Gene discovery through transcriptome sequencing for the invasive mussel Limnoperna fortunei. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS One, 2014
The success of the Asian bivalve Limnoperna fortunei as an invader in South America is related to its high acclimation capability. It can inhabit waters with a wide range of temperatures and salinity and handle long-term periods of air exposure. We describe the transcriptome of L.

Effects of the Invasive Freshwater Mussel Limnoperna fortunei on Sediment Properties and Accumulation Rates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Since its introduction into South America around 1990, the freshwater bivalve Limnoperna fortunei (the golden mussel) has spread rapidly and is now a dominant component of the benthic and periphytic fauna in many rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.

Identifying invasive species threats, pathways, and impacts to improve biosecurity

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Managing invasive species with prevention and early‐detection strategies can avert severe ecological and economic impacts. Horizon scanning, an evidence‐based process combining risk screening and consensus building to identify threats, has become a valuable tool for prioritizing invasive species management and prevention.

Ecosystem Engineering Impact ofLimnoperna fortuneiin South America [PDF]

open access: yesZoological Science, 2011
Limnoperna fortunei, or golden mussel, has invaded aquatic ecosystems in the Americas following it introduction from Southeast Asia. It is not only an aggressive invasive species, it is also a very effective ecosystem engineer, altering both ecosystem structure and function, and causes great ecological and economic impacts.

A new lineage of fresh‐ and brackish‐water mussels (Bivalvia, Mytilidae) from Southeast Asia

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 298-313, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Three species of mussels collected from fresh‐ and low salinity (10 psu or lower) brackish‐water environments in southern Thailand, Singapore, northern Borneo and south Sulawesi formed a new, well‐supported and distinct mytilid clade based on molecular phylogeny.

Colonization of a temperate river by mobile fish following habitat reconnection

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Mobile species are particularly affected by artificial barriers requiring large investments to restore connectivity. However, few large‐scale, long‐term studies have investigated the ecological outcomes of restoring connectivity for these species.

Variation in the distribution of Corbicula species (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Corbiculidae) after 25 years of its introduction in the Río de la Plata, Argentina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In 1981, Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) and C. largillierti (Philippi, 1844) were recorded at the Río de la Plata River. During the 1980?s, C. largillierti was found on a continuous fringe in the shore of that river, while C.

Exotic asphyxiation: interactions between invasive species and hypoxia

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 150-167, February 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Non‐indigenous species (NIS) and hypoxia (<2 mg O2 l−1) can disturb and restructure aquatic communities. Both are heavily influenced by human activities and are intensifying with global change. As these disturbances increase, understanding how they interact to affect native species and systems is essential.
