The effect of temperature on cercariae production of two Rhipidocotyle trematodes parasitizing freshwater mussel, Anodonta anatina.
Alabi, Waidi (2013)Two bucephalid trematodes, Rhipidocotyle campanula and R. fennica are known to infect the duck mussel, Anodonta anatina. The infection will lead to decrease growth, reproduction and survival of A. anatina. Given the important ... -
Connection between temperature, larval production, virulence and geographical distribution of Rhipidocotyle parasites infecting the duck mussel, Anodonta anatina
Choo, Jocelyn M. (University of Jyväskylä, 2015)In this thesis, two bucephalid trematode parasites Rhipidocotyle campanula and R. fennica, which use the same first (Anodonta anatina) and second intermediate (Rutilus rutilus) host were studied. The aim was to investigate ... -
The role of salmonid fishes in conservation of the endangered freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera)
Salonen, Jouni (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)The abundance of freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) has declined widely during the past century, and new conservation initiatives are needed. This thesis focused on the relationship between M. ... -
Parasites in sympatric populations of native and invasive freshwater bivalves
Taskinen, Jouni; Urbańska, Maria; Ercoli, Fabio; Andrzejewski, Wojciech; Ożgo, Małgorzata; Deng, Binglin; Choo, Jocelyn M.; Riccardi, Nicoletta (Springer, 2021)An increasing threat to local, native freshwater mussels (Unionida)—an ecologically important but globally alarmingly declining group—is the invasion by exotic bivalves. The Enemy Release Hypothesis predicts that introduced ... -
