OBJECTIVE: Documenting mussel biodiversity against the background of European freshwaters.
TASKS:
- Collating existing spatial data into one, harmonised, continuously developing database to prepare a Pan-European map: “Bivalves and Their Habitats”. Identification of gaps, biodiversity hotspots, evolutionary and management units, prioritising species and populations for conservation.
- Distribution and population modelling for both threatened native and invasive species based on collated data, considering large-scale processes (e.g. global warming, urbanisation ‘contagion’)
