Nonindigenous aquatic species in a United States estuary: a case study of the biological invasions of the San Francisco Bay and delta
A. N. Cohen,James T. Carlton +1 more
TL;DR: The San Francisco Bay/Delta Estuary hosts more non-indigenous species than are known for any other estuary, with 212 established species, 15 species too recently arrived to determine whether they have become established, and 125 cryptogenic species as mentioned in this paper.

Non-indigenous invasive bivalves as ecosystem engineers
TL;DR: 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.

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

Changes in Global Economies and Trade: the Potential Spread of Exotic Freshwater Bivalves
Alexander Y. Karatayev,Dianna K. Padilla,Dan Minchin,Demetrio Boltovskoy,Lyubov E. Burlakova +4 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the spread of these exotic species has not been a continuous process, but rather punctuated by periods of rapid long distance spread, during which species greatly expanded their geographic ranges.

Energy metabolism and valve closure behaviour in the Asian clam Corbicula fluminea.
TL;DR: The intermittent metabolism of C. fluminea is discussed as an adaption to efficiently exploit the rare food supply, saving substrates by the pronounced metabolic depression during valve closure.

An empirical evaluation of coefficients used in residual and allometric adjustment of size covariation
TL;DR: Heterogeneity of slopes or allometric coefficients resulted in different estimates of shape for the same individual for pooled common-within and within-groups data, such that considerably different biological interpretations of group interrelationships resulted.
Sur la présence en France et au Portugal de Corbicula (Bivalvia, Corbiculidae) originaire d’Asie
TL;DR: In this paper, a bivalve species of the genus Corbicula has recently been dredged from the estuaries of the Dordogne, France (accompanied by various species of Pisidium), and of the Tagus, Portugal.
