Baltic sculpin

Jacek Dołęga, Adam M. Ćmiel, Dariusz Halabowski, Katarzyna Zając et autres

Freshwater mussels of the family Unionidae require an obligatory parasitic larval stage on a specific fish host species to complete their ontogeny. This relationship can be highly specific to co-evolving species and geographically variable, although information regarding host suitability remains scarce. Recent …

A multiverse of trophic networks and coevolutionary trajectories among holoparasitic Orobanchaceae and their animal associates: a global perspective

Renata Piwowarczyk, Karolina Wiśniewska, Tomasz Rewicz, Tomasz Olbrycht et autres

Holoparasitism, in achlorophyllous, fully heterotrophic plants, is one of the most peculiar symbioses in the plant world. In particular, holoparasites from Orobanchaceae, the largest parasitic plant family, have evolved unique visual and olfactory signals in the plant kingdom, and thus play a …

An Urgent Call for the Coordinated Monitoring of European Freshwater Mussels

Tadeusz A. Zając, David C. Aldridge, Manuel Lopes‐Lima, Katarzyna Zając et autres

ABSTRACT Large freshwater mussels, also known as naiads, are important organisms that provide crucial ecosystem functions and services but are experiencing significant declines across Europe. To ensure effective conservation, it is essential to have a well‐coordinated monitoring scheme. Therefore, we analyzed the …

Evidence for dilution effect by Gobio gobio, a dead-end host in the Unio crassus–Cyprinidae coevolutionary system

Jacek Dołęga, Tadeusz A. Zając, Adam Marcin Ćmiel, Anna M. Lipińska et autres

Freshwater mussels (Unionidae) depend on specific fish hosts to complete their life cycle. Glochidia, their parasitic larvae, must attach to the gills or fins of suitable fish species to metamorphose. However, non-host fish may intercept glochidia, reducing larval availability for competent hosts-a …

A curated dataset on the distribution of West Palaearctic freshwater bivalves

Manuel Lopes‐Lima, David C. Aldridge, María García Álvarez, Rafael Araújo et autres

Freshwater bivalves (FWB) are attracting scientific and societal attention given their essential ecosystem services, ecological functions, and poor conservation status. Current knowledge of the spatial distribution of West Palearctic FWB is poor preventing the understanding of biogeography and conservation planning. One of …

Spawning in a threatened freshwater mussel shifts to earlier dates as a result of increasing summer mortality

Tadeusz A. Zając, Katarzyna Zając

Freshwater mussels are among the most imperilled groups of animals on the globe, however, the drivers of mussel declines are still poorly understood. Here we show that in a seasonal environment, Unio crassus females can initiate spawning from late winter to late …

Microclimatological consequences for plant and microbial composition in Sphagnum-dominated peatlands

Bjorn J. M. Robroek, E. R. Jasper Wubs, Magalí Martí, Katarzyna Zając et autres

In three Scandinavian peatlands we studied to what extent plant and microbial community compositions are governed by local-scale microhabitat, with a special interest in the effect of aspect (i.e. exposition of slopes). Despite differences in solar irradiance between the south- and north-facing …

Discovery of adults of the gorgoderid trematode Cercaria duplicata with first morphological description, molecular identification and notes on host specificity

Virmantas Stunžėnas, Romualda Petkevičiūtė, Katarzyna Zając, Jacek Dołęga et autres

Rhopalocercous Cercaria duplicata von Baer, 1827 develops in an intermediate host, the unionid bivalve Anodonta anatina (L.), but its adult form has been unknown. We examined eight fish species occurring in the presence of a highly infested population of A. anatina in …

Off the conservation radar: the hidden story of Europe's tiny pea clams (Bivalvia: Sphaeriidae)

Dariusz Halabowski, Ronaldo Sousa, Manuel Lopes‐Lima, Ian J. Killeen et autres

Abstract This study highlights the conservation problems faced by the tiny freshwater bivalves of the family Sphaeriidae, also known as pea, pill, or fingernail clams (or mussels) in Europe. Despite their global distribution, assumed ecological importance, and potential uses, basic knowledge about …

Integrative phylogenetic, phylogeographic and morphological characterisation of the Unio crassus species complex reveals cryptic diversity with important conservation implications

Manuel Lopes‐Lima, Juergen P. Geist, Sarah Egg, Luboš Beran et autres

The global decline of freshwater mussels and their crucial ecological services highlight the need to understand their phylogeny, phylogeography and patterns of genetic diversity to guide conservation efforts. Such knowledge is urgently needed for Unio crassus, a highly imperilled species originally widespread …
