Abstract excerpt
Freshwater mussels are among the most endangered animal groups, highly sensitive to climate change due to their strict dependence on freshwater habitats. While freshwater mussels are often considered ecologically strict, their distribution across broad environmental gradients raises the possibility of population-specific adaptations mediated by phenotypic plasticity. This study investigates whether geographically...
