  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. 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.

  5. 4. Genomic DNA sequencing of freshwater mussel using the minion

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Sanam Zeb; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Freshwater mussels (Unionida) belong to phylum Mollusca and live in freshwater habitats, such as lakes and rivers. Freshwater mussels have high capacity for water purification and play an important role in calcium recycling. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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
