A spatial modeling approach to predicting the secondary spread of invasive species due to ballast water discharge. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Ballast water in ships is an important contributor to the secondary spread of invasive species in the Laurentian Great Lakes. Here, we use a model previously created to determine the role ballast water management has played in the secondary spread of ...

Golden but not precious: first quali-quantitative data on golden mussels bioinvasion in the Amazon

open access: yesActa Limnologica Brasiliensia
Abstract The invasive bivalve mollusk Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker 1857), commonly known as the “golden mussel”, was recently recorded in the Amazon region, in August 2023 on the Tocantins River (State of Pará). Native to Southeast Asia, L. fortunei has been present in Brazilian waters since the 1990s and, due to its biological and ecological ...
