Invasive mussels induce community changes by increasing habitat complexity (2012, background): “Keywords Invasive species Community effect Habitat complexity Dreissena polymorpha Limnoperna fortunei Taxonomic structure Trophic structure Byssate bivalve”
Massive mortality of the Asian clam Corbicula fluminea in a highly invaded area (2011, background): “2005) and significant changes in the benthic communities have been reported after these massive die-offs (Sousa et al. 2007).”
Negative effects of Corbicula fluminea over native freshwater mussels (2018, background): “The ecological requirements of both species can sometimes overlap; habitats with muddy and sandy sediments rich in organic matter are easily colonized by unionids as well as C. fluminea (Vaughn & Spooner, 2006; Sousa et al., 2007; Ferreira-Rodrı́guez & Pardo, 2014).”
Growth and extremely high production of the non-indigenous invasive species Corbicula fluminea (Muller, 1774): Possible implications for ecosystem functioning (2008, methodology): “Additionally, and since places located in the estuary are already colonised by this clam ( Sousa et al., 2005, 2007b, 2008a, in press ) potential control sites are only available in the tributaries which have completely different environmental and ecological conditions.”
