Pearly mussels (Unionoidea) live in lakes, rivers, and streams around the world. These bivalves play important roles in freshwater ecosystems and were once culturally and economically valuable as sources of food, pearls, and mother-of-pearl. This book offers a synthesis of the factors that control the distribution and abundance of pearly mussels.
