Ecological flow needs of freshwater mussels
Streamflow characteristics are rapidly changing in response to climate variability, water management practices, and a variety of other human water demands. Alterations in water quantity can have direct impacts on aquatic organisms (e.g., stranding, displacement, disruption of spawning), and can be especially detrimental to organisms with limited mobility. Freshwater mussels are one such group of...
