	note = {Freshwater mussels provide several valuable ecosystem services, including biofiltration, which removes nutrients, sediments, algae, harmful bacteria and heavy metals from the environment. Despite their value, freshwater mussel life cycles are not well understood, and their populations are declining throughout the west. This article concerns the dominant freshwater mussel in Oregon, the western pearl mussel, Margaritifera falcata. {\textquotedblleft}To understand M. falcata population ecology in Oregon{\textquoteright}s coastal watersheds, we analyzed stream survey data on presence/absence of mussels collected over a recent eleven-year period, explored co-varying habitat characteristics, and summarized mussel distribution and host fish co-occurrence. We also collected M. falcata and compared condition indices among eight locations{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract). This is an open-access article. Additional data is included in a supplementary file.},

	note = {Current forestry management practices are not doing very well at keeping herbicides and pesticides within the boundaries of the forest.  In this important article, the authors describe a study of bivalves to look for contamination from pesticides and other chemicals used in forestry.  They found pesticides in 38\% of bivalves sampled, with some watersheds more contaminated than others, and with seasonal variations. The authors mildly note, {\textquotedblleft}Details about types and levels of exposure provide insight into effectiveness of current forest management practices in controlling transport of forest-use pesticides{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract). Good data visualization.  This is an Open-Access article.},
