Sydney Morning Herald: They say there is nothing so strong it can come between a mother and child, and even when it comes to mussels that is usually the case. But increasing ocean temperatures and acidification look likely to disadvantage future generations of mussels in Sydney harbour, straining the maternal investment made by adult mussels in their offspring. In a recently completed study by Western Sydney University, researchers looked at the impact of climate change on biodiversity in Sydney harbour, predicting...

2014-10-17 20:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: Lake Erie is increasingly plagued by toxic algae blooms each summer, and a new study suggests how climate change and mussels, of all things, may be to blame. On Thursday, the Columbus Dispatch reported on the new research and computer modeling, which show neither rising water temperatures nor runoff from fertilizers and sewage - the traditional causes cited - fully account for the blooms. According to the paper, published in Water Resources Research, climate change may be providing cyanobacteria...

Global warming threatens freshwater mussels
2013-12-06 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Global warming may push many native freshwater mussel species to the brink of extinction, according to a new U.S. Geological Survey report. In a laboratory setting, the researchers found that warmer water temperatures impair mussel growth. Many aquatic biologists see mussels as bellwether species of for climate change impacts. Freshwater mussels are also good indicators of good water and sediment quality in U.S. rivers. They are also also important in the aquatic food web, filter large amounts...
