The present study represents the first histological atlas for freshwater mussels, comprises a baseline for monitoring mussel health in aquatic ecosystems, and could assist future workers studying freshwater mussel physiology, life history, toxicology, pathology, systematics and ecology.
Light and Transmission Electron Microscopy of Two Spermatogenic Pathways and Unimorphic Spermatozoa in Venustaconcha ellipsiformis (Conrad, 1836) (Bivalvia: Unionoida)
- Biology

It is proposed that the necessity of producing spermatozoa with F and M mt genome-bearing mitochondria, to maintain dioecy and 50 : 50 sex ratios in freshwater bivalve populations, accounts for the > 200 million year maintenance of two spermatogenic pathways in the Unionoida.
