  1. 1. Does turbidity affect critical thermal maximum (CTM) of mussels : Behavioural changes in Unio tumidus under stress

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Ellinor Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : CTM; critical thermal maximum; turbidity; suspended solids; Unio tumidus; freshwater mussel; bivalve; climate change; Unionida; CTM; turbiditet; grumlighet; suspenderade ämnen; Unio tumidus; sötvattensmussla; musslor; klimatförändringar; Unionida;

    Abstract : Freshwater mussels is one the most endangered groups of organisms worldwide and stand in front of several threats. Global warming along with anthropogenic influence affect the mussel’s natural habitat and stress leads to changes in their behaviour. READ MORE

  3. 2. Freshwater bivalves with ecosystem engineering traits : The biodeposition rate of A. anatina and U. tumidus

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Gullstrand Tova; [2022]
    Keywords : Freshwater bivalves; biodeposition rate; A. anatina; U. tumidus; faeces; pseudofaeces; duck mussel; swollen river mussel; Sötvattensmusslor; biodepositionshastighet; A. anatina; U. tumidus; avföring; pseudoavföring; allmän dammussla; spetsig målarmussla;

    Abstract : Freshwater bivalves of the family Unionidae have filter-feeding traits that alter freshwater ecosystems on several trophic levels. Filtration of organic and inorganic particulates in the water column transform matter through the mussel’s egestion before it is sequestered in the sediment, making it available as food for benthic invertebrates.

  4. 3. Genomic sequencing of freshwater mussel unio tumidus using the minion

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Firouzeh Mehni; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Freshwater mussels are aquatic organisms that are involved in nutrient cycling and water purification. Freshwater mussels have filtering activity and transfer nutrients and energy-rich organic compounds from the water column to the sediments. READ MORE

  5. 4. Transcriptomic analysis on freshwater mussels for identification of potential biomarkers to monitor water ecosystems

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Md Mehedi Hasan Joyon; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Stress-specific expression of cellular proteins in responses to exogenous exposure and resulting physiological alteration provides important insight into the field of ecological research. Due to its habitat, feeding, lifestyle and physiologic properties, mussel has become an important indicative measure of aquatic environment pollution in order to assess effect of these pollution in aquatic life.
