Ecology of the invasive Asian clam Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) in aquatic ecosystems: an overview (2008, background): “…introductions have consequences to other elements of the ecosystem including submerged vegetation, phytoplankton, zooplankton and higher trophic levels (Table 2) (Phelps 1994, Johnson & McMahon 1998, Strayer 1999, Cherry et al. 2005, Cooper et al. 2005, Sousa et al. 2005, 2007b, 2008, in press).”
Abiotic impacts on spatial and temporal distribution of Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) in the River Minho estuary, Portugal (2008, background): “fluminea (Johnson and McMahon, 1998; Strayer, 1999; Cherry et al., 2005; Cooper et al., 2005).”
Massive mortality of the Asian clam Corbicula fluminea in a highly invaded area (2011, background): “Moreover, another major environmental impact of these events can be related to the release of nutrients, mainly toxic ammonia that could affect the water quality and the overall biota with potential negative effects on benthic species (Cherry et al. 2005; Cooper et al. 2005).”
Negative effects of Corbicula fluminea over native freshwater mussels (2018, background): “…or newly metamorphosed juveniles by C. fluminea; massive mortalities of C. fluminea which result in unionid mortality by ammonia toxicity (Cherry et al., 2005); and bioturbation activities and organic matter enrichment due to the production of feces and pseudofeces by C. fluminea, which…”
Stable isotopic signatures, tissue stoichiometry, and nutrient cycling (C and N) of native and invasive freshwater bivalves (2010, background): “Moreover, C. fluminea die-offs and tissue decomposition can alter water quality for native mussel species, especially during periods of low flow and warm waters during prolonged drought, by further depleting dissolved O2 and producing toxic NH3 (Cherry et al. 2005, Cooper et al. 2005).”
