Slow, but steady: dispersal of freshwater molluscs (2011, background): “Passive dispersal of planktonic larvae is regarded as the primary longitudinal dispersal mechanism of Dreissenidae, such as Dreissena, Congeria and Mytilopsis (Carlton 1993; Pathy and Mackie 1993; Gelembiuk et al. 2006), and Mytilidae such as Limnoperna (Karatayev et al. 2007).”
Significant ecosystem-wide effects of the swiftly spreading invasive freshwater bivalve Limnoperna fortunei (2009, background): “Parallels with the Zebra Mussel point at several important differences, including Limnoperna’s higher resistance to anoxia, pollution, pH, and high temperatures, longer reproduction periods and lower calcium requirements (Karatayev et al., 2007), suggesting that, should Limnoperna reach North Americ”
Invasive mussels induce community changes by increasing habitat complexity (2012, background): “This knowledge is important, considering that L. fortunei may colonize many more waterbodies in central and southern regions of North America than zebra mussels (Ricciardi, 1998; Karatayev et al., 2007a, b; Oliveira et al., 2010).”
