Understanding the influence of multiple pollutant stressors on the decline of freshwater mussels in a biodiversity hotspot

SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 773, 144757.

By: W. Cope  n, C. Bergeron n, J. Archambault n, J. Jones *, B. Beaty*, P. Lazaro n, D. Shea n , J. Callihan n, J. Rogers*

author keywords: Unionidae; Habitat; Metals; Organic contaminants; Clinch River
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Bivalvia; Environmental Monitoring; Environmental Pollutants; Fresh Water; Tennessee; Virginia; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity
TL;DR: This study revealed that PAHs and Mn are important pollutant stressors to mussels in the Clinch River and that they are largely being delivered through the Guest River tributary watershed. (via Semantic Scholar)

2016 journal article

Assessing toxicity of contaminants in riverine suspended sediments to freshwater mussels

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 36(2), 395–407.

By: J. Archambault n, C. Bergeron n, W. Cope  n, P. Lazaro n, J. Leonard n & D. Shea n 

Contributors: J. Archambault n, C. Bergeron n, W. Cope n , P. Lazaro n, J. Leonard n & D. Shea n 

author keywords: Unionoida; Water quality; Ammonia; Metal; Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon
MeSH headings : Agriculture; Ammonia / analysis; Ammonia / toxicity; Animals; Environmental Monitoring / methods; Geologic Sediments / analysis; Geologic Sediments / chemistry; Metals, Heavy / analysis; Metals, Heavy / toxicity; Mining; Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons / analysis; Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons / toxicity; Rivers / chemistry; Tennessee; Unionidae / drug effects; Virginia; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity
TL;DR: It is found that sediments collected with sediment traps over relatively short deployment durations can help elucidate recent contaminant influx and its potential for inducing toxicity in benthic organisms. (via Semantic Scholar)

2014 journal article

Sensitivity of freshwater molluscs to hydrilla-targeting herbicides: providing context for invasive aquatic weed control in diverse ecosystems

JOURNAL OF FRESHWATER ECOLOGY, 30(3), 335–348.

By: J. Archambault n, C. Bergeron n, W. Cope  n, R. Richardson n , M. Heilman *, J. Corey*, M. Netherland*, R. Heise*

author keywords: fluridone (Sonar); endothall (Aquathol); unionid mussels; snails; LC50; toxicity; invasive species
TL;DR: Fluridone and endothall concentrations typically recommended for hydrilla treatment were not acutely toxic to the molluscs the authors tested and a 28-d exposure to flurid one was not lethal to adult mussels even at the highest concentration, indicating minimal risk of short-term exposure effects.
