Distribution of invasive bivalves in Paraguay: filling the gaps in the heart of South America [PDF]
Acta Limnologica BrasiliensiaLa Plata Basin is the second largest hydrographic system in South America but the most impacted by invasive species of molluscs in the continent. Paraguay is a land-surrounded South American country with scarce information about malacological fauna.

Stable oxygen and carbon isotope compositional fields for skeletal and diagenetic components in New Zealand Cenozoic nontropical carbonate sediments and limestones: a synthesis and review [PDF]
, 1996 The stable oxygen isotope composition (d¹⁸O) of a precipitated carbonate depends mainly on the isotope composition, salinity, and temperature of the host fluid, whereas the stable carbon isotope composition (d¹³C) reflects the source of CO2 for ...

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Microplastics are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems globally, with tropical freshwater systems underrepresented in the literature. The ubiquity of microplastics may affect the feeding, growth, reproduction, and survival of organisms in aquatic systems ...

Environmental controls on the stable isotopic composition of Mercenaria mercenaria: Potential application to paleoenvironmental studies [PDF]
, 2003 We have investigated the environmental controls of seasonally resolved records of oxygen and carbon isotopes of modern Mercenaria mercenaria bivalves collected live from five coastal sites along the east coast of North America.

Birth, life and death of the Pannonian Lake [PDF]
, 1990 The Miocene-Pliocene Pannonian Lake formed in an extensional basin system behind the compressional arc of the Carpathians. Its size and depth were comparable to those of the Caspian Sea.

Filtration, assimilation and elimination of microplastics by freshwater bivalves
Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, 2020 The bivalve Anodontites trapesialis, a filter feeder, was assessed as a potential sentinel organism for freshwater microplastic contamination in the South American Pantanal region.

Dispersal of Freshwater Bivalves [PDF]
Nature, 1882 IN the late Mr. Darwin's interesting contribution upon this subject (NATURE, vol. xxv. p. 529), mention is made of the fact that the newts in Mr. Norgate's aquarium “frequently have one foot caught by a small freshwater bivalve (Cyclas cornea?).” It is, perhaps, worth calling your readers' attention to a passage which occurs in Mr.

Potassium and Rubidium Uptake in Freshwater Bivalves [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1990 ABSTRACTPotassium transport characteristics were investigated in three species of freshwater bivalves: a corbiculid, Corbiculafluminea, and two unionids, Carunculina texasensis and Ligumia subrostrata. Using 42K, all three were found to take up potassium from dilute artificial pondwater ([K+] about 0.05 mmol l−1). The influx (Ji) was 0.72 μequivg−1 dry

Physico-chemical variables determining the invasion risk of freshwater habitats by alien mollusks and crustaceans [PDF]
, 2012 The aim of this study was to assess the invasion risk of freshwater habitats and determine the environmental variables that are most favorable for the establishment of alien amphipods, isopods, gastropods, and bivalves.
