- Abstract
The article presents a study that investigates the shell shape differences in mussel Margaritifera margaritifera (M. margaritifera) from a variety of rivers in Ireland. It shows that M. margaritifera has a fairly plastic phenotype, with a gradient of shape change in relation of water potential Hydrogen (pH). It suggests that shell shape may be characteristic to individual rivers, and the need to consider both the genotypic and phenotypic suitability of mussels.
