(Kluwer Academic/plenum Publ, 2003-12)
The golden mussel, Limnoperna fortunei, is an invasive freshwater bivalve. Since its introduction to Argentina, it had caused damage to the native fauna as well as economic damage to industries of the region. Here, we ...
Cellular development of the germinal epithelium during the gametogenic cycle of the golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Bivalvia: Mytilidae)
(Revista De Biologia Tropical, 2016-06-01)
The golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei is an invasive species that has quickly dispersed and colonized several potential different habitats distributed all over the world, causing environmental and economic impacts. Thus, ...

Detachment, displacement and re-attachment activity in a freshwater byssate mussel (Limnoperna fortunei): the effects of light, temperature and substrate orientation
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-09)
The ability of the freshwater bivalve Limnoperna fortunei to voluntarily detach from the substratum, crawl and reattachas a function of illumination, temperature, substratum orientation, and mussel size was investigated. ...

Impact of multiple anthropogenic stressors on freshwater: how do glyphosate and the invasive mussel Limnoperna fortunei affect microbial communities and water quality?
(Springer, 2015-09)
The study of the joint effect of multiple anthropogenic stressors is important because the emerging consequences are often unpredictable on the basis of knowledge of single effects. We explored the joint impact of glyphosate ...
Ecosystem impacts of the invasive bivalve Limnoperna fortunei (golden mussel) in South America
(Springer, 2015-01)
We summarize current knowledge on the effects of the invasive Asian bivalve Limnoperna fortunei (introduced in South America around 1990) on local biota. Limnoperna modifies nutrient concentrations and decreases concentrations ...
Toxicity of Neem’s oil, a potential biocide against the invasive Mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker 1857)
(Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2012-12)
The golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker 1857) is one of the most distributed Nuisance Invasive Species (NIS) in South America, and a threat of great concern for the industry of the area. In this study, we carried out ...
