Explanation:
EXPLANATION OF TERMINOLOGY: Unio is a genus of medium-sized freshwater mussels, aquatic bivalve mollusks in the family Unionidae, the river mussels. Unio is the type genus of the family Unionidae. • Common name of Unio tumidus is swollen river mussel; • "Unio tumidus" • https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Unio_tumidus.jpg#/media/File: Unio_tumidus.jpg • Evidence of merit:
This article ranked 1st among all papers in the journal, Doklady Biological Sciences; (Altmetrics) (on 26.01.2015). This paper is on the prestigious, honorable list titled 'Top papers, books on aquatic ecology, ecotoxicology' at the largest global library catalog, WorldCatalog; this paper was rated as 'Excellent' at this catalog.
Novelty: The author introduced a new concept and term, “the synecological summation of the effects of anthropogenic factors on organisms”. New facts discovered and reported in this article: toxicity of synthetic detergents to this species of freshwater mussels.

Novelty:
The paper presents some new ideas and new facts.
**
NEW IDEAS: A new fundamental conceptualization of the role of biota in the functioning of aquatic ecosystems is proposed. According to the new conceptualization that was suggested by the author, the complex of aquatic organisms (aquatic biota) is a central, labile and potentially vulnerable component of the water self-purification system in aquatic ecosystems. This fundamental concept leads to substantial changes in the hierarchy of priorities for protection of biodiversity and environment. According to the concept suggested in this work, the maximum allowable concentrations (MACs) for specific substances should be established after taking into account the possible effects of pollutants on the water self-purification system. Possible effects on many organisms, including filter feeders, should be taken into consideration. Both inhibiting and stimulating effects of sublethal concentrations of pollutants are dangerous, because either of them may cause an imbalance in the complicated system of water self-purification. The fundamental concept suggested in this work heightens the level of priority of the sublethal effects of pollutants. The sublethal effects leading to changes in the functional activity of populations of aquatic organisms may cause an imbalance in the system of water self-purification.
NEW FACTS: new data on toxic effects of organic chemicals (detergents) on functional activity of bivalve mollusks, namely on their filtration activity.
