Modelling and mapping the distribution, diversity and abundance of freshwater mussels (Family Unionidae) in wadeable streams of Illinois, U.S.A.

TL;DR: In this paper, the presence and abundance of 29 species of mussels were modelled using random forest classification and regression, and the models were applied to unsampled wadeable stream reaches to generate mussel distribution maps at the reach scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

First record of a putative novel invasive Corbicula lineage discovered in the Illinois River, Illinois, USA

TL;DR: An apparently novel North American invasive Corbicula lineage recently discovered in the Illinois River, which has an artificial connection to the Great Lakes, is reported on and results showed that the three co-occurring forms were distinguishable using shell phenotype and nuclear 28S ribosomal DNA sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconstructing the natural distribution of individual unionid mussel species and species diversity in wadeable streams of Illinois, USA, with reference to stream bioassessment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used reaches (segments between two neighboring tributaries) as the basic spatial unit of the stream network for modeling species distributions with Maxent and applied these models statewide to all identified wadeable reaches.
Journal Article

Effects of Lowhead Dams on Freshwater Mussels in the Vermilion River Basin, Illinois, with Comments on a Natural Dam Removal

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined literature accounts and museum collections to determine species distributions in the basin and compared those data to locations of the three dams and location of the former Homer Park Dam, which was removed over 50 years ago.
