“…The species is quite tolerant to high siltation rates and relatively high water temperatures (Zettler and Jueg, 2006;Paunovic et al, 2006;Kraszewski and Zdanowski, 2007). It was experimentally shown that filtration rate of S. woodiana is higher in comparison to Unio douglasiae at higher temperature (Kim et al, 2011). Competition of S. woodiana is most possibly favoured by its overall stress-tolerance, assessed by biochemical markers such as cholinesterase enzyme activity (Corsi et al, 2007).…”

“…It is a benthic species associated with soft sediment and is known to tolerate low water quality in terms of organic and inorganic pollution (Li et al., ). Adult S. woodiana combine benthic and filter‐feeding modes (Kim, Lee, & Hwang, ) and are highly efficient in depleting sestonic food in the environment (Douda & Čadková, ). Female S. woodiana brood offspring in their gills and release ripe larvae (glochidia) into the water column where they attach to a fish host to complete development and metamorphose into a free‐living juvenile mussel.…”

Understanding the invasive potential of species outside their native range is one of the most pressing questions in applied evolutionary and ecological research. Admixture of genotypes of invasive species from multiple sources has been implicated in successful invasions, by generating novel genetic combinations that facilitate rapid adaptation to new environments. Alternatively, adaptive evolution on standing genetic variation, exposed by phenotypic plasticity and selected by genetic accommodation, can facilitate invasion success. We investigated the population genetic structure of an Asian freshwater mussel with a parasitic dispersal stage, Sinanodonta woodiana, which has been present in Europe since 1979 but which has expanded rapidly in the last decade. Data from a mitochondrial marker and nuclear microsatellites have suggested that all European populations of S. woodiana originate from the River Yangtze basin in China. Only a single haplotype was detected in Europe, in contrast to substantial mitochondrial diversity in native Asian populations. Analysis of microsatellite markers indicated intensive gene flow and confirmed a lower genetic diversity of European populations compared to those from the Yangtze basin, though that difference was not large. Using an Approximate Bayesian Modelling approach, we identified two areas as the probable source of the spread of S. woodiana in Europe, which matched historical records for its establishment. Their populations originated from a single colonization event. Our data do not support alternative explanations for the rapid recent spread of S. woodiana; recent arrival of a novel (cold‐tolerant) genotype or continuous propagule pressure. Instead, in situ adaptation, facilitated by repeated admixture, appears to drive the ongoing expansion of S. woodiana. We discuss management consequences of our results.

“…However, because of experimental limitations, simplified water flow, and short retention time interval, the model was validated only with increased mussel body size. In related research (Kim et al, ), freshwater bivalves with similar body size showed relatively small differences in filtration rate, but in mussels with a limited range of body size and density, the filtration rate would further increase with increasing water temperature. We consider that a multifactorial analytical approach, which takes into account the interaction of independent variables (including individual body size, environmental factors, flow rate and retention time) provides a basis for models designed to assess the nonlinear nature of the response under limited experimental conditions.…”

The substantial filtration capacity of freshwater mussels makes them attractive tools for environmental management. In this study, we applied a central composite design to estimate independent variables and establish optimal conditions of filtration rate and faeces production that enhance filtration of suspended organic matter by the freshwater mussel Sinanodonta woodiana. The results indicated that statistical design methodology offers an efficient and feasible approach for identifying optimal conditions for high filtration and low faeces production, using just a small number (30) of individuals. The proposed model equation takes into account the quantitative effect of variables and also the influence of interactions among variables on mussel filtration rate. Under the optimal experimental conditions (mussel size, 13.0 ± 0.2 cm; flow rate, 17.5 L/h), the experimental filtration rate of 4.47 ± 1.82 L/mussel/h showed a degree of correspondence with the predicted value of 8.4 L/mussel/h, which verified the practicability of this optimum strategy. Our findings contribute to our understanding of the context‐specific ecosystem engineering provided by mussels in natural systems, and also provides a framework for optimizing conditions for the applied use of mussels as biological filters.
