“…Bythotrephes is a harmful aquatic NIS that invaded all the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America in the 1970s and 1980s (Bur et al 1986), dramatically lowering the biodiversity of pelagic zooplankton (Barbiero andTuchman 2004, Yan et al 2002). It has since spread to .150 inland lakes in, and beyond the Great Lakes watershed in Canada and the USA (Therriault et al 2002, Branstrator et al 2006, Weisz and Yan 2010.…”

Abstract. Predicting establishment of exotic species is a central goal of invasion biology, and is dependent upon propagule pressure and population processes. We introduced invading spiny water fleas, Bythotrephes longimanus at different propagule pressures into 19 experimental enclosures, following populations over asexual generations, resting egg production, and emergence in the following year. We integrated experimental results with field data to generate a stochastic population model, predicting establishment in relation to propagule pressure and introduction date. Our results suggested that Allee effects are operational at higher densities or smaller volumes than previously predicted, that stochasticity plays an important role in establishment, and demographic stochasticity may be correlated between individuals. Further, our novel theoretical derivations suggest that organisms should modify their sex ratios to reduce Allee effects. The functional form using adaptive sex-ratios was consistent with both mesocosm and field data. Despite the occurrence of Allee effects and stochasticity, there was still no date during the growing season where we predict lakes to be entirely safe from Bythotrephes invasions. A single propagule had approximately a 0.15 establishment probability in our mesocosms, if introduced early in the season; propagule pressures of 10 had . 0.50 probability, regardless of introduction date.Key words: adaptation; Allee effects; exotic species; mesocosm experiment; non-indigenous species; optimality; population dynamics; probability; sex-ratio.

“…Unlike other predaceous zooplankton, adult Bythotrephes have been found to prefer larger cladoceran prey (> 2.0 mm) in experimental treatments (SCHULZ and YURISTA, 1999). Native to European and Asian waters, Bythotrephes was introduced to the Laurentian Great Lakes in 1984, establishing first in Lake Huron and then sequentially in Lakes Erie, Ontario, Michigan and Superior (BUR et al, 1986;CULLIS and JOHNSON, 1988;EVANS, 1988;LANGE and CAP, 1986;LEHMAN, 1987). It is generally accepted that they arrived via ballast water during periods of extensive international shipping (SPRULES et al, 1990).…”

We examined changes in the nearshore zooplankton community of South Bay, Lake Huron before (1982) and after (2002-2005) the invasions of dreissenid mussels and Bythotrephes longimanus and found substantial changes including lower cladoceran abundance, particularly Bosminidae, and higher copepod abundance after invasion. We also estimated changes in the energy content of zooplankton potentially available to larval lake whitefish before and after invasion using published values of energy content per unit mass. There were no differences in available zooplankton energy in May, the period when larvae feed inshore based on thermal preferences and surface temperature data. We conclude that changes in nearshore zooplankton communities following these species invasions probably do not affect larval lake whitefish.

“…The Palearctic predatory cladoceran, "the spiny wateflea" Bythotrephes longimanus Leydig (Cladocera: Cercopagidae), was among the most successful zooplankton invaders to the North American continent, first found in Lake Ontario in 1982 (Johannsson et al (1991), and by 1989 established in all Laurentian Great Lakes (Bur et al 1986;Lange & Cap 1986;Lehman 1987;Evans 1988;Cullis & Johnson 1988;). Since then Bythotrephes has spread in many inland lakes of the Great Lakes basin (Yan et al 1992;Yan & Pawson 1997;.…”
