Non-indigenous invasive bivalves as ecosystem engineers (2009, background): “For example, increases in predatory fish density are usually observed after bivalve invasions (e.g., Karatayev et al. 1997; Magoulick and Lewis 2002; Boltovskoy et al. 2006; Sylvester et al. 2007).”
Alien species in fresh waters: ecological effects, interactions with other stressors, and prospects for the future (2010, background): “Other suspensionfeeding alien bivalves that have had large effects on freshwater ecosystems similar to those described for the zebra mussel include the quagga mussel (Dreissena bugensis Andrusov) from southeastern Europe, now spread widely through western Europe and North America (Mills et al., 1996”
Aquatic invasive species: challenges for the future (2015, background): “Similarly, ballast water has been the source of Asian bivalves (Corbicula fluminea) that invaded South American freshwater ecosystems in the last two decades (Boltovskoy et al., 2006), as well as freeliving microorganisms, including pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and toxic algae (Drake et al.”
Significant ecosystem-wide effects of the swiftly spreading invasive freshwater bivalve Limnoperna fortunei (2009, background): “At Limnoperna’s current expansion rates, invasion of other continents seems only a matter of time (Ricciardi, 1998; Boltovskoy et al., 2006).”
Biological invasions in inland waters: an overview (2007, background): “…fortunei (Dunker)], and the golden apple snail [Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck)] among mollusks (e.g. Darrigran 2002, Carlsson and Lacoursière 2005, Boltovskoy et al. 2006, Oliveira et al. 2006, Yusa et al. 2006); and the spiny waterflea (Bythotrephes longimanus Leydig) and cladocerans among…”
Changes in Global Economies and Trade: the Potential Spread of Exotic Freshwater Bivalves (2007, background): “It can also be found on soft substrata, especially when bottom mud is compacted and covered by a thin hardened crust (Boltovskoy et al. 2006).”
Invaders are not a random selection of species (2009, background): “Both of these aspects of invasion have been considered by researchers for decades (e.g., Elton 1958; Baker 1965; Mack 1996; Williamson 1996, 1999; Morton 1997; Kolar and Lodge 2001; Fargione et al. 2003).”
