Freshwater Mussels of Florida is the only comprehensive,
illustrated encyclopedia of all recorded species of mussels in the
state on Florida. An exhaustive guide to all aspects of the
freshwater mussel fauna in Florida, Freshwater Mussels of Florida
covers the ecology, biology, distribution, and conservation of the
many species of bivalve mollusks in the Sunshine State. In the past
three decades, researchers, the public, businesses that depend on
wildlife, and policy makers have given more attention to the
threatened natural diversity of the Southeast, including freshwater
mussels. This compendium meets the increasingly urgent need to
catalog this imperiled group of aquatic organisms in the United
States. Each entry in this definitive guide provides a detailed
description and multiple depictions of the species as well as
select characteristics of its soft anatomy and miscellaneous notes
of interest. Individual distribution maps pinpoint the historical
and present occurrence of each bivalve species and are just one
component of the rich set of 307 mussel and habitat photographs,
seventy-four maps, and thirteen tables that illustrate the book. Of
particular interest are remarkable electron micrographs of
glochidia, the specialized larval life history stage parasitic upon
fishes. Freshwater Mussels of Florida will be of lasting value to
state and federal conservation agencies as well as other government
and nongovernment entities that manage aquatic resources in
Florida. The research provides a key baseline for future study of
Florida mussels. The survey results in this guide, along with
extensive reviews of historical mussel collections in natural
history museums, provide a complete picture of the Florida mussel
fauna, past and present.
