Geographic variations in shell growth rates of the mussel Diplodon chilensis from temperate lakes of Chile: Implications for biodiversity conservation

Abstract: The Chilean lake district includes diverse lentic ecosystems along ca. 700 km of the country (361-431S), including the ''Nahuelbutan lakes'', ''Araucanian lakes'' and ''Chiloe lakes''. This area is recognized as an important ''hot spot'' of benthic freshwater biodiversity in Southern South America. In Chilean temperate lakes, increased nutrient loads of P and N caused eutrophication, particularly in the Nahuelbutan Lakes. The freshwater Hyriidae mussel Diplodon chilensis (Gray, 1828) which is one of the most a… Show more

“…Existe evidencia en otras latitudes, que revelan el impacto negativo causado por niveles excesivos de sedimentos sobre poblaciones de bivalvos dulceacuícolas, causando su declinación paulatina (Neves & Widlak 1988, Leff et al 1990. El estado actual de Diplodon chilensis en el Lago Lanalhue es terminal, la disminución de su rango geográfico en sistemas lacustres, es consecuencia de factores que han sido relacionados directamente con los procesos de eutroficación (Valdovinos & Pedreros 2007).…”
