In summary, this endangered mussel does have a small range in the Amite River but has densities within that range similar to most other unionids and a similar dispersion pattern. Inflated Heelsplitters have, as predicted (Haag, 2012), an opportunistic life history strategy with more rapid growth, earlier maturity, and shorter life cycles than most of the other unionids, which Haag (2012) considered an adaptive set of traits for dealing with frequent disturbances and rebounding from small population sizes.
