Structural-based Differences in Ecotoxicity of Benzoquinoline Isomers to the Zebra Mussel (dreissena Polymorpha)
Effects of four benzoquinoline isomers on the filtration rate of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) were analyzed, to study the effect of minor differences in chemical structure on adverse biological effects. Filtration rates were measured after 48 h of exposure to different concentrations of acridine, phenanthridine, benzo[f]quinoline, and benzo[h]quinoline in the water. The 50% effective...
متن کاملLong-term demography of a zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) population
1. We used long-term data and a simulation model to investigate temporal fluctuations in zebra mussel populations, which govern the ecological and economic impacts of this pest species. 2. The size of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) population in the Hudson River estuary fluctuated approximately 11-fold across a 13-year period, following a cycle with a 2–4 year period. 3. This cycling w...
متن کاملEsterases in the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha: activities, inhibition, and binding to organophosphates
Cholinesterase activities of Dreissena polymorpha were measured calorimetrically. In homogenates of whole control mussel, activities of 125 f29 pmol min-’ kg-’ were found (n=6). Neither after exposure of Dreissena to organophosphates (thiometon, disulfoton, demeton-Smethyl) nor after addition of demeton-S-methyl (the activated oxygen analogue of thiometon) in vitro was the measured mussel ester...
متن کاملModels to Predict Potential Occurrence and Density of the Zebra Mussel, Dreissena polymorpha
Limnological features of different lakes may limit the density of, or even completely restrict, populations of the European zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha. We developed statistical models to predict the occurrence (presence or absence) and density (number per square metre) of Dreissena in lakes, based on multivariate correlations between the density of Dreissena populations and the limnolog...
متن کاملThe role of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) in structuring macroinvertebrate communities on hard substrata
We examined the importance of the Eurasian zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) in structuring macroinvertebrate communities on hard substrata in the Great Lakes – St. Lawrence River system. An experiment using artificial substrata (i.e., cement bricks with either a layer of living zebra mussels, a layer of intact empty shells that mimicked living mussels, or with no added layer) showed that mac...
