Impacts of the Eurasian round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) on benthic communities in the upper St. Lawrence River
An invasive benthivorous fish, the Eurasian round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is abundant throughout the lower Great Lakes – St. Lawrence River system. We examined the round goby’s potential to alter benthic communities on cobble substrates in the upper St. Lawrence River. During the summers of 2008 and 2009, macroinvertebrates and benthic algae were sampled across sites with varying goby den...
متن کاملIsotope evidence for preferential dispersal of fast-spreading invasive gobies along man-made river bank structures.
Invasive round goby Neogobius melanostomus and bighead goby Ponticola kessleri have successfully colonized freshwater and coastal habitats worldwide. The objective was to use stable isotope analyses to study the foraging and movement of both species at small spatial scales in the Upper Danube River, considering 861 samples from two different years, seasons and sides of the river in an area wher...
متن کاملSignatures of contamination in invasive round gobies (Neogobius melanostomus): a double strike for ecosystem health?
The invasive round goby has a recognised role in transferring contaminants through foodwebs, but little work has been done on contaminant impacts on round gobies themselves. Here we present the first case study of contaminant biomarkers and subpopulation structure variation in round gobies, in relation to habitat contamination, within a Canadian Area of Concern, Hamilton Harbour. Copper and cad...
متن کاملInvasion strategies in round goby (Neogobius melanostomus): Is bigger really better?
Few studies have systematically investigated mid- or long-term temporal changes of biological characteristics in invasive alien species considering the different phases of an invasion. We studied the invasion performance of one of the most invasive species worldwide, the round goby Neogobius melanostomus, from total absence over first occurrence until establishment from 2010 to 2015 in the uppe...
متن کاملWhat's in a name? Taxonomy and nomenclature of invasive gobies in the Great Lakes and beyond
Index words: Gobiidae Invasive species Neogobius Proterorhinus Round Goby Tubenose Goby The species identities, scientific names, and relationships of Eurasian gobies that invaded the Laurentian Great Lakes – and other species that are predicted to invade in the future – are evaluated here using recently resolved DNA characters. The Round Goby and the Freshwater Tubenose Goby entered the Great ...
