Hybridization and invasiveness in the freshwater snail Melanoides tuberculata: hybrid vigour is more important than increase in genetic variance

Abstract: Many invasive taxa are hybrids, but how hybridization boosts the invasive process remains poorly known. We address this question in the clonal freshwater snail Melanoides tuberculata from Martinique, using three parental and two hybrid lines. We combine an extensive field survey (1990–2003) and a quantitative genetic experiment to show that hybrid lines have outcompeted their parents in natural habitats, and that this increased invasiveness co‐occurred with pronounced shifts in life‐history traits, such as gro… Show more

“…The capacity of foreign progeny to outcompete local individuals could be partly mediated by nonadditive effect for survival (Hänfling, 2007). This was not documented so far in marine fishes, but ecological success of interpopulation hybrids mediated by positive nonadditive genetic effects have been reported for, e.g., freshwater gastropods (Facon, Jarne, Pointier, & David, 2005) and amphibians (Fitzpatrick & Shaffer, 2007). Hence, evidence of positive nonadditive genetic effects in a marine cultured fish deserves further attention as they not only impact production, but may have unforeseen consequences on wild fish.…”

“…Several studies have demonstrated the importance of maintaining endemic or native species in the conservation and recovery of natural areas as constituting a fundamental aspect of preserving the biodiversity of ecosystems and improving our understanding of their biotic and abiotic interaction processes (Pérez et al, 2003;Facon et al, 2005;Magalhães et al, 2005;Roman, 2006;Heborg et al, 2007).…”

“…First, if hybrids are superior to parents in a particular habitat and capable of interbreeding with each other, they might become reproductively isolated (i.e. hybrids breed only with hybrids) from, and even competitively exclude, parental types [113]. Hybrid lineages might therefore occupy a restricted geographical area that is bounded by the parentals' ranges or they might actually displace parentals from a given habitat [35].…”
