Download or read book Ecology and Evolution of the Freshwater Mussels Unionoida written by G. Bauer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All those who think that bivalves are boring are in the best company. Karl von Frisch is reported to have turned the pages more quickly in texts where bivalves were treated because, according to him, they literally lack any behaviour. The fact that they can filtrate huge amounts of water, burrow into the sedi ment, actively swim, drill holes into rocks and boats or detect shadows with the aid of pretty blue eyes located on the rim of their mantle obviously left v. Frisch unimpressed. Why, then, a book on the large freshwater mussels (Naiads or Unionoida), which on first sight are much less spectacular than the marine ones? The main reason is that they are keepers of secrets which they reveal only on close and careful inspection. This is not only true for the pearls some species produce and which over centuries have contributed to the treasures of bishops and kings, but particularly for their ecology: their life cycles are linked with those of fishes, some can occur in incredible densities and some can live for more than 100 years. Thus, the presence or absence of naiads in a lake or stream has manifold implications.

Book excerpt: Also known as freshwater clams, naiads or unionids, freshwater mussels are found all over the world, but are most diverse in North America. A major food source for many animals such as muskrats, herons, and some fish, they play a unique and important role in cleansing our lakes and rivers by filtering out and consuming microscopic organisms and particles of organic matter that would otherwise accumulate in the water column. This booklet is intended to increase awareness of the life and world of freshwater mussels.
Download or read book Freshwater Mollusks of the World written by Charles Lydeard and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive resource on the biology and evolution of freshwater mollusks. There are more species of freshwater mollusks—well over 5,000—than all the mammal species of the world. Freshwater mollusks are also arguably the most endangered fauna on the planet. Yet few references exist for researchers, shell enthusiasts, and general readers who are interested in learning more about these fascinating creatures. In Freshwater Mollusks of the World, Charles Lydeard and Kevin S. Cummings fill that void with contributions from dozens of renowned mollusk experts. Touching on 34 families of freshwater gastropods (snails) and 9 families of freshwater bivalves (mussels and clams), each chapter provides a synthesis of the latest research on the diversity and evolutionary relationships of the family. The book also includes • a look at how evolving DNA sequencing data techniques help shed light on mollusk taxonomy • distribution maps of each family's biogeographic locales • a representative photo and distribution map for each of the freshwater mollusk families • the latest information on each family's conservation status—and how to reverse the habitat destruction, modification, and pollution that threatens it • a discussion of the ecological and economic damages caused by invasive mollusk species, as well as their role as disease vectors Mollusks provide us with amazing biogeographical insights: their ancient fossil record goes back over 500 million years, and their distribution patterns are a reflection of past continental and climate changes. The only comprehensive summary of systematic and biodiversity information on freshwater mollusk families throughout the world, this reference is a must for malacologists, limnologists, ichthyologists, stream ecologists, biogeographers, and conservation biologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Canadian Freshwater Mussel Research Meeting was held at the Canada Centre for Inland Waters in Burlington, Ontario on March 30, 2016. The meeting was jointly hosted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry with financial support from the University of Guelph and the Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Society. The workshop included 23 platform presentations and three poster presentations. The meeting was attended by 90 individuals (65 in person and 25 via WebEx). The objective of this meeting was to bring together Canadian malacologists to share past, current and ongoing research on freshwater molluscs. Topics of discussion included mussel distribution and conservation, threat evaluation, conservation genetics, sampling issues, recovery efforts, and stewardship activities. With representation from the Pacific to the Atlantic, attendees came from six Canadian provinces (BC, MB, ON, QC, NB, NS) and two American states (MI, NY) and represented federal departments, provincial/state agencies, academic institutions, environmental non-governmental organizations, naturalist groups, zoos, museums, and interested citizens. There was an emphasis on building relationships so that collaborations can be used for future research opportunities.
