Despite the invasive potential of this species, it suffers certain restrictions in lentic environments due to natural phenomena that significantly affect its population structure (e.g. water column fluctuation and sunlight exposure). The present study addresses how temporal decline of the water level in a Neotropical reservoir and exposure to sunlight affect the population structure of C. fluminea. Samplings were carried out twice in the reservoir of Furnas Hydroelectric Power Station (HPS) (Minas Gerais, Brazil), in 2011 and 2012. Population density, spatial distribution and mean shell length of C. fluminea were estimated for each year after sampling in 51 quadrats (0.0625m2) placed on three transects at different distances along the reservoir margins (0, 10 and 20 m from a fixed-point). We observed a predominance of C. fluminea in both years, with a simultaneous gradual decrease in density and richness of native species in the sampling area. Significant differences in density of C. fluminea were registered at different distances from the margin, and are related to the temporal variability of physical conditions of the sediment and water in these environments. We also registered a trend toward an increase in the density and aggregation of C. fluminea as we moved away from the margin, due to the greater stability of these areas (&gt;10 m). The mean shell length of C. fluminea showed significant difference between the distinct distances from the margin and during the years, as well as the interaction of these factors (Distances vs.Years). These results were associated with the reproductive and invasive capacity of this species. This study reveals that these temporal events (especially water column fluctuation) may cause alterations in density, spatial distribution and mean shell length of C. fluminea and the composition of the native malacofauna in Neotropical lentic environments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1519-6984.09113","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,29]],"date-time":"2015-04-29T23:48:24Z","timestamp":1430351304000},"page":"135-143","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["How the fluctuations of water levels affect populations of invasive bivalve Corbicula fluminea (M\u00fcller, 1774) in a Neotropical reservoir?"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"LRP.","family":"Paschoal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade do Estado de Minas Gerais,  Brazil; Universidade Estadual Paulista,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"DP.","family":"Andrade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade do Estado de Minas Gerais,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Darrigran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Museo de La Plata,  Argentina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Sistema Nacional de Informa\u00e7\u00f5es sobre Recursos H\u00eddricos","year":"2013"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref2","first-page":"93","article-title":"Distribuci\u00f3n y abundancia de\u00a0<em>Melanoides tuberculata<\/em> (Gastropoda: Thiaridae) en la Reserva de la Biosfera Pantanos de Centla, Tabasco, M\u00e9xico","volume":"25","author":"Albarran-Melze N","year":"2009","journal-title":"Acta Zool\u00f3gica Mexicana"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Livro vermelho da fauna brasileira amea\u00e7ada de extin\u00e7\u00e3o","first-page":"157","volume-title":"A situa\u00e7\u00e3o de amea\u00e7a dos invertebrados aqu\u00e1ticos no Brasil","author":"Amaral ACZ","year":"2008"},{"key":"ref4","author":"Andrade DP","year":"2013"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"326","DOI":"10.1590\/S2179-975X2013005000002","article-title":"Water quality assessment of fifth-order tributaries of the reservoir at the Marechal Mascarenhas de Morais Hydroelectric Power Station in the Rio Grande watershed (State of Minas Gerais, Brazil)","volume":"24","author":"Andrade DP","year":"2012","journal-title":"Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia"},{"key":"ref6","first-page":"39","article-title":"The Asiatic clam <em>Corbicula fluminea<\/em> (M\u00fcller, 1774) (Bivalvia: Corbiculidae) in Europe","volume":"10","author":"Araujo R","year":"1993","journal-title":"American Malacological Bulletin"},{"issue":"4","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"915","DOI":"10.1590\/S1679-62252011000400024","article-title":"Growing, losing or introducing?
