Humans have effectively transported thousands of species around the globe and, with
accelerated trade; the rate of introductions has increased over time. Aquatic ecosystems …

Several non-indigenous bivalve species have been colonising aquatic ecosystems
worldwide, in some cases with great ecological and economic impacts. In this paper, we …

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

Biological invasions are numerous in fresh waters around the world. At least hundreds of
freshwater species have been moved outside of their native ranges by vectors such as …

Invasive bivalves may cause great ecological, evolutionary, and economic impacts in
freshwater ecosystems. Species such as Corbicula fluminea, Dreissena bugensis …

The globalization of economies and trade have facilitated the spread of exotic species
including the five most important freshwater suspension feeding invaders Dreissena …

We assembled information on 119 species of freshwater macroinvertebrate invaders in
North America and Europe, and compared them to all native freshwater species in North …

We summarize current knowledge on the effects of the invasive Asian bivalve Limnoperna
fortunei (introduced in South America around 1990) on local biota. Limnoperna modifies …

Aim To assess spatio‐temporal and taxonomic patterns of available information on the costs
of invasive freshwater bivalves, as well as to identify knowledge gaps. Location Global. Time …

We contrast ecological and life history traits of the well studied freshwater invader, the zebra
mussel (Dreissena polymorpha), with the lesser known invasive golden mussel …
