelled river mussel: identifying the threats to declining affiliate species
The conservation of endangered affiliate species, which are critically dependent on the
presence of another species, is often hindered by a poor understanding of the relationships …

What can we infer from the shell dimensions of the thick-shelled river mussel Unio crassus?
We studied shell variation in the thick-shelled river mussel (Unio crassus Philipson, 1788)
sampled from two sites of very different character:(1) a rocky channel (San river) and (2) a …
