The global decline of freshwater mussels is related with a great variety of factors, including
the introduction of invasive species. However, the possible effects of other invasive bivalves …

Temperature has a key impact on the physiology, food acquisition, metabolic rate, growth,
and reproduction of organisms. Thus, exploring the effects of climate change on species …

Invasive species introduction is one of the major ongoing ecological global crises.
Identifying factors responsible for the success of invasive species is key for the …

Non‐native species introductions are a major concern for the conservation of natural
ecosystems. The spread of non‐native species depends not only on their adaptation to the …

Corbicula fluminea arrived in the Miño Estuary in 1989 and, from there, colonized more than
150 km upstream. Our aim was to test the capacity of C. fluminea to cope with osmotic stress …

The natural variation of environmental factors in freshwater basins determines their
biodiversity. Among them, calcium is a key physiological compound for freshwater …

In this study we hypothesize that Ostrom's social-ecological system (SES) framework can be
useful to address the introduction pathways and dispersal vectors of non-native species. We …

Ecological status classification systems based on biological elements (eg,
macroinvertebrate communities) are dependent on their response to different pressures …

Abstract The Asian clam, Corbicula fluminea, is an invasive freshwater bivalve that has
established populations across the globe and is known to have deleterious effects on …

Global change, including invasive species introduction, has already had observable effects
on migrant bird species, from northern breeding areas to wintering grounds. In this study we …
