The alarm over this declining trend, stemming from Unionidae extinctions in North America, also extends to European species Lopes Lima et al., 2017 . In Europe, the situation is exacerbated by the lack of adequate legislation for the protection of most species e.g., Mammola et al. 2020 . 30 Published version https //www.hawaii.edu/cowielab/Tentacle/Tentacle_30.pdf Bad taxonomy and poor detectability has hindered Italian Unio conservation. pdf Riccardi et al.
