The bioinvader bivalve Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) is known in the Río de la Plata River since about 35 years ago. This time lapse fills a gap taphonomical studies, that comprises usually strictly contemporaneous or at best centuries-old phenomena. We sampled shells of this species one locality two occasions with same methodology. Fragmentation, presence periostracum, corrasion, bioerosio...

Bear Creek is a tributary of the Tennessee River in northwestern Alabama and northeastern Mississippi. The watershed supports diverse freshwater mussel assemblage including several species conservation concern. We conducted survey at 55 sites Mississippi portions its largest tributary, Cedar Creek, during September October 2020. found total 30 species, which 25 were represented by live individu...

Corbicula has often been reported as one of the most invasive freshwater species in world. It plays an important role food chains brackish water zones Korea, where it is predominant. However, detailed information on diet still lacking. The purpose this study was to identify potential prey fluminea Seomjin River using a DNA metabarcoding approach, very little known about its feeding selectivity ...

The invasion of the Asiatic clam Corbicula fluminea in South America has already reached Patagonia. Despite well-known direct and indirect impacts that this species exerts on fresh-water ecosystems, particularly benthic communities, few studies have been undertaken its effect composition structure aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages. This study evaluated effects C. assemblages Limay River, on...

The role of grazing as a controlling factor phytoplankton has an extensive debate in the literature. In this article, five mechanisms that have been explored potential factors influence on South America are discussed and compared with other latitudinal works. temperature impact zooplankton is not conclusive, planktivorous fish appearing main size ranges. Fish effects look despicable, but exotic...
