We review the diversity of freshwater organisms in the Mediterranean Basin (hereafter Med),
particularly from streams and rivers. We present available information on the richness …

The taxonomy and biogeographic history of the bivalve family Margaritiferidae are
controversial because previous molecular studies did not provide a well-resolved …

Freshwater biodiversity is under threat, but long-term quantitative studies showing major
demographic declines in invertebrate species are still scarce. Here we focus on a long-term …

Delimiting species boundaries is a fundamental yet challenging task that has been
especially problematic in morphologically conserved lineages. The use of genetic markers …

Climate change may lead to range shifts, and barriers to such displacements may result in
extirpations from previously suitable habitats. This may be particularly important in …

Depuis la publication de la Liste de référence des mollusques continentaux de France par
Falkner et al.(2002), le nombre de changements est tel qu'une mise à jour a été nécessaire …

We used historical written accounts from Spain to describe the long-term dynamics in the
distributions of tench (Tinca tinca), common carp (Cyprinus carpio), and white-clawed …

Here, we present a synthesis of the available knowledge on the Giant Freshwater Pearl
Mussel Pseudunio auricularius (= Margaritifera auricularia)(Spengler, 1793). We also …

Mussels of order Unionida are a group of strictly freshwater bivalves with nearly 1,000
described species widely dispersed across world freshwater ecosystems. They are highly …

In this paper, we present new and interesting data on the distribution of freshwater mollusks
in Oriental Morocco and the watershed of Oued “river” of Moulouya. During our repetitive …
