Prerequisites for flying snails: external transport potential of aquatic snails by waterbirds
The widespread distributions of aquatic species often contrast with their limited ability to disperse by their own propulsion among wetlands isolated by land. Studies of the potential role of water birds as dispersal vectors have been focused mainly on internal transport (endozoochory). However, many anecdotal observations that small species adhere to flying birds also exist (ectozoochory). We ...
متن کاملExperimental Quantification of Long Distance Dispersal Potential of Aquatic Snails in the Gut of Migratory Birds
Many plant seeds and invertebrates can survive passage through the digestive system of birds, which may lead to long distance dispersal (endozoochory) in case of prolonged retention by moving vectors. Endozoochorous dispersal by waterbirds has nowadays been documented for many aquatic plant seeds, algae and dormant life stages of aquatic invertebrates. Anecdotal information indicates that endoz...
متن کاملDispersal of invasive species by drifting
Drifting can be an effective way for aquatic organisms to disperse and colonise new areas. Increasing connectivity between European large rivers facilitates invasion by drifting aquatic macroinvertebrates. The present study shows that high abundances of invasive species drift in the headstream of the river Rhine. Dikerogammarus villosus and Chelicorophium curvispinum represented up to 90% of th...
متن کاملDevelopment of a risk assessment framework to predict invasive species establishment for multiple taxonomic groups and vectors of introduction
A thorough assessment of aquatic nonindigenous species’ risk facilitates successful monitoring and prevention activities. However, speciesand vector-specific information is often limited and difficult to synthesize across a single risk framework. To address this need, we developed an assessment framework capable of estimating the potential for introduction, establishment, and impact by aquatic ...
متن کاملIntroduced land snails in the Fiji Islands : are there risks involved ?
Fiji’s land snail fauna is highly diverse. There are over 230 species of which about 90% are native and 78% are endemic to the archipelago. There are 18 introduced species and four that are of uncertain origin within the Pacific. Information to allow easy identification of these species is lacking, as is related information about the risks involved with the introduced species in respect to trad...
