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 …

Limnoperna fortunei, or golden mussel, has invaded aquatic ecosystems in the Americas
following it introduction from Southeast Asia. It is not only an aggressive invasive species, it …

Microplastic contamination in the environment is a global problem, as evidenced by the
increasing amount of research worldwide. To our knowledge, this study is the first to …

This study investigated the abundance of microplastics in three commercial bivalves found
at Bandon Bay. Spatial-temporal differences in the concentration of microplastics were …

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

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 …

Rapid environmental change is linked to increases in aquatic disease heightening the need
to develop strategies to manage disease. Filter-feeding species are effective biofilters and …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) has increasingly been used to detect rare species (eg, newly
introduced nonindigenous species) in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, often with …

In this study, the microplastics (MPs) abundance, characteristics and their variations across
three popular beaches of highly populated and largest megacity of India were documented …

The filtration rate of Mytilus edulis as a function of acute change in temperature was
measured by means of the clearance method in a group of mussels seasonally acclimated …
