Research Interests

Focus is on developing a phylogeny of the freshwater bivalves of the world. This work is done in collaboration with Dr. Walter R. Hoeh of Kent State University, Kent, OH. Other research interests lie in developing a handbook on freshwater gastropods of North Carolina. Grants from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service allow for continuing work on systematics of freshwater bivalves in North Carolina.  A collaboration has been formed with Dr. Ellen Strong (Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC), Dr. Paul Johnson (Alabama Aquatic Biodiversity Center, Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Marion, Alabama), and Jeff Garner (State Malacologist, Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Florence, Alabama) to produce a photographic catalog of the nearly 1,000 named taxa in the North American freshwater gastropod family Pleuroceridae.

Online Resources

This is an introductory resource for learning to identify the state's freshwater bivalves or clams. It was developed for N.C. Department of Transportation biologists participating in a February 2002 workshop, and subsequently revised based on their comments. You need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open these files.

It features:

  • Figures illustrating landmarks on the shells of freshwater bivalves that are important for their identification.
  • Use of only shell characteristics so that dead shells or isolated valves may be identified. Knowledge of mussel anatomy not required.
  • Color images of 58 species of freshwater bivalves that occur in North Carolina. Fifty-six of these belong to the native family Unionidae. The introduced Asian clam and the fingernail clams (Sphaeriidae) are included in the key only to family level.
  • An introduction to the literature on freshwater bivalves of North Carolina and a list of Web sites about freshwater mollusks of North America.

A searchable database of literature on freshwater mussels and, to a lesser extent, other freshwater mollusks. With around 14,000 references, the database covers freshwater mussels worldwide and includes paleontological literature, “gray” literature, theses, and dissertations. Maintained by Kevin Cummings (Illinois Natural History Survey), Dr. Arthur Bogan (North Carolina Museum of Natural History), Dr. G. Thomas Watters (Ohio State University, Museum), and C. A. Mayer (Illinois Natural History Survey), the database is a work in progress. Users are encouraged to notify the authors of errors and omissions. Supported by a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
