Invasive freshwater bivalve of the Neotropical Region
(Sea Grant, 2000-12)
Since the 1960´s, three species of freshwater bivalves: Corbicula fluminea (Müller) or "Asiatic clam", C. largillierti (Philippi) (Corbiculidae) and Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker) or "golden mussel" (Mytilidae), from the ...
Targeting clams: Insights into the invasive potential and current and future distribution of Asian clams
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-12-04)
Bivalves are among the main groups of invasive freshwater species, with the Asian clam genus Corbicula in particular being widely distributed. While global studies have focused on Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774), the ...
Vulnerability of microcrustaceans to predation by the invasive filter-feeding mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker)
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-11)
Limnoperna fortunei is an Asian mussel introduced to South America around 1990. One of the most important impacts of this invader is probably its grazing on the plankton. In this study we evaluate the vulnerability of ...
Veligers of the invasive bivalve Limnoperna fortunei in the diet of indigenous fish larvae in a eutrophic subtropical reservoir
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-11)
Larval fish development depends largely on their ability to capture and ingest food items, and on food availability. In this context, invasive species, eutrophication and river impoundments have complex impacts on fish ...
Fitness-related traits are maximized in recently introduced, slow-growing populations of an invasive clam
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2022-03)
Many species are shifting their ranges being forced to rapidly respond to novel stressful environmental conditions. Colonizing individuals experience strong selective forces that favor the expression of life history traits ...
The role of temperature and oxygen availability on the distribution of Corbicula largillierti
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-12-17)
The invasiveness of Corbicula largillierti has been underestimated, but this bivalve is currently receiving more attention. The first study of the distribution of this species along one of the major basins of central ...
Biometric conversion factors as a unifying platform for comparative assessment of invasive freshwater bivalves
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-09)
Invasive bivalves continue to spread and negatively impact freshwater ecosystems worldwide. As different metrics for body size and biomass are frequently used within the literature to standardise bivalve-related ecological ...
