      Collado, Gonzalo A.; Salvador, Rodrigo Brincalepe; Vidal, Marcela; Aravena, Fernanda P.; Delgado, Vannia; Torres-Díaz, Cristian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-10)
      The genus Radiodiscus includes minute terrestrial snails occurring throughout the American continent. We assessed the conservation status of eight poorly known Chilean Radiodiscus species using the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and NatureServe categories and criteria. Under the IUCN guidelines the species were assessed using the Criterion B of geographic range, which ...
    • Effects of the invasive aquatic snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Gray, 1853) on ecosystem properties and services 

      Alonso, A.; Collado, Gonzalo A.; Gerard, C.; Levri, E.P.; Salvador, Rodrigo Brincalepe; Castro-Díez, P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-17)
      Ecosystems provide benefits to humans, including provisioning, regulating, and cultural services. However, invasive species can threaten ecosystem well-functioning and services provided. One invasive species with such potential is the New Zealand mud snail (NZMS) Potamopyrgus antipodarum. The aims of this study are focused on the quantitative review of (1) the NZMS impacts on ecosystem properties ...
    • Socio-environmental impacts of non-native and transplanted aquatic mollusc species in South America. What do we really know? 

      Carranza, Alvar; Agudo-padrón, Ignacio; Collado, Gonzalo A.; Damborenea, Cristina; Fabres, Alejandra a.; Gutiérrez Gregoric, Diego E.; Lodeiros, César; Ludwig, Sandra; Pastorino, Guido; Penchaszadeh, Pablo E.; Salvador, Rodrigo Brincalepe; Spotorno, Paula; Thiengo, Silvana C.; Vidigal, Teofânia; Darrigran, Gustavo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-15)
      The impacts of biological invasions remain poorly known for some habitats, regions and taxa. To date, there has been no comprehensive effort to review and synthesize the impacts of invasive mollusc species in South America. In this paper, we provide a synoptic view on what is known on documented socio-ecological impacts of aquatic no-native mollusc species (NNMS) and transplanted mollusc species ...
