Book Description
Pearly mussels (Unionoidea) live in lakes, rivers, and streams around the world. These bivalves play important roles in freshwater ecosystems and were once both culturally and economically valuable as sources of food, pearls, and mother-of-pearl. Today, however, hundreds of species of these mussels are extinct or endangered. David L. Strayer provides a critical synthesis of the factors that control the distribution and abundance of pearly mussels. Using empirical analyses and models, he assesses the effects of dispersal, habitat quality, availability of fish hosts, adequate food, predators, and parasites. He also addresses conservation issues that apply to other inhabitants of fresh waters around the globe and other pressing issues in contemporary ecology.

Book Description
The objective of this guide is to help field biologists conduct better surveys of freshwater mussel populations. It opens with a discussion of several considerations and a question that should direct the design of any study of mussel populations. The authors then present sampling designs and methods that may be useful to mussel biologists. The also discuss examples of study designs that address several common objectives of studies of mussel populations.
