Recent molecular approaches to taxonomy have led to a steady increase in the identification of cryptic species. Within the Etheriidae, the species Etheria elliptica (freshwater oyster) is widespread and common and exists in most of the major African

Determining the genetic diversity of unionid populations is important for the preservation of the species and ecosystems in which they reside. The Yellow lampmussel, Lampsilis cariosa, is an endangered unionid found along the Atlantic Slope drainages

article i nfo Burrowing mayfly species of the genus Hexagenia are well known indicators of environmental health in lakes and rivers. Two species, H. limbata and H. rigida, are indistinguishable as nymphs and as adult females. Our objectives were to d

Extrinsic and intrinsic forces combined shape the population structure of every species differently. Freshwater mussels are obligate parasites to a host fish during a juvenile stage (glochidia). Elliptio dilatata (ED) and Actinonaias ligamentina (AL)

Over 70% of North American freshwater mussel species (families Unionidae and Margaritiferidae) are listed as threatened or endangered. Knowledge of the genetic structure of target species is essential for the development of effective conservation pla

To investigate the occurrence of thermal adaptation in the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, inhabiting the lower reaches of the Mississippi River, we compared lethal heat-tolerance among three populations (mussels collected at Lake Pepin, MN; Alto

SUMMARY 1. We predicted that zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas), genetic structure in the Mississippi River would follow a model of invasive species genetics, which predicts low genetic structure among populations of recently established spe

Previous work has suggested that zebra mussel populations differ in temperature tolerance and researchers have hypothesized that these differences have been caused by natural selection. For selection to act on a phenotypic character such as heat tole

We sampled 7 populations of zebra mussels along a latitudinal gradient in the Mississippi River. We scored 6 allozyme loci for all individuals using cellulose acetate gel electrophoresis and estimated heterozygosity of, and genetic variation among, p
