Tropical freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionida) are one of the most endangered groups of animals globally, but conservation is hindered by a lack of species distribution data. Traditional hand-sampling is time- and cost-intensive and not always poss...

The freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionida) of the biodiversity hotspot Sundaland are experiencing severe anthropogenic threats, whilst their diversity and distribution remain poorly understood. Here, we present the first modern-day data on Unionida... Read More about High endemic freshwater mussel (Bivalvia: Unionida) diversity in western Borneo, with description of three new species.
