Limnoperna Fortunei versus Dreissena Polymorpha: Population Densities and Benthic Community Impacts of Two Invasive Freshwater Bivalves
In this study, for the first time, using similar methods, we compared the population density and distribution across different substrate types of Limnoperna fortunei andDreissena polymorpha, as well as their impacts on the composition of benthic communities. Data on L. fortunei were obtained in Rio Tercero Reservoir, Argentina, whereas studies on D. polymorpha were conducted in North America an...
متن کاملPredicting zebra mussel fouling on native mussels from physicochemical variables
1. Predictive models of impact are needed for the risk assessment of invasive species. One such species is the Eurasian zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha), a fouling bivalve that overgrows and kills native mussels (Unionidae) in many North American lakes and rivers. The level of mortality in a native mussel population increases with the fouling intensity – i.e. the mean number of zebra mussels...

The invasion of zebra mussels (Dreisenna polymorpha) has had a tremendous impact on lake habitats ever since their arrival in 1986 (O’Neill 1994). They live on the hard surfaces in the lake, which includes native mussels (unionids) and rocks. Within this study, we examined surface preferences of zebra mussels by looking at living and dead native mussel shells and rocks. We constructed a plot ar...
متن کاملZebra mussels mediate benthic-pelagic coupling by biodeposition and changes in detrital stoichiometry
1. The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) is one of the most successful invasive species; it has colonised many aquatic systems in Europe and North America with strong impacts on various ecosystem processes. The effect of D. polymorpha filtration on pelagic seston concentrations has been quantified in several studies, but the magnitude and stoichiometry of the transfer of sestonic biomass into...
متن کاملMaking the Best of a Pest: The Potential for Using Invasive Zebra Mussel (Dreissena Polymorpha) Biomass as a Supplement to Commercial Chicken Feed
Invasive non-native species frequently occur in very high densities. When such invaders present an economic or ecological nuisance, this biomass is typically removed and landfill is the most common destination, which is undesirable from both an economic and ecological perspective. The zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, has invaded large parts of Europe and North America, and is routinely remov...
