Fauna Europaea provides a public web-service with an index of scientific names (including important synonyms) of all living European land and freshwater animals, their geographical distribution at country level (up to the Urals, excluding the Caucasus region), and some additional information. The Fauna Europaea project covers about 230,000 taxonomic names, including 130,000 accepted species and 14,000 accepted subspecies, which is much more than the originally projected number of 100,000 species. This represents a huge effort by more than 400 contributing specialists throughout Europe and is a unique (standard) reference suitable for many users in science, government, industry, nature conservation and education. For the Mollusca-Bivalvia, data from 5 families (Margaritiferidae, Unionidae, Sphaeriidae, Cyrenidae, Dreissenidae) containing 55 species are included in this paper. European freshwater bivalves belong to the Orders Unionoida and Cardiida. All the European unionoids are included in the superfamily Unionoidea, the freshwater mussels or naiads. The European cardiids belong to the following three superfamilies: Cardioidea, Cyrenoidea and Dreissenoidea. Among the Unionoidea there are the most imperilled animal groups on the planet while the Cardioidea includes the cosmopolitan genus Pisidium, the Cyrenoidea the Asiatic clam (Corbiculafluminea) and the Dreissenoidea the famous invasive zebra mussel (Dreissenapolymorpha). Basic information is summarized on their taxonomy and biology. Tabulations include a complete list of the current estimated families, genera and species.
《欧洲动物志》提供了一项公共网络服务，涵盖所有欧洲陆地和淡水动物的科学名称索引（包括重要同义词）、它们在国家层面的地理分布（直至乌拉尔山脉，不包括高加索地区）以及一些其他信息。《欧洲动物志》项目涵盖约23万个分类学名称，包括13万个已接受物种和1.4万个已接受亚种，这远远超过最初预计的10万个物种数量。这是欧洲400多名专家共同努力的巨大成果，是一份适用于科学、政府、工业、自然保护和教育等众多领域用户的独特（标准）参考资料。本文纳入了来自5个科（珍珠蚌科、蚌科、球蚬科、蚬科、 Dreissenidae科）共55个物种的软体动物双壳纲数据。欧洲淡水双壳类动物属于蚌目和心蛤目。所有欧洲蚌目动物都包含在蚌超科中，即淡水贻贝或珍珠蚌。欧洲心蛤目动物属于以下三个超科：心蛤超科、蚬超科和 Dreissenidae超科。在蚌超科中，有地球上最濒危的动物类群，而心蛤超科包括世界性的 Pisidium属，蚬超科包括亚洲蚬（Corbicula fluminea），Dreissenidae超科包括著名的入侵物种斑马贻贝（Dreissena polymorpha）。文中总结了它们的分类学和生物学基本信息。表格列出了当前估计的科、属和物种的完整清单。
