Since the beginning of our work in 2017, our strength has been cooperation. Keep reading to learn more about our group and our work.
MOLLUSCS NOT NATIVE IN SOUTH AMERICA
2018 to 2019
This project aims to highlight all species of molluscs invasive from South America, marine, fresh and terrestrial, and was carried out with the collaboration of numerous researchers from different countries who make up the eMIAS.

Socio-ecological effects and impacts of native and transplanted aquatic mollusk species
2022 to 2023
In this project, a synoptic vision of the knowledge on the effects and socio-ecological impacts documented and caused by species of aquatic molluscs in native and transplanted South America is provided. A group of experts that includes malacologists and taxonomists from different countries and which composes the eMIAS, shares and summarizes scientific literature, databases and published and unpublished information on confirmed changes in these species in South America.

MOLLUSCS TRANSPLANTED IN SOUTH AMERICA
2020 to 2021
This project carried out a study of all species transplanted between the countries of South America, summing up the efforts of several researchers from different countries that make up the EMIAS.

Species of molluscs native to South America, non-native on other continents
2023 to 2024
This project is ongoing and a study is being carried out on all species of molluscs native to the countries of South America, and non-native/invasive on other continents of the planet, to which the efforts of several researchers from different countries that make up the eMIAS.
