TL;DR: Greater international cooperation using standardized protocols and methods to monitor and manage European freshwater mussel diversity will not only help conserve this vulnerable group but also, through the protection of these important organisms, will offer wider benefits to freshwater ecosystems.
The effects of dreissena polymorpha (pallas) invasion on aquatic communities in eastern europe
Alexander Y. Karatayev,E Lyubov +1 more
TL;DR: Dreissena polymorpha has been invading fresh waterbodies of eastern and western Europe since the beginning of the 19th century and is still invading, and benthic invertebrate communities change dramatically in terms of total biomass, species composition, and relative abundance of functional groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Book ChapterDOI
Impacts of Zebra Mussels on Aquatic Communities and their Role as Ecosystem Engineers
TL;DR: Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) are an extremely aggressive invasive species, often dominating water bodies they invade, and they are also very effective ecosystem engineers, altering the environments they invade as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural enemies of zebra mussels: Predators, parasites, and ecological competitors
Daniel P. Molloy,Alexander Y. Karatayev,Lyubov E. Burlakova,Dina P. Kurandina,Franck Laruelle +4 more
TL;DR: The biology and ecology of organisms known to be involved in their predation, parasitism, and competitive exclusion are discussed and ciliates and trematodes are the most commonly reported obligate parasites.
