| Summary: | Corbicula fluminea
(Müller, 1774) is an Asian freshwater clam that is widely distributed throughout the world through multiple introductions. Its invasion can cause environmental and economic damage. In Brazil,
C. fluminea
is recorded in all major hydrographic basins. Here, we report the first record of
C. fluminea
in the Chapada dos Veadeiros region of Goiás, Brazil. This new record extends the known distribution of this species to a conserved area in the Cerrado biome, towards areas of interest for conservation and integral protection units of the biodiversity. |
