Interspecific differences in the physiological condition of native freshwater m...
Modesto, Vanessa; Ilarri, Martina; Castro, Paulo S.; Carvalho, Francisco; Cavalheri, Thais; Lopes-Lima, Manuel; Teixeira, Amílcar; Ozório, Rodrigo O.A.The Asian clam Corbicula fluminea has been widely introduced into aquatic ecosystems and may impact the physiological condition and survival of native freshwater mussels. However, very few studies have evaluated this issue quantitatively. To fill this gap, manipulative field experiments were performed to assess two possible mechanisms of impact on native mussels: (i) interspecific interactions, and (ii) C. flum...

What we know and do not know about the invasive Asian clam Corbicula fluminea
Modesto, Vanessa; Ilarri, Martina; Labecka, Anna M.; Ferreira-Rodríguez, Noé; Coughlan, Neil E.; Liu, Xiongjun; Sousa, Ronaldo GomesCorbicula fluminea is a widespread and problematic invasive bivalve species in many freshwater ecosystems. Here, a systematic literature review was performed to synthesise what is presently known about C. fluminea in relation to its biology, ecology, and management. Of the total 1156 studies analysed, most were conducted in North America and Europe, with a primary focus on toxicology and ecology. In the native ...
Mussel behaviour as a tool to measure the impact of hydrodynamic stressors
Modesto, Vanessa; Tosato, Luca; Pilbala, Ashkan; Benistati, Nina; Fraccarollo, Luigi; Termini, Donatella; Manca, Dario; Moramarco, TommasoFreshwater mussels (FMs) are useful bioindicators to detect environmental disturbances. However, studies that evaluate FMs suitability for monitoring the hydrodynamic stressors impact are lacking. Since future climatic scenarios predict an increase in frequency and intensity of extreme events, understanding how flood conditions affect freshwater organisms are crucial for their conservation. In this study, we pe...
Microcondylaea bonellii, a testimonial for neglected endangered species
Riccardi, Nicoletta; Bo, Tiziano; Bogan, Arthur E.; Douda, Karel; Froufe, Elsa; Gonçalves, Duarte V.; Lajtner, Jasna; Modesto, VanessaAlthough biodiversity is considered a value to be protected to avoid the degradation of ecosystem functions, conservation practices ignore the role of many species. Species are not protected according to their degree of risk, but according to their degree of attractiveness. The so-called iconic species are used as flag species to convince the public of the need to protect all species to safeguard biodiversity. ...
Trophic niche overlap between native freshwater mussels (Order: Unionida) and t...
Modesto, Vanessa; Dias, Ester; Ilarri, Martina; Lopes-Lima, Manuel; Teixeira, Amílcar; Varandas, Simone; Castro, Paulo S.; Antunes, CarlosFreshwater mussels (Order Unionida) are highly threatened. Interspecific competition for food sources with invasive alien species is considered to be one of the factors responsible for their decline because successful invaders are expected to have wider trophic niches and more flexible feeding strategies than their native counterparts. In this study, carbon (δ13C: 13C/12C) and nitrogen (δ15N: 15N/14N) stable is...

Trophic niche overlap between native bivalves and the invasive Corbicula fluminea
Modesto, Vanessa; Dias, Ester; Lopes-Lima, Manuel; Teixeira, Amílcar; Varandas, Simone; Antunes, Carlos; Guilhermino, Lúcia; Ilarri, MartinaFreshwater native bivalves have declined in recent decades and are considered one of the most threatened faunistic groups worldwide. Many mechanisms can be responsible for this declining trend, being competition for resources with invasive bivalve species one example. When in sympatry with native species, invasive bivalves may be superior competitors regarding food acquisition due to more flexible diets, higher...
