“…Potamopyrgus antipodarum , colloquially known as the New Zealand mudsnail, is a globally invasive freshwater snail found in fresh and brackish waters in their native New Zealand range. These snails are a powerful model for biological invasion studies because they have recently invaded all continents except Antarctica (Alonso & Castro‐Díez, 2012 ; Collado, 2014 ; Taybi et al., 2021 ). In these novel environments, P .…”

Understanding how and why some species or lineages become invasive is critically important for effectively predicting and mitigating biological invasions. Here, we address an important unanswered question in invasion biology: do key life‐history traits of invasive versus native lineages within a species differ in response to key environmental stressors? We focus on the environmental factor of population density, which is a fundamental characteristic of all populations, and investigate how changes in density affect native versus invasive Potamopyrgus antipodarum (New Zealand mudsnail). P. antipodarum has invaded 39 countries and detrimentally affects invaded environments. Previous studies of native and invasive populations and from laboratory experiments have demonstrated that growth and reproduction of P. antipodarum is sensitive to population density, though whether and how this sensitivity varies across native versus invasive lineages remains uncharacterized. We quantified individual growth rate and reproduction in P. antipodarum from multiple distinct native and invasive lineages across three different population density treatments. The growth of native but not invasive lineages decreased as density increased. There was no differential effect of density treatment on embryo production of invasive versus native snails, but a significantly higher proportion of snails were reproductive in high density compared to intermediate density for invasive lineages. In native lineages, there were no significant differences in the relative frequency of reproductive snails across density treatments. While the extent to which these results from our laboratory study can be extrapolated to the more complex natural world remain unclear, our findings are consistent with a scenario where differential sensitivity to population density could help explain why some lineages become successful invaders. Our findings also align with previous studies that show that invasive P. antipodarum lineages exhibit a relatively wide range of tolerance to environmental stressors.

“…Due to its ability to adapt to external stressors such as advantageous reproductive strategy and competitive traits (Duft et al 2003; Alonso and Castro-Díez 2008), which encompass both sexual and parthenogenetic reproduction (Zaranko et al 1997;Dybdahl and Kane 2005). Potamopyrgus antipodarum has successfully spread across vast parts of Europe, North America, South America, Australia, Asia and Africa (Alonso and Castro-Díez 2008; Taybi et al 2021) where it has observed substantial ecological impacts on aquatic ecosystems. These successful invasion of this invasive species is facilitated by its ability to be transported through several taxa such as migratory birds (Boycott 1936;Lassen 1975;Ponder 1988) and sh (trout and perch) ( Indeed, to prevent an ecological pandemonium (Elton 1942) and to protect natural habitats and endemic species, it is crucial to take proactive measures and prioritize the allocation of resources (Tarkan et al 2022).…”

Climate change and invasive species are two major global environmental challenges affecting freshwater ecosystems. This study investigates the preferences and potential distribution of Potamopyrgus antipodarum, an invasive species, in relation to climate zones and habitat types. It highlights the importance of coastal wetlands and high soil organic carbon content in determining the species' habitat suitability. The findings indicate that P. antipodarum exhibits a preference for cool temperate and moist climatic zones, as well as temperate floodplain rivers, wetlands, and coastal rivers. Coastal wetlands, with their high soil organic carbon content, are particularly critical for the species. In terms of distribution, the species is projected to expand significantly in North America, with potential extensions into South America. The case of Türkiye reveals an alignment between its habitat and the natural distribution areas of P. antipodarum. Although Türkiye may experience habitat contraction, it still possesses a broader range of potential habitats compared to other regions. The Eastern Black Sea Basin in Türkiye emerges as a potential future distribution direction for the species, influenced by historical geological transformations and distinct climatic variations. Climate suitability plays a vital role in the invasiveness of P. antipodarum, with anticipated future climate regimes impacting its dispersal capabilities. The adaptability of the species within its habitat raises concerns about its ecological impacts and implications for biodiversity conservation. Effective measures are necessary to mitigate the adverse effects of P. antipodarum in the face of its expanding global distribution and invasive potential. This study provides valuable insights into the potential range expansion and dispersal patterns of P. antipodarum. It underscores the importance of considering climate change and hydro-environmental characteristics when predicting and managing the impacts of invasive species on freshwater ecosystems. Further research and conservation efforts are required to address the ecological consequences of P. antipodarum expansion and the challenges posed by invasive species in the context of climate change.

“…The phenomenon that invasive species successfully invade new environments despite having a low genetic variance is called the "Genetic Paradox of Biological Invasion" (Estoup et al, 2016;Frankham, 2005;Kolbe et al, 2004). However, various studies found that not all invasive species show a lower genetic variability and that diversity differs a lot between species (Bossdorf et al, 2005;Dlugosch & Parker, 2008;Kolbe et al, 2004;Lee, 2002;terHorst et al, 2018).…”

“…The New Zealand mud snail (NZMS) Potamopyrgus antipodarum is a particularly suitable invasive species to investigate genetic adaptation and phenotypic plasticity. This fresh and brackish water snail originates from New Zealand and was introduced to Australia, Europe, North America, Japan, Chile, and most recently reached northern Africa (Alonso & Castro‐Díez, 2012; Collado, 2014; Taybi et al, 2021). The NZMS had already been introduced to Europe by the mid‐19th century, probably in the ballast water of ships (Ponder, 1988; Smith, 1889).…”

Climate change may force organisms to adapt genetically or plastically to new environmental conditions. Invasive species show remarkable potential for rapid adaptation. The ovoviviparous New Zealand mud snail (NZMS), Potamopyrgus antipodarum , has successfully established across Europe with two clonally reproducing mitochondrial lineages since its arrival in the first half of the 19th century. Its remarkable variation in shell morphology was shown to be fitness relevant. We investigated the effects of temperature on shell morphology across 11 populations from Germany and the Iberian Peninsula in a common garden across three temperatures. We analyzed size and shape using geometric morphometrics. For both, we compared reaction norms and estimated heritabilities. For size, the interaction of temperature and haplotype explained about 50% of the total variance. We also observed more genotype by environment interactions indicating a higher degree of population differentiation than in shape. Across the three temperatures, size followed the expectations of the temperature‐size rule, with individuals growing larger in cold environments. Changes in shape may have compensated for changes in size affecting space for brooding embryos. Heritability estimates were relatively high. As indicated by the very low coefficients of variation for clonal repeatability ( CV A ), they can probably not be compared in absolute terms. However, they showed some sensitivity to temperature, in haplotype t more so than in z, which was only found in Portugal. The low CV A values indicate that genetic variation among European populations is still restricted with a low potential to react to selection. A considerable fraction of the genetic variation was due to differences between the clonal lineages. The NZMS has apparently not been long enough in Europe to accumulate significant genetic variation relevant for morphological adaptation. As temperature is obviously not the sole factor influencing shell morphology, their interaction will probably not be a factor limiting population persistence under a warming climate in Europe.
