Freshwater mussels are declining rapidly worldwide. Propagation has the potential to
restore numbers of these remarkable organisms, preventing extinction of rare species and …

The effects of multiple infections on the host–parasite relationship between bluegill sunfish
(Lepomis macrochirus) and parasitic glochidial larvae of the freshwater mussel Utterbackia …

Freshwater mussels use an array of strategies to transfer their parasitic larvae (glochidia) to
fish hosts. We examined the effects of temperature, photoperiod, and female gravidity on …
