Functional interactions of non-native aquatic fauna with European freshwater bivalves: implications for management
Freshwater bivalves are key faunal elements of aquatic ecosystems. Native species declines
are paralleled by increasing distribution and abundances of non-native species. Appropriate …

Ensemble forecasting of Corbicula fluminea worldwide distribution: Projections of the impact of climate change
Global biodiversity is at risk owing to climate change, and freshwater ecosystems are
expected to suffer the most. In recent years niche‐based models (NBMs) have been used to …

Aliens are moving to the Arctic frontiers: an integrative approach reveals selective expansion of androgenic hybrid Corbicula lineages towards the North of Russia
Increases in human activity and climate change are factors that are expected to augment the
number and impact of alien species in the northern regions. In the present paper, we report …

Parasites in sympatric populations of native and invasive freshwater bivalves
An increasing threat to local, native freshwater mussels (Unionida)—an ecologically
important but globally alarmingly declining group—is the invasion by exotic bivalves. The …

Zoochorous dispersal of freshwater bivalves: an overlooked vector in biological invasions?
NE Coughlan, AL Stevens, TC Kelly, JTA Dick… - 2017 - kmae-journal.org
Vectors that underpin the natural dispersal of invasive alien species are frequently unknown.
In particular, the passive dispersal (zoochory) of one organism (or propagule) by another …
