Parturition in fingernail clams (Sphaerium spp.) can be induced by external application of serotonin and serotonergic ligands. Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) increase neurotransmission at serotonergic synapses by blocking re-uptake transporters. We tested the efficacy of SSRIs (flu
