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

The golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) as an emerging concern for biodiversity in the Brazilian Cerrado

Folia Malacologica, 2023
The Cerrado biome is an international biodiversity hotspot, but knowledge about the distribution and impact of invasive bivalve species in the rivers of the Central Brazilian Cerrado is scarce.

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.

A scientometric analysis of experimental approaches to the study of the colonization of Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857)

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences
Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857): investigating colonization patterns. Limnoperna fortunei is a bivalve species native to Asia that was introduced in 1991 to South America in the River Platen basin (Argentina) through ballast water from Asiatic ships.

Impact of morphologically tuned silica nanoparticles on the invasive freshwater bivalve Limnoperna fortunei.

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology
Silica nanoparticles (SiNP) have a high global production volume, but their toxicity is far from being completely understood. In this study, we synthesized SiNP with distinct morphological features: dense SiNP (dSiNP), conventional mesoporous SiNP (MSN),

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,

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 ...

Influence of antifouling paint on freshwater invertebrates (Mytilidae, Chironomidae and Naididae): density, richness and composition

Brazilian Journal of Biology
We conducted a study about invertebrates on artificial substrates with different antifouling paints in order to answer the following questions 1) is there lower accumulation of organic matter on substrates with antifouling paints, 2) is invertebrate ...

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
