• Biological invasions and biocultural diversity: linking ecological and cultural systems (2008, background): “The invasive European green crab (Carcinus maenas) and zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorphia) are displacing marine and freshwater mussels (Lydeard et al. 2004) on native harvesting lands throughout the USA.”
• Invasive species impact: asymmetric interactions between invasive and endemic freshwater snails (2008, background): “In the intermountain west, P. antipodarum is sympatric with many locally endemic spring snails that are threatened or endangered (US Fish and Wildlife Service 1992, Hershler 1998, Lydeard et al. 2004).”
• Global diversity of freshwater mussels (Mollusca, Bivalvia) in freshwater (2007, background): “As pointed out in Lydeard et al. (2004), the basic surveys of invertebrate animals are ‘‘critically important, particularly in poorly inventoried areas, if managers are to determine appropriate locations for conservation efforts.’’”
• Palearctic freshwater mussel (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Unionoida) diversity and the Comparatory Method as a species concept (2007, background): “Freshwater mollusks are globally imperiled, freshwater mussels of the bivalve order Unionoida in particular (Lydeard et al., 2004).”
• Minho River tidal freshwater wetlands: threats to faunal biodiversity (2008, background): “Inland fisheries have lost much of their significance in Europe and North America (Allan et al. 2005).”
• Ecology of the invasive Asian clam Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) in aquatic ecosystems: an overview (2008, background): “…freshwater mussel species were very common in stable substrates but nowadays this ancient bivalve fauna is at risk in the principal European rivers (Reis 2003, Geist & Kuehn 2005), being also of conservational concern in North American freshwater habitats (Lydeard et al. 2004, Strayer et al. 2004).”
• Conservation Status of Freshwater Gastropods of Canada and the United States (2013, background): “The most extreme example may be that land snails endemic to tropical Pacific islands, which numbered in the thousands of species, have experienced even higher declines on a per island basis (Lydeard et al. 2004).”
• Non-indigenous invasive bivalves as ecosystem engineers (2009, background): “This results in decreased energy storage and local extinctions of some unionid species (Lydeard et al. 2004; Strayer et al. 2004a).”
• Global advances in ecology and management of golden apple snails (2006, background): “Although this flatworm is a general predator of snails and has been implicated in the extirpation of native species, there is reason to doubt that it has played a significant role in controlling the target pest (Lydeard et al. 2004).”
• Phylogeny of the gastropod superfamily Cerithioidea using morphology and molecules (2011, background): “, 2004; von Rintelen, Bouchet & Glaubrecht, 2007; Glaubrecht & von Rintelen, 2008) as well as fluviatile systems in North America (Pleuroceridae: Lydeard & Mayden, 1995; Lydeard et al., 2004; Strong et al., 2008), and various freshwater systems in the Mediterranean (Melanopsidae: Glaubrecht, 1993, 1”
• Strategies for the conservation of endangered freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera L.): a synthesis of Conservation Genetics and Ecology (2010, background): “…(Ponder & Lunney, 1999), and the fact that molluscs belong to the second-most diverse animal phylum in terms of numbers of described species (Lydeard et al., 2004), invertebrate and mollusc diversity is strongly under-represented in conservation research (Bouchet et al., 1999; Clark & May,…”
• The ecology and emergence of diseases in fresh waters (2011, background): “Increases in the number of conservation-related articles on molluscs (Lydeard et al., 2004), for example, could dampen detection of long-term changes in disease research.”
