3 CONTENTS ECOSPHERE VOLUME 9 NUMBER 6 JUNE 2018 COVER PHOTO: Mass mortality of native and alien freshwater bivalves in the river Waal during the summer of Collas et al. (Ecosphere Volume 9, Issue 5, Article e02184; doi: /ecs2.2184) found that mass mortality occurred due to a combined effect of high water temperatures, low oxygen concentrations, water level fluctuations, and flow velocity increases due to passing navigation.
