Thanks Geoff. The first link, a masters thesis, does show a good indirect
mechanism for Corbicula to affect natives in a negative fashion, by being
prone to sudden population crashes that locally pollute the water. I can buy
that. Less dramatic than zebra mussels, but probably effective in localized
areas.
