An unusual evolutionary strategy: the origins, genetic repertoire, and implications of doubly uniparental inheritance of mitochondrial DNA in bivalves
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is typically passed on to progeny only by the female parent. The
phenomenon of “doubly uniparental inheritance”(DUI) of mtDNA in many bivalve species is …

Population‐level effects of parasitism on a freshwater ecosystem engineer, the unionid mussel Anodonta anatina
Parasites can negatively affect hosts at individual, population, and species‐level scales.
However, the link between individual‐and population‐level impacts is often poorly …
