A global meta‐analysis of ecological functions and regulating ecosystem services of freshwater bivalves

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 10, Page 2982-2997, October 2025.
Abstract Freshwater bivalves are globally distributed, diverse, and common in benthic communities. Many taxa, particularly in the most species‐rich order, Unionida, are declining due to anthropogenic stressors, while a small number of non‐native species have become increasingly abundant and widespread, commonly replacing native bivalve assemblages.

Three invasive species occurring in the diets of fishes in a Neotropical floodplain

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The composition of the diets of 66 species of fishes was investigated from September 2009 to June 2010 in three subsystems of the Upper Paraná River floodplain (Brazil), following invasion by the two mollusk species Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) and

Effects of the cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa on eastern oyster feeding

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is an estuarine consumer of considerable ecological and economic value, with the ability to selectively feed from a mixed phytoplankton community. Estuarine phytoplankton communities are experiencing an increased presence of small, nutritionally poor, salt‐tolerant, and potentially toxic cyanobacteria,

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.

PMAT2: An efficient graphical assembly toolkit for comprehensive organellar genomes

iMeta, Volume 4, Issue 4, August 2025.
We developed PMAT2, an advanced toolkit for lineage‐specific de novo assembly of plant, animal, and fungal mitochondrial genomes, as well as plant chloroplast genome. PMAT2 leverages optimized graph‐based strategies tailored to organelle genome complexity, enabling complete and accurate assemblies, even with approximately 1 × highly accurate PacBio ...

Benthic communities on hard substrates covered by Limnoperna fortunei Dunker (Bivalvia, Mytilidae) at an estuarine beach (Río de la Plata, Argentina)

Journal of Limnology, 2012
The structure and composition of benthic communities on hard substrates covered by the nonindigenous bivalve Limnoperna fortunei Dunker, the golden mussel, were quantified in the middle zone of the Río de la Plata Estuary (Argentina) from April 2001 ...

Achieving conservation through cattle ranching: The case of the Brazilian Pantanal

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Cattle ranching in the Pantanal should be part of the conservation agenda and we show the pathways to it. Abstract Cattle ranching in the ~140,000 km2 Brazilian Pantanal is considered one of the most important cases of sustainable use of natural resources in the global south. The region has had a successful history of balancing environmental protection

Impact of the invasive mussel Limnoperna fortunei on glyphosate concentration in water

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2012
The use of glyphosate has increased dramatically during the past years around the world. Microbial communities are altered when glyphosate reaches water bodies. The freshwater golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei is an invasive species that has rapidly dispersed since it was introduced in Argentina two decades ago. Mussels alter aquatic conditions through
