Corbicula fluminea is a widespread and problematic invasive bivalve species in many
freshwater ecosystems. Here, a systematic literature review was performed to synthesise …

The impacts of biological invasions remain poorly known for some habitats, regions and
taxa. To date, there has been no comprehensive effort to review and synthesize the impacts …

Expanding populations incur a mutation burden–the so‐called expansion load. Previous
studies of expansion load have focused on codominant mutations. An important …

Baker's Law predicts uniparental reproduction will facilitate colonization success in novel
habitats. While evidence supports this prediction among colonizing plants and animals, few …

Rare earth elements (REE) are emerging contaminants due to their increased use in diverse
applications including cutting-edge and green-technologies. Their environmental concerns …

Twenty years of genetic studies of marine invaders have shown that successful invaders are
often characterized by native and introduced populations displaying similar levels of genetic …

Aim To date, few studies have examined the phylogenetics of Corbicula clams in their native
range and the environmental parameters influencing their distribution, although this could …

The Asian clam, Corbicula fluminea, is an invasive alien species (IAS) originally from Asia
that has spread worldwide causing major ecological and economic impacts in aquatic …

The introduction of freshwater mussels in France was unintentional and relatively recent.
Two species were introduced in the second half of the nineteenth century, and a further eight …

Increases in human activity and climate change are factors that are expected to augment the
number and impact of alien species in the northern regions. In the present paper, we report …
