Ecosystem services are the benefits that humans derive from ecosystems. Freshwater
mussels perform many important functions in aquatic ecosystems, which can in turn be …

Pharmaceuticals are an important class of micropollutants within the freshwater
environment. There is sufficient evidence of their impacts on exposed biota to warrant further …

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

Co‐extinctions are increasingly recognized as one of the major processes leading to the
global biodiversity crisis, but there is still limited scientific evidence on the magnitude of …

Six conclusions have emerged from recent research that complicate the ability to predict
how biodiversity losses may affect ecosystem function:(1) species traits determine …

We identified 14 emerging and poorly understood threats and opportunities for addressing
the global conservation of freshwater mussels over the next decade. A panel of 17 …

Freshwater mussel larval parasitism of fish is unique among bivalves. The relationship is
primarily phoretic rather than nutritive; only the smallest glochidia and the haustorial larva …

Due to the interconnectedness of aquatic ecosystems through the highly effective marine
and atmospheric transport routes, all aquatic ecosystems are potentially vulnerable to …

The present study measured the occurrence, distribution, and bioaccumulation of fluoxetine
in samples of water, polar organic chemical integrative sampler (POCIS), sediment, and …

In tropical countries soil erosion is often increased due to high erodibility of geologically old
and weathered soils; intensive rainfall; inappropriate soil management; removal of forest …
