In this review, we synthesize the current knowledge of the biology, ecology, and impact of
Sinanodonta freshwater mussels (Bivalvia, Unionidae), native to East Asia, that have …

Freshwater bivalves are key faunal elements of aquatic ecosystems. Native species declines
are paralleled by increasing distribution and abundances of non-native species. Appropriate …

Co‐extinctions are increasingly recognized as one of the major processes leading to the
global biodiversity crisis, but there is still limited scientific evidence on the magnitude of …

The ornamental pet trade is often considered a key culprit for conservation problems such as
the introduction of invasive species (including infectious diseases) and overharvesting of …

Tolerance towards environmental stress has been frequently considered as one of the key
determinants of invasion success. However, empirical evidence supporting the assumption …

This book includes all know species of molluscs recorded in the Czech and Slovak
Republics. All species and subspecies occurring in Czech and Slovak Republics are shown …

The effects of invasive alien species (IAS) on host–affiliate relationships are often subtle and
remain unnoticed or insufficiently quantified. The global decline of freshwater unionid …

Abstract The Chinese pond mussel, Sinanodonta woodiana, is non-native to European
freshwater systems. Originating from Asia, it was brought to Europe in the 1970s and is now …

Across many ecosystems in North America and Europe, native freshwater bivalves (Order
Unionida) are threatened by fouling and competition for food by the invasive zebra mussel …

Invasions of non-native species are major threats for freshwater ecosystems. One of the
most invasive freshwater mussels in Europe is the Asian Sinanodonta woodiana (Chinese …
