Massive mortality of the Asian clam Corbicula fluminea in a highly invaded area (2011, methodology): “This could potentially be responsible for important changes in the biogeochemical cycles (Sousa et al. 2008b).”
Patterns of Freshwater Bivalve Global Diversity and the State of Phylogenetic Studies on the Unionoida, Sphaeriidae, and Cyrenidae * (2013, background): “Corbicula is also an invasive nuisance in Palearctic and Neotropical waterways (Beasley et al. 2003, Sousa et al. 2008, Rosa et al. 2011).”
Non-indigenous invasive bivalves as ecosystem engineers (2009, background): “They can occur at remarkably high densities and comprise a major proportion of the benthic faunal biomass (e.g., Corbicula fluminea, Sousa et al. 2008b; Crassostrea gigas, Ruesink et al. 2005; Dreissena polymorpha, Strayer et al. 1999; Limnoperna fortunei, Boltovskoy et al. 2006; Musculista senhou”
Review and new records of non-indigenous freshwater invertebrates in the Ebro River basin (Northeast Spain) (2010, neutral): “…utilization as fish bait, aquarium releases, transport of specimens as a tourist curiosity or the juvenile byssal attachment to boat hulls) (Sousa et al. 2008), but it has extensive capacities for natural dispersion since the pediveliger and juveniles are passively transported by fluvial…”
Growth and extremely high production of the non-indigenous invasive species Corbicula fluminea (Muller, 1774): Possible implications for ecosystem functioning (2008, methodology): “The Asian clam Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) is recognized as one of the most important NIS in aquatic ecosystems (McMahon, 2002; Sousa et al., 2008b).”
Negative effects of Corbicula fluminea over native freshwater mussels (2018, methodology): “The reality is that a limited number of manipulative experiments has established clear links between the presence of C. fluminea and the decline of freshwater bivalves; being most of these studies on sphaeriid clams (Strayer, 1999; Sousa et al., 2008c, d, 2011b).”
Microplastics in Taihu Lake, China. (2016, background): “The Asian clam originates in Asia and can now be found worldwide (Sousa et al., 2008).”
