Abstract: Freshwater mussels of the family Unionidae exhibit a particular form of mitochondria inheritance called double uniparental inheritance (DUI), in which the mitochondria are inherited by both male and female parents. The (M)ale and (F)emale mitogenomes are highly ergent within species. In the present study, we determine and describe the complete M and F mitogenomes of the Endangered freshwater mussel Potomida littoralis (Cuvier, 1798). The complete M and F mitogenomes sequences are 16 451 bp and 15 787 bp in length, respectively. Both F and M have the same gene content: 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (trn) and 2 ribosomal RNA (rrn) genes. Bayesian analyses based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences of 12 PCGs and 2 rrn genes of both genomes, including mitogenome sequences available from related species, were performed. Male and Female lineages are monophyletic within the family, but reveal distinct phylogenetic relationships.

Abstract: We identified 14 emerging and poorly understood threats and opportunities for addressing the global conservation of freshwater mussels over the next decade. A panel of 17 researchers and stakeholders from six continents submitted a total of 56 topics that were ranked and prioritized using a consensus‐building Delphi technique. Our 14 priority topics fell into five broad themes (autecology, population dynamics, global stressors, global ersity, and ecosystem services) and included understanding diets throughout mussel life history identifying the drivers of population declines defining metrics for quantifying mussel health assessing the role of predators, parasites, and disease informed guidance on the risks and opportunities for captive breeding and translocations the loss of mussel–fish co‐evolutionary relationships assessing the effects of increasing surface water changes understanding the effects of sand and aggregate mining understanding the effects of drug pollution and other emerging contaminants such as nanomaterials appreciating the threats and opportunities arising from river restoration conserving understudied hotspots by building local capacity through the principles of decolonization identifying appropriate taxonomic units for conservation improved quantification of the ecosystem services provided by mussels and understanding how many mussels are enough to provide these services. Solutions for addressing the topics ranged from ecological studies to technological advances and socio‐political engagement. Prioritization of our topics can help to drive a proactive approach to the conservation of this declining group which provides a multitude of important ecosystem services.
