Abstract

The increase in the frequency and intensity of droughts and heatwaves caused by climate change poses a major threat to biodiversity. In aquatic systems, sedentary species such as freshwater mussels are generally considered more vulnerable to changes in habitat conditions than mobile species such as fish. As mussels provide important ecosystem services, understanding the impacts of drought on freshwater mussels is of particular importance for the management of overall functioning of aquatic ecosystems. We used a comprehensive literature search to provide a systematic overview of direct and indirect effects of drought on freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionida) and an evaluation of mitigation strategies. We found that drought studies were concentrated mostly in the USA, with a focus on the Unionidae family. Topics ranged from the physiological effects of high temperatures, emersion, and hypoxia/anoxia to behavioural and reproductive consequences of drought and the implications for biotic interactions and ecosystem services. Studies spanned all levels of biological organization, from individual responses to population‐ and community‐level impacts and ecosystem‐wide effects. We identified several knowledge gaps, including a paucity of trait‐based evaluation of drought consequences, limited understanding of thermal and desiccation tolerance at the species level, and the synergistic effects of multiple drought stressors on mussels. Although we found many studies provided suggestions concerning management of populations, habitat conditions, and anthropogenic water use, a systematic approach and testing of recommended mitigation strategies is largely lacking, creating challenges for managers aiming to conserve freshwater mussel communities and populations in light of climate change.
在全球变化中生存:干旱和脱水对淡水贻贝的影响综述
气候变化导致干旱和热浪的频率和强度增加,对生物多样性构成重大威胁。在水生系统中,淡水贻贝等定居物种通常被认为比鱼类等流动物种更容易受到栖息地条件变化的影响。由于淡水贻贝提供重要的生态系统服务,了解干旱对淡水贻贝的影响对管理水生生态系统的整体功能尤为重要。我们通过全面的文献检索,系统地概述了干旱对淡水贻贝(双壳类:Unionida)的直接和间接影响,并对缓解策略进行了评估。我们发现,干旱研究主要集中在美国,重点是淡水贻贝科(Unionidae)。研究主题包括高温、浸泡、缺氧/缺氧对生理的影响,干旱对行为和生殖的影响,以及对生物相互作用和生态系统服务的影响。研究横跨生物组织的各个层面,从个体反应到种群和群落层面的影响以及整个生态系统的影响。我们发现了一些知识空白,包括缺乏基于性状的干旱后果评估、对物种水平的热耐受性和干燥耐受性了解有限,以及多种干旱胁迫因素对贻贝的协同效应。尽管我们发现许多研究提供了有关种群管理、栖息地条件和人为用水的建议,但大多缺乏系统的方法和对所建议的缓解策略的测试,这给旨在根据气候变化保护淡水贻贝群落和种群的管理者带来了挑战。

期刊介绍: Biological Reviews is a scientific journal that covers a wide range of topics in the biological sciences. It publishes several review articles per issue, which are aimed at both non-specialist biologists and researchers in the field. The articles are scholarly and include extensive bibliographies. Authors are instructed to be aware of the diverse readership and write their articles accordingly. The reviews in Biological Reviews serve as comprehensive introductions to specific fields, presenting the current state of the art and highlighting gaps in knowledge. Each article can be up to 20,000 words long and includes an abstract, a thorough introduction, and a statement of conclusions. The journal focuses on publishing synthetic reviews, which are based on existing literature and address important biological questions. These reviews are interesting to a broad readership and are timely, often related to fast-moving fields or new discoveries. A key aspect of a synthetic review is that it goes beyond simply compiling information and instead analyzes the collected data to create a new theoretical or conceptual framework that can significantly impact the field. Biological Reviews is abstracted and indexed in various databases, including Abstracts on Hygiene & Communicable Diseases, Academic Search, AgBiotech News & Information, AgBiotechNet, AGRICOLA Database, GeoRef, Global Health, SCOPUS, Weed Abstracts, and Reaction Citation Index, among others.
