  1. 1. A parasitic bivalve affects the interaction between a native and an invasive salmonid

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Brander Isac; [2023-04-18]
    Keywords : Glochidia larvae; Infestation class; General dominance behavior; Dominant subordinate; Strikes;

    Abstract : The glochidia larvae of the freshwater pear mussel parasitize on juvenile brown trout during their maturation into tiny mussels. The parasitation has several negative impacts on the trout, one of the less studied being behavioral effects. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Effects of native freshwater mussels and leaf debris on benthic macroinvertebrate abundance and diversity : A field experiment with Margaritifera margaritifera in Vasslabäcken, Örebro county

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för miljö- och livsvetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Kai Sven Onken; [2021]
    Keywords : bivalve; functional role; habitat modification; decomposition; biodeposition;

    Abstract : Organisms that are part of complex ecosystems interact not only with other organisms but also with their environment, affecting ecosystem functions. In aquatic ecosystems filter feeders affect ecosystem functioning by transferring energy and nutrients from the water to the benthos. 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.

  6. 5. Intertidal species richness and abundances in a recent small Marine Protected Area in Portugal: lack of effects from protection suggests changing strategies in the future

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Justine Pagnier; [2020]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Marine protected areas (MPAs) are being created around the world as the concern on species and habitats preservation is growing. A widespread concern related to the important lack of regulation and effective conservation measures has been raised, calling the attention to the importance of no-take areas within MPA’s. READ MORE
