Freshwater mussels are dominant ecosystem engineers in many streams throughout North
America, yet they remain among the world's most imperiled fauna. Extensive research has …

In rivers, fine sediments are often transported over immobile coarse grains. With low
sediment supply, they tend to aggregate in longitudinal ribbons. Yet, the long‐term evolution …

Freshwater mussels live partially or fully buried in river sediments, and burrowing by
mussels causes bioturbation, increases benthic complexity, provides niche partitioning …

Measuring the flow field not just above but also inside the canopy of rough beds in open-
channel flows is challenging when optical access from below or the side is not possible. To …

Laboratory experiments were performed to study the impact of relative particle protrusion
P/D (P is the protrusion height and D is the diameter of the spherical target particle) on the …

This paper presents an investigation of near-bed hydrodynamics for a protruding coarse
particle over a regular roughened bed. The laboratory experiments were undertaken at the …

A comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of particle entrainment is crucial to
obtain accurate prediction of sediment transport rates. However, due to complexity of the …

The processes underlying sediment transport at grain scale are not fully understood. A
method to scale down the mechanics from stream reach to bedforms and further to grains …

In sediment supply-limited river systems, fine sediments are often transported over a layer of
immobile gravel. The level of protrusion of the coarse immobile gravel strongly influences …
