Abstract

The article discusses the behavior of North American freshwater mussels, specifically their methods of deception which help their young survive. Topics include the filtering functions of mussels in aquatic ecosystems, the over-harvesting of mussels in the 19th century to be made into buttons for clothing, and the effect of dams on the mussel beds in U.S. streams and rivers.
