Mussels in decline, or how superorganisms are dying out
Mussels are extraordinary organisms that have dominated aquatic ecosystems for millions of years - from the depths of the oceans to the sources of streams. They are long-lived, with some species living for hundreds of years. Despite this, their numbers have been decreasing drastically in recent decades. New research by Polish scientists - Tadeusz Zając, PhD, and Katarzyna Zając, PhD, professors at the Institute of Nature Conservation of the Polish Academy of Sciences - sheds light on the causes of this phenomenon.
