“…FBs have also been suggested as early warning systems for the presence of (neuro)toxins [e.g. those produced by phytoplankton (Wood et al ., 2006; Lepoutre et al ., 2020 b )], and human pathogens and diseases, such as microsporidia (Lucy et al ., 2008), Escherichia coli (Selegean et al ., 2001), and other bacteria (Graczyk et al ., 2001) and protozoa (Géba et al ., 2020 a ). Other, more scarcely applied indicators used in FB biomonitoring of water quality include simple presence/absence of (indicator) species (Chazanah et al ., 2020), morphological condition indices, including growth rates (Cataldo et al ., 2001 a ; Thitiphuree et al ., 2013), and Na:Cl ratios in shells as indicator of road salt pollution (O'Neil & Gillikin, 2014).…”

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

“…Its wide food size range combined with filtering capacities ranging from 5 to 400 mL/mussel per hour allows D. polymorpha to be exposed to various anthropogenic or natural pollutants through direct gill absorption, ingestion of contaminated food or of particles on which pollutants may be adsorbed [22][23][24]. Interest in the zebra mussel as a bioindicator of environmental pollutants, pathogens or natural toxins such as metals, microplastics, organochlorine contaminants, cyanotoxins and parasites, and as a model organism in ecotoxicology studies, has been widely demonstrated [21,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. D. polymorpha has been suggested as the freshwater counterpart of the marine mussel Mytilus sp.…”

The zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, is extensively used as a sentinel species for biosurveys of environmental contaminants in freshwater ecosystems and for ecotoxicological studies. However, its metabolome remains poorly understood, particularly in light of the potential molecular sexual dimorphism between its different tissues. From an ecotoxicological point of view, inter-sex and inter-organ differences in the metabolome suggest variability in responsiveness, which can influence the analysis and interpretation of data, particularly in the case where males and females would be analyzed indifferently. This study aimed to assess the extent to which the molecular fingerprints of functionally diverse tissues like the digestive glands, gonads, gills, and mantle of D. polymorpha can reveal tissue-specific molecular sexual dimorphism. We employed a non-targeted metabolomic approach using liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry and revealed a significant sexual molecular dimorphism in the gonads, and to a lesser extent in the digestive glands, of D. polymorpha. Our results highlight the critical need to consider inter-sex differences in the metabolome of D. polymorpha to avoid confounding factors, particularly when investigating environmental effects on molecular regulation in the gonads, and to a lesser extent in the digestive glands.
