Conclusions. 330 $aThe monograph focuses on the European freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera, which is an endangered bivalve species. Most of its populations in the Russian section of the Baltic Sea basin had never been studied, although they were known in the past to the pearl fishers. ?Rediscovery? included search for the previously unknown populations, revealing the facts of population extinctions, analysis of negative impacts, elaboration of conservation measures, and revealing of regularities in distribution. Patterns of land use and river management were analyzed. The procedure of ?rediscovery? was applied for other animal species of Northwest Russia, which are threatened on a global scale ? thick-shelled mussel, Unio crassus; curlew Numenius arquata; black-tailed godwit, Limosa limosa; Northern Lapwing, Vanellus vanellus; European mink, Mustela lutreola; pond bat, Myotis dasycneme; Atlantic sturgeon, Acipenser sturio; and broad-clawed crayfish, Astacus astacus. The methods and principles of conservation studies were discussed. The obtained data were analyzed with respect to current global change of biosphere. The book will appeal to specialists dealing with conservation studies and activities such as red lists, river protection, and conservation of endangered species. Moreover, a part of the book represents an interest for biogerontology as it presents discredit of the popular concept on ?negligible senescence.? The data on distribution of some animals in Russia will be interesting in terms of zoology and biogeography, as they are not yet sufficiently represented in the international editions. The book can be used as supplemental reading for courses in biological invasions, ecology and conservation, and biodiversity. The work also contains chapters on global processes (deforestation, desertification, river degradation) and can therefore also be used for general courses in environmental sciences. 606 $aMargaritifera margaritifera 606 $aBivalves$2thub 606 $aConservació de la diversitat biològica$2thub 607 $aBàltica (Mar)$2thub 607 $aRússia (Federació)$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aMargaritifera margaritifera. 615 7$aBivalves 615 7$aConservació de la diversitat biològica 676 $a594.4 700 $aPopov$b Igor?$0851982 702 $aLent?sman$b Natalii?a 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483209603321 996 $aIn the search of the lost pearl$91902333 997 $aUNINA
