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 ...
The role of anthropogenic habitats in freshwater mussel conservation
Sousa, Ronaldo; Halabowski, Dariusz; Labecka, Anna M.; Douda, Karel; Aksenova, Olga V.; Bespalaya, Yulia V.; Bolotov, Ivan N.; Geist, JuergenAnthropogenic freshwater habitats may provide undervalued prospects for long-term conservation as part of species conservation planning. This fundamental, but overlooked, issue requires attention considering the pace that humans have been altering natural freshwater ecosystems and the accelerated levels of biodiversity decline in recent decades. We compiled 709 records of freshwater mussels (Bivalvia, Unionida)...
