The Freshwater Mussels of Mississippi

Daniel J. Bereza in the mid-1970s. This collecting trip took us to the rivers of Tennessee in 1975.

Daniel and Connie on an Arkansas collecting trip in 1977.

Robby Maxwell (LDWF) alerted me of a new book on freshwater mussels of Mississippi. This book (Jones et al. 2019) and a paper by Pieri et al. (2018) on Fusconaia in Texas cause additional changes to our Louisiana list. Both works are very pertinent and have caused me to make some major changes in the book that I am doing for the state.

Here is my current list:

I also wanted to add my 1996 book on collections of mussels and mites:
