Abstract Dreissena rostriformis bugensis (quagga mussel, QM) has spread into areas occupied by an earlier invader, polymorpha (zebra ZM) in Europe and North America. Usually QM displaces ZM within a few years or both species coexist, although the mechanisms driving these outcomes have not been uncovered clearly. In Lake Balaton (central‐eastern Europe), displaced oligotrophic (food‐limited) basin, whereas they coexist eutrophic (food‐rich) basin. Searching for drivers of interactions dreissenid assemblages, we compared survival, growth, allometry, shell hardness, biomacromolecule content superoxide dismutase (SOD) expression (indicating nutrition stress) dreissenids collected basins field survey, individuals from food‐rich basin experimentally transplanted (10 weeks) to food‐limited (i.e. same) showed greater height increment per unit length than coexisting conspecifics. had hardest shells all mussel populations. did differ weight, protein, carbohydrate contents, but higher lipid SOD expression.

Abstract As alien invasive species are a key driver of biodiversity loss, understanding patterns rapidly changing global compositions depends upon knowledge population dynamics and trends at large scales. Within this context, the Ponto-Caspian region is among most notable donor regions for aquatic in Europe. Using macroinvertebrate time series collected over 52 years (1968–2020) 265 sites across 11 central western European countries, we examined occurrences, invasion rates, abundances freshwater fauna. We whether: (i) successive invasions follow consistent pattern composition pioneered by same species, (ii) accelerates subsequent rates.

Abstract In this review, we synthesize the current knowledge of biology, ecology, and impact Sinanodonta freshwater mussels (Bivalvia, Unionidae), native to East Asia, that have successfully invaded Europe, Central America, North Africa, several Asian regions. The main introduction pathways were reconstructed based on DNA sequence data distribution records. We show invasive lineages belong three species, namely, S. woodiana s. str. (“temperate invasive” lineage), pacifica (“tropical lauta . Their generalist fish-dispersed larvae, short life span, high fecundity, use by humans for multiple purposes, ability establish populations in anthropogenically disturbed conditions identified as crucial traits driving their invasions. Information consequences is scarcer, but can species through larval parasitism, host fish/food competition, parasite transmission. addition, ecosystem effects filtration—biodeposition—excretion activity occurrence massive die-offs detected.

We show: 1) how Anthropocene successions North America, South Africa, Oceania, Europe, Asia can be correlated using signatures highly invasive species that demonstrate growing interconnectivity human systems; 2) unique depositional settings landfills may concentrate remains organisms far geographical range environmental tolerance; 3) preserve long-lived, record within post-mid-20th deposits.
