Through the widespread implementation of next-generation sequencing (NGS), analyses of
the whole genome (the entire DNA content) and the whole transcriptome (the genes being …

Since their introduction to North America in the 1980s, research to develop effective control
tools for invasive mussels (Dreissena polymorpha and D. rostriformis bugensis) has been …

Species identification using DNA sequences, known as DNA barcoding has been widely
used in many applied fields. Current barcoding methods are usually based on a single …

Zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) is considered as one of the 100 most harmful IAS in
the world. Traditional detection methods have limitations, and PCR based environmental …

The introduction of invasive species has become an increasing environmental problem in
freshwater ecosystems due to the high economic and ecological impacts it has generated …

The present study was performed to validate the suitability of using gene expression in
zebra mussels, Dreissena polymorpha, for biomonitoring of freshwater environment …

Nuttall's waterweed (Elodea nuttallii) is the most abundant invasive aquatic plant species in
several European countries. Elodea populations often follow a boom-bust cycle, but the …

Bivalves appear as relevant sentinel species in aquatic ecotoxicology and water quality
assessment. This is particularly true in marine ecosystems. In fact, several biomonitoring …

DNA barcoding promises to be a useful tool to identify pest species assuming adequate
representation of genetic variants in a reference library. Here we examined mitochondrial …

The freshwater bivalve genus Ensidens Frierson, 1911 is widely distributed in Thailand and
the surrounding parts of mainland Southeast Asia. While the identification of the two …
