Effects of Severe Drought on Freshwater Mussel Assemblages (2008, background): “C. fluminea is more tolerant than union ids of a wider range of stream perturbations, with the exception that C. fluminea is more sensitive to the low dissolved oxygen levels typically associated with drought than are many unionid species (McMahon 2001; Golladay et al. 2004).”
Behaviour and physiology are linked in the responses of freshwater mussels to drought (2012, background): “mortality is often high and survivors become concentrated in warming pools with falling levels of dissolved oxygen (Golladay et al., 2004; Galbraith et al., 2010).”
Upper thermal tolerances of early life stages of freshwater mussels (2010, background): “Mussel population declines are most strongly associated with atypical conditions that extend beyond their normal tolerances (Golladay et al. 2004), and acute upper thermal limits might provide an indication of the extreme temperatures that mussels can tolerate in such circumstances.”
