topics (OpenAlex): Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior; Environmental Toxicology and Ecotoxicology; Pesticide and Herbicide Environmental Studies
TL;DR: The results show that the herbicide formulations and compounds tested were not acutely toxic to juveniles of these two species of freshwater mussels, indicating minimal risk of short-term exposure from florpyrauxifen-benzyl applications in the environment for aquatic weed control.

Chasing a changing climate: Reproductive and dispersal traits predict how sessile species respond to global warming

Archambault, J. M., Cope, W. G., & Kwak, T. J. (2018, March 30). (A. Ricciardi, Ed.). Diversity and Distributions, Vol. 24, pp. 880–891.

By: J. Archambault n, W. Cope n & T. Kwak*

Ed(s): A. Ricciardi

author keywords: adaptive management; climate change; endangered species; freshwater mussels; life history; Unionidae
topics (OpenAlex): Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior; Fish Ecology and Management Studies; Mollusks and Parasites Studies
TL;DR: Assessment of reproductive and dispersal traits of freshwater mussels, sessile invertebrates that require species‐specific fish for larval dispersal and other species' range shifts associated with climate change finds that limited mobility and imperilled status place some species at a potentially greater risk of range loss, extirpation or extinction due to climate change.

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

Archambault, J. M., Bergeron, C. M., Cope, W. G., Richardson, R. J., Heilman, M. A., Corey, J. E., … Heise, R. J. (2014, August 8). Journal of Freshwater Ecology, Vol. 30, pp. 335–348.

author keywords: fluridone (Sonar); endothall (Aquathol); unionid mussels; snails; LC50; toxicity; invasive species
topics (OpenAlex): Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior; Environmental Toxicology and Ecotoxicology; Mollusks and Parasites Studies
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.

author keywords: climate change; benthic fauna; stream flow; mussels; Unionidae; LT50; endangered species
topics (OpenAlex): Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior; Fish Ecology and Management Studies; Bone fractures and treatments
TL;DR: This work evaluated the sublethal effects of elevated temperature on burrowing behavior and byssus production in juveniles, and on enzymatic biomarkers of stress in adults in acute laboratory experiments in sediment, using two acclimation temperatures and two experimental water levels as proxies for flow regime.

author keywords: burrowing; byssus; climate change; freshwater; mesocosm
topics (OpenAlex): Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior; Fish Ecology and Management Studies
TL;DR: It is suggested that rising stream water temperature and dewatering may directly impact freshwater mussel abundance by causing mortality and may have indirect impacts via sublethal effects. (via Semantic Scholar)
