A total of 43 water and sediment samples, and 34 Corbicula fluminea samples were collected in Xijiang River in southern China to determine the spatial distribution and sources of 12 metals/metalloids (V, Co, Cr, Ni, Cu, Mn, Zn, Cd, Pb, As, Sb, and Tl) and to assess the pollution levels and ecological risks of the pollutants. The results showed that the levels of the metals/metalloids (except for Tl) in the river water from almost all of the sampling sites met the Chinese national surface water quality standards. However, the concentrations of the metals/metalloids in the sediments exceeded the background values by a factor of 1.03–56.56 except for V, Co, and Mn, and the contents of Zn, Cd, and Pb in the Corbicula fluminea soft tissue exceeded the limits of the Chinese Category I food Quality Standards. The spatial distribution analysis showed that the concentrations of the contaminants in the lower reaches of Xijiang River were higher than in the upper reaches. The bioaccumulation factor (BAF), biota-sediment accumulation factor (BSF), geo-accumulation index (Igeo), and the potential ecological risk index (RI) were obtained to assess the pollution levels and ecological risks. The results indicated that Cu, Cd, and Zn were the most prone to bio-accumulation in the Corbicula fluminea soft tissue, and the lower reaches showed a much higher pollution level and risk than the upper reaches. The metals/metalloids in the sediments posed serious threat on the aquatic ecosystem, of which Cd, As, and Sb are the most risky contaminants. The results of principal component analysis (PCA) indicated Cr, Ni, Cu, Mn, Cd, Pb, and As in the sediments came from relevant industrial activities, and V and Co originated from natural sources, and Sb from mining activities, Zn and Tl came from industrial activities and mining activities.

In other studies, authors provide information about water quality by quantifying biomarkers that are proxies for physiological stress, including glutathione S‐transferase, glutathione reductase activity or DNA damage (de Lafontaine et al ., 2000; Binelli et al ., 2006; Contardo‐Jara & Wiegand, 2008; Michel et al ., 2013; Klimova et al ., 2017; Bonnail et al ., 2018; Bonnail, Macías & Osta, 2019 a ). Behavioural and physiological indicators, such as valve movement and heart rate recovery time, have become increasingly popular tools for early detection and real‐time monitoring of water quality (Fig.…”

Identification of ecosystem services, i.e. the contributions that ecosystems make to human well-being, has proven instrumental in galvanising public and political support for safeguarding biodiversity and its benefits to people. Here we synthesise the global evidence on ecosystem services provided and disrupted by freshwater bivalves, a heterogenous group of >1200 species, including some of the most threatened (in Unionida) and invasive (e.g. Dreissena polymorpha) taxa globally. Our systematic literature review resulted in a data set of 904 records from 69 countries relating to 24 classes of provisioning (N = 189), cultural (N = 491) and regulating (N = 224) services following the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES). Prominent ecosystem services included (i) the provisioning of food, materials and medicinal products, (ii) knowledge acquisition (e.g. on water quality, past environments and historical societies), ornamental and other cultural contributions, and (iii) the filtration, sequestration, storage and/or transformation of biological and physico-chemical water properties. About 9% of records provided evidence for the disruption rather than provision of ecosystem services. Synergies and trade-offs of ecosystem services were observed. For instance, water filtration by freshwater bivalves can be beneficial for the cultural service 'biomonitoring', while negatively or positively affecting food

“…This approach requires the organisms' response to external stressors to be directly studied and quantified (Zwart, 1995). The measurements of an organisms' physiological, morphological and biomolecular responses, such as lethal concentration, survivorship (Bonnail, Macías and Osta, 2019), biomass, growth (Hybská et al, 2020), damage to DNA and other genetic markers (Vieira et al, 2019), phytotoxicity, cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, mutagenity (Cavusoglu et al, 2010;Bilal et al, 2016;Artico, Migita and Menezes, 2018;Olusola and Solomon, 2018) and locomotion responses (Salánki et al, 2003) have been utilised in previous research. Experiments may be conducted in bioassays / mesocosms designed on simplifications of the natural environment, to control for the complexities of real-world field conditions.…”
