Hydraulic requirements of freshwater mussels (Unionidae) and a conceptual framework for how they respond to high flows
Abstract Spatiotemporal variability in flow determines the physical structures of habitat. During low flows, aquatic organisms can be exposed to reduced dissolved oxygen concentrations, increased water temperature, and desiccation, whereas at high flows, increased velocity and hydraulic forces on th...
