In recent years, financial losses due to salinity changes threat bivalve industry. In natural
habitat, marine bivalves should be adapted to a series of environmental stressors, including …

Identification of ecosystem services, ie the contributions that ecosystems make to human
well‐being, has proven instrumental in galvanising public and political support for …

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 …

Eutrophication in freshwater has become increasingly severe around the world, resulting in
phytoplankton overgrowth and benthic algae reduction. Bivalves can change the density …

Hypo-salinity exposure is a serious concern for bivalve aquaculture, with profound effects on
the animals' physiological condition. The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of …

The introduction of invasive species has become an increasing environmental problem in
freshwater ecosystems due to the high economic and ecological impacts it has generated …

The environmental and economic impact of invasive bivalve species implies the
development of suitable pest management strategies. Chemical control is the most usual …

The aims of this work were to analyse the feeding selectivity of L. fortunei in a natural
assemblage of phytoplankton in a short-term microcosm experiment and to assess whether …

Laboratory and field experiments indicate that the presence of Limnoperna fortunei
decreases concentrations of particulate organic matter and increases ammonia, nitrate, and …

Mussel biofouling increases energy losses in hydraulic structures. The first contribution of
this paper is the quantification of the mussel‐induced equivalent sand roughness ks as …
