Ecology of the invasive Asian clam Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) in aquatic ecosystems: an overview

The present paper reviews the information related to the life cycle, ecology and potential ecological and economic impacts caused by C. fluminea in the invaded habitats and proposed future works that may be implemented in order to increase the general knowledge about the ecology of this bivalve.

Non-indigenous invasive bivalves as ecosystem engineers

By reviewing the ecology of several invasive bivalves, a variety of mechanisms via which they modify, maintain and/or create habitats are identified, which should receive more serious consideration in restoration and management initiatives.

Abiotic impacts on spatial and temporal distribution of Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) in the River Minho estuary, Portugal

Improved ecological knowledge is essential for future C. fluminea management, in order to protect local habitats and biodiversity, and to reduce the economic impact of this non-indigenous invasive species.
