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

Among the asexual reproductive modes, androgenesis is probably one of the most
astonishing and least studied mechanisms. In this 'paternal monopolization', the maternal …

The clam genus Corbicula is an interesting model system to study the evolution of
reproductive modes as it includes both sexual and asexual (androgenetic) lineages. While …

Here, we investigate the shell shape variation of some closely related freshwater species of
the bivalve genus Corbicula using descriptive (qualitative), geometric morphometric and …

The first record of the Asian clam Corbicula fluminea in Bulgaria was from the Danube River
at Vetren in 2001. In 11 years the species has established in the entire Bulgarian stretch of …

In freshwater temperate environments, waterbodies warmed by power plants can serve as a
stepping stone in the spread of tropical and subtropical species. This offers a unique …

The reproductive activity of females of the Chinese pond mussel (Sinanodonta woodiana)
was investigated in a European population inhabiting cooling water. The study used …

In Europe, at least two Corbicula morphs (generally referred as C. fluminea and C.
fluminalis) are known. However, their taxonomic and systematic position is controversial. In …

Clams from the Corbicula species complex of Asian origin are invasive all over the world,
currently extending their distribution to waters of the natural thermal regime in Central …

Bivalves play an important part in freshwater ecosystems and improve water quality; the
thick-shelled river mussel Unio crassus is classified as a bioindicator. Unfortunately, the …
