- First record of invasive snail melanoides tuberculatus (müller) (gastropoda: prosobranchia: thiaridae) for the iguazú river basin, Argentina - Brazil Diego E. Gutiérrez Gregoric Alejandra Rumi Noelia S. Ferrando Verónica Núñez Biología impact invasive mollusk Iguazú National Park freshwater environment In this work is reported the first record of Melanoides tuberculatus in the Iguazú River basin (Argentina-Brazil). Thisspecies is native to southern Asia and was anthropogenically introduced to America in the 1960s decade. Sixteenspecimens (one adult and 15 juvenile) of M. tuberculatus were recorded at only one site, the rapids of Iguazú River atIsla San Martín, Iguazú National Park, Argentina, in June 2005. This finding of M. tuberculatus specimens suggests thepresence of a stable population that would represent a threat to the native mollusk fauna, given that this speciespromotes replacement and impoverishment of mollusk diversity. 2007 artículo científico 0037-8607 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=52499004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=524 Comunicaciones de la Sociedad Malacológica del Uruguay application/pdf Sociedad Malacológica del Uruguay Comunicaciones de la Sociedad Malacológica del Uruguay (Uruguay) Num.90 Vol.9
