Distribution and potential impacts of non-native Chinese pond mussels Sinanodonta woodiana (Lea, 1834) in Bavaria, Germany
Abstract The Chinese pond mussel, Sinanodonta woodiana, is non-native to European

Functional interactions of non-native aquatic fauna with European freshwater bivalves: implications for management
Freshwater bivalves are key faunal elements of aquatic ecosystems. Native species declines
are paralleled by increasing distribution and abundances of non-native species. Appropriate …
