Zoochorous dispersal of freshwater bivalves: an overlooked vector in biological invasions?

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2017
Vectors that underpin the natural dispersal of invasive alien species are frequently unknown. In particular, the passive dispersal (zoochory) of one organism (or propagule) by another, usually more mobile animal, remains poorly understood.
