Cytogenetic characterization of the Zebra Mussel Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas) from Miedwie Lake, Poland.

چکیده
Cytogenetic characterization of D. polymorpha was carried out using banding techniques such as C-banding, fluorochrome CMA3 and silver nitrate treatment. The diploid chromosome number of both investigated D. polymorpha forms (typical and albinotic) was the same 2n = 32 (NF = 56). The karyotype consisted of 5 pairs of metacentric, 7 pairs of submetacentric and four pairs of subtelo-acrocentric chromosomes. Ag-NORs were located in the telomeric position on the largest subtelo-acrocentric chromosome pair. C banding patterns indicate many sites of constitutive heterochromatin mainly located in the telomeric regions and interstitially in some chromosomes. CMA3-sites were observed in almost all chromosomes; apart from the Ag-NORs sites, they were located terminally on the chromosome arms and interstitially on three chromosome pairs. Sixteen chromosomes could be counted at the diakinesis stage of meiosis. No differences in banding chromosome patterns were found neither between both analyzed forms of D. polymorpha nor between males and females.

The first record of the quagga mussel Dreissena rostriformis bugensis (Andrusov, 1897) in Germany is described. This species has expanded its distribution area in Europe at a slower rate than the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas, 1771). Recent records from the Danube in Romania and from an enclosed Rhine-Meuse estuary in The Netherlands, suggest that the MainDanube canal and River Rhin...

The European zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas), has recently been introduced to North American freshwaters. Dreissena exhibits a wide range of population dynamics among different European lakes. In some lakes, long-term population size is fairly constant, while populations in other lakes can fluctuate greatly from year to year. Assessments of the potential ecological and economic effe...

On July 13, 1992 a team of researchers from the BFS visited Kashong Bay in order to provide a characterization of the benthic community prior to expected impacts by the then recent introduction of the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Harman, 1993a). A transect was erected perpendicular to the shoreline from the eulittoral zone (beach) to 25 feet in depth. Inspection by SCUBA was used to coll...
متن کاملDreissena polymorpha in Lake Constance: An example of a keystone engineer?
In the last decades, zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) have invaded many freshwater systems with severe consequences for entire communities. Most benthic macroinvertebrates, especially amphipods and chironomids, increase in abundance in the presence of zebra mussels. Increased structural complexity and an unknown biotic factor lead to this effect. Dreissena-associated factors that might infl...
