Hydrological dynamics, wetland morphology and vegetation structure determine riparian arthropod communities in constructed wetlands Open
Wetland hydrological dynamics often dictate the composition of biological communities found in or near wetlands, either directly or through changes in vegetation composition. However, much remains unknown, particularly regarding how ripari…

Arthropod diversity in constructed wetlands is affected strongly by shoreline properties but only weakly by grazing Open
Aim Aquatic‐terrestrial transition zones contain features essential for many species that often benefit wetland biodiversity. Shallow flood‐zone areas and reed beds are indicative of natural wetland habitats; however, how such features aff…

Captive breeding of European freshwater mussels as a conservation tool: A review Open
Freshwater mussels are declining throughout their range. Their important ecological functions along with insufficient levels of natural recruitment have prompted captive breeding for population augmentation and questions about the usefulne…

Effects of mussel and host fish density on reproduction potential of a threatened unionoid mussel: prioritization of conservation locations in management trade-offs Open
Management decisions in conservation of threatened species require trading off social needs against biodiversity values, including the prioritization of conservation locations, i.e. where conservation efforts should take place. To improve …

Conservation ecology of the thick-shelled river mussel Unio crassus : The importance of parasite-host interactions Open
Unionoid mussels are globally threatened and their conservation requires species-specific knowledge on their ecology and parasite-host interaction. Unio crassus is one of Europe’s most threatened unionoid species and has a temporary obliga…
