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. Ecosystem services disservices not yet been quantified, even at local scales, management methods range are understudied. A better understanding impacts, options urgently needed make informed decisions set realistic impactful restoration goals.

Genetic comparisons of the invasive pond mussel Sinanodonta woodiana from wild and pet shop populations in Germany

Hydrobiologia, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 851(9), С. 2125 - 2137

Опубликована: Янв. 9, 2024

Abstract Successful aquatic biological invasions are often dependent on human vectors. The Chinese pond mussel Sinanodonta woodiana is a fast-growing, high-filtering, and highly fecund unionid bivalve that has expanded rapidly throughout Europe in the last several decades. Human-mediated vectors such as fish aquaculture pet shop trade believed to be primary drivers of mussel’s spread, but specific dispersal pathways S. remain unclear. We analyzed eleven microsatellites 245 individuals from seven wild populations three shops assess genetic relatedness potential sources, Bavaria, Germany. Wild shared single mitochondrial haplotype present all European shop-sourced were genetically similar populations. Only one population was structurally different than other populations, which may explained by its trajectory. Our results provide first informed insights into context activity. underscore value tools invasive species management, can uncover patterns even local scales.

Recent and future distribution of the alien Chinese pond mussel Sinanodonta woodiana (Lea, 1834) on the European continent

The alien freshwater mussel Sinanodonta woodiana (Lea, 1834) has rapidly spread throughout Europe over the past decades. This species can cope with a broad range of environmental conditions and high reproductive capacity making S. successful invader. Due to its negative effects on native mollusk communities parasitized fish it is critical identify suitable habitats where may persist how these be altered under future climate projections. We applied multivariate ordination methods analyze space-time relationship maximum entropy approach (MaxEnt) predict recent (1970–2000) (2041–2060 2081–2100) distribution using variables for European continent. After first sightings in 1979 there were only few new locations findings which increased unevenly exponentially about 100 per year followed by decline during last years.

Physiological effects of interacting native and invasive bivalves under thermal stress

Biological Invasions, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 26(7), С. 2281 - 2293

Abstract Across many ecosystems in North America and Europe, native freshwater bivalves (Order Unionida) are threatened by fouling competition for food the invasive zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha . In light of climate change, knowledge on influence water temperature these competitive effects is important, yet poorly understood. This study examines physiological impact interaction between D. European unionid Anodonta cygnea over a 28 day—period response to temperatures 12, 19, 25 °C comparing their glycogen, glucose, lipid protein concentrations. The laboratory experiment comprised three treatments: (1) A. , (2) both species present but not fouling; (3) control which were placed separately. Increased caused stress as evident from reduced benefited unionids, individuals that fouled tended have increased Competitive bivalve species, however, intensified elevated temperatures. Glochidia release, lower infestation intensity, at higher likely confounding factors. results this suggest understanding consequences interactions changing can be an important tool assess future change impacts aquatic community structures.

Surviving global change: a review of the impacts of drought and dewatering on freshwater mussels

Biological reviews/Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Сен. 11, 2024

ABSTRACT The increase in the frequency and intensity of droughts heatwaves caused by climate change poses a major threat to biodiversity. In aquatic systems, sedentary species such as freshwater mussels are generally considered more vulnerable changes habitat conditions than mobile fish. As provide important ecosystem services, understanding impacts drought on is particular importance for management overall functioning ecosystems. We used comprehensive literature search systematic overview direct indirect effects (Bivalvia: Unionida) an evaluation mitigation strategies. found that studies were concentrated mostly USA, with focus Unionidae family. Topics ranged from physiological high temperatures, emersion, hypoxia/anoxia behavioural reproductive consequences implications biotic interactions services. Studies spanned all levels biological organization, individual responses population‐ community‐level ecosystem‐wide effects. identified several knowledge gaps, including paucity trait‐based consequences, limited thermal desiccation tolerance at level, synergistic multiple stressors mussels. Although we many provided suggestions concerning populations, conditions, anthropogenic water use, approach testing recommended strategies largely lacking, creating challenges managers aiming conserve mussel communities populations light change.

Abstract Following the unintentional introduction of freshwater mussel Sinanodonta pacifica into Indonesia, it dispersed rapidly. The life cycle and reproductive characteristics this species throughout Indonesia are poorly known. This information is required to manage mitigate against any negative effects that might have on native ecosystems. We firstly report biology S. by combined temporal monitoring, histological investigation, light scanning electron microscopy, relate densities, their embryological stages, environmental variables at five sites in West Java from 67 1,580 m above sea level. protandrous can spawn eggs brood larvae year, with spawning peaks early rainy season September December. Mussels midland 4.1–8.9‐fold more glochidia than those lowland or highland sites; produce 3.1–4.3‐fold hermaphrodites sites. High levels suspended solids low chlorophyll‐a concentrations contribute a higher proportion decrease production.

Environmental niche modelling of the Chinese pond mussel invasion in Europe under climate change scenarios

Ecologica Montenegrina, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 72, С. 210 - 226

Опубликована: Апрель 19, 2024

In this paper, we modelled the Chinese pond mussel distribution in European subcontinent under recent climatic conditions and two climate change scenarios. Using species records of Sinanodonta woodiana (Bivalvia: Unionidae) Europe a set bioclimatic variables, applied maximum entropy approach provided by MaxEnt to build models investigate how each variable affects distribution. We found that winter temperatures had largest contribution all three scenarios (recent, RCP 4.5, 8.5). minimum training presence threshold, as less stringent, 10th percentile more map potential area occurrence. The show climatically optimal range, depicted stricter will be expanded eastwards At same time, minimally suitable environments, represented stringent contracted future climate. highlight British Isles Azov-Kuban Lowland are most suitable, among uninvaded regions, for further S. invasion.
