“…The nutrients from agriculture proliferates growth of macrophytes on which the scrapers Thiaridae (Mesogastropoda) and Gomphidae (Odonata) anchor and feed. The FPOM from the agriculture land use serves as food for gathering and filtering collectors as also observed by Miserendino (2001) and Kerans et al (2005) in plateau and temperate rivers, respectively. The abundance of gathering and filtering collectors in agricultural land use has been observed in the Paisuni also (Mishra & Nautiyal 2011).…”

Examination of benthic macroinvertebrates in semi-natural, urban and agricultural land use along the highland Ken River in central India reveals a significantly higher density in semi-natural compared with other two landuse. Insects dominate the fauna at seminatural (90%) and urban locations (93%) compared to agriculture sites (48%) where where annelid share increases to 32%. The seminatural location characterized by rocky substrate support high relative abundance of Caenidae and Neoephemeridae. Their abundance decreases at urban locations. Brachycentridae, Chironomidae, Glossocolecidae, Nephthydae, Thiaridae and Corbiculidae increased at urban and agriculture locations characterized by small-sized sediments, suggesting important role for substrate also. Ordination shows that the Caenidae and Heptageniidae are characteristic at semi-natural location, Leptophlebiidae, Hydropsychidae, Glossosomatidae at urban while Thiaridae and Chironomidae at agricultural locations. Functionally, the collectors dominate the fauna, as all three landuse, especially large tracts of agriculture, are a continuous source of particulate organic matter (POM) in the river.

“…Therefore, the presence of biological substrates, utilised for direct (Hanlon 1981) or indirect feeding (via associated bacteria), is a factor that promotes both colonisation and fecundity, thereby fostering the spread of this invader. Furthermore, the variety of biological substrates gives a measure of the extent of the potential impact that this species may have on trophic structure (Hall et al 2006), matter cycling (Hall et al 2003), and ultimately, on benthic macroinvertebrates (Kerans et al 2005;Proctor et al 2007;Vinson et al 2007). Passive transport by floating decaying material may constitute a further mechanism of dispersal of the mudsnail.…”

“…This has raised concerns regarding the potential impact of this species on ecosystem functioning (Kerans et al 2005;Hall et al 2006), and biodiversity (Proctor et al 2007;Vinson et al 2007). In order to understand the relationship between habitat type and reproduction, and to evaluate the potential of this invader to spread in Italian watercourses, we investigated its reproduction and ecology in populations from three watercourses of different size, current speed, type of bottom substrate and vegetation.…”

Although the New Zealand mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum has been observed in Italy since 1961, no investigations have gone beyond recording its presence. In this study, populations from three Italian watercourses with different environmental features were comparatively analysed with a view to shedding light on the relationships between habitat type and reproduction. At the study sites, populations were exclusively composed of females. Ultra-structural details showed that egg growth takes place through the accumulation of stored materials, which are essentially constituted by translucent vesicles (lipids) and by electron-dense granules with a darker rim (proteins), the latter deriving from the confluence of smaller granules of the same type. The egg surface displays numerous microvilli, which interdigitate with those emerging from both adjacent eggs and bordering cells. Our comparative analysis shows that the populations differ slightly in fecundity, whereas the number of brooded embryos/female markedly decreases, in parallel with the mean density, in running-water habitats lacking aquatic vegetation. Statistical analysis confirms that P. antipodarum positively selects biological substrates, such as beds of Vaucheria sp. and even, on occasion, dead leaves and wood floating on the water surface. The results suggest that biological substrates constitute one of the key factors favouring the massive spread of P. antipodarum in watercourses.

“…Such temperatures (0-5°C) have been associated with lower performance and population densities of P. antipodarum in a Danish estuary (Europe) and the Silver Creek watershed (Idaho, USA) (Siegismund & Hylleberg, 1987;Moffitt & James, 2012a, b). In fact, temperature is generally considered to drive P. antipodarum dynamics even if temperature tolerance may vary between invasive clones (Gangloff, 1998;Kerans et al, 2005). Temperature is one of the most significant physicochemical variables positively related to P. antipodarum density, as demonstrated in 15 European sites from North West England and the French Bay of Mont St. Michel (including Le Petit Hermitage) (Dussart, 1977;Gérard & Dussart, 2003) and in two California (USA) lakes (Bennett et al, 2015).…”

“…Some studies (e.g., Kerans et al, 2005;Hall et al, 2006;Moore et al, 2012) have shown negative interactions between P. antipodarum density (and/or biomass) and those of native macroinvertebrates. In a North American California stream for instance, as P. antipodarum populations rose and fell, the abundance of native grazing herbivores crashed and then recovered (Moore et al, 2012).…”
