At the doors of the Amazonian region: occurrence of Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) (Mollusca, Bivalvia, Mytilidae) in the Tocantins River [PDF]

Check List
The Tocantins river basin was one of the few regions in Brazil considered free of Golden Mussel, Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857). This is an invasive species that has been dispersing throughout South America since 1990.

A thousand kilometres far upstream: new record of Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) (Mollusca, Bivalvia, Modiolidae) in the middle São Francisco river sub-basin, Brazil [PDF]

Check List
The Golden Mussel, Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857), an invasive bivalve originating from Asia, has rapidly spread throughout South American river basins since its introduction around 1990. This study investigates the presence of L.

Aquatic Diversity and Fishing Practices at Tell Tayinat (Türkiye) in the Iron Age

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While agrarian societies of the Iron Age Eastern Mediterranean relied predominantly on crops and herding of domestic stock for subsistence, local wild aquatic fauna offered a welcomed enrichment, and when opportunities occurred, it could have been a staple in the human diet.

Acute Exposure to Two Biocides Causes Morphological and Molecular Changes in the Gill Ciliary Epithelium of the Invasive Golden Mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857)

Animals, 2023
Limnoperna fortunei, the golden mussel, is a bivalve mollusk considered an invader in South America. This species is responsible for ecological and economic damages due to its voluminous fouling capability.

Terrestrial Isopods as Biotic Generators of Microplastics Following Chronic Exposure to Weathered Low‐Density Polyethylene

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial detritivores such as isopods and springtails play a vital role in cycling nutrients through soil ecosystems. Microplastics (MPs, < 5 mm) are increasingly recognized as contaminants of terrestrial soils, yet little is known about whether soil invertebrates themselves are impacted by consuming these plastics or if they can generate ...

Suitability of Laurentian Great Lakes for invasive species based on global species distribution models and local habitat

Ecosphere, 2017
Efficient management and prevention of species invasions requires accurate prediction of where species of concern can arrive and persist. Species distribution models provide one way to identify potentially suitable habitat by developing the relationship ...

Air Exposure as a Control Mechanism for the Golden Mussel,Limnoperna fortunei, (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) [PDF]

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2004
ABSTRACT We examined the response of the invasive freshwater bivalve Limnoperna fortunei to air exposure under different conditions of relative humidity, at 25.00 ± 0,4°C. Survival of L. fortunei increased with relative humidity. Specimens exposed to air without humidity control (49 to 63% relative humidity) did not survive more than 120 hours, while ...
