Strayer’s Freshwater Mussel Ecology: A Multifactor Approach to Distribution and Abundance.

(More info in Alt text!)

Cover of Strayer’s Freshwater Mussel Ecology: A Multifactor Approach to Distribution and Abundance. Green book with freshwater mussels, some closed and some open. The open ones have bright pink nacre and all are partially submerged. It’s interesting because this is a photo of open mussel *shells* which we only see when mussels are dead, and of mussels partially submerged and on their sides, which is also not a natural and healthy position for them to be in. Anyway, I thought I’d put all that here in the Alt text because maybe you’d like to know. And it’s an Easter egg for those who don’t use Alt text but feel like clicking.
