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.Freshwater ecology series ;v. 1.Freshwater musselsEcologyElectronic books.Freshwater musselsEcology.594/.4176BStrayer David Lowell1955-1034791MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454254003321Freshwater mussel ecology2464319UNINA00878nam0 22002411i 450 UON0013111120231205102756.84920020107d1970 |0itac50 babenIN|||| 1||||Udaya digantaNihar Ranjan GuptaCalcutta[s. n.]1970143 p.23 cmINCalcuttaUONL000111SI VI ECXSUBCONT.
