“…Finally, the later season start may be an artifact of sampling offshore in a deep lake. If Bythotrephes begins hatching in shallow, nearshore areas (e.g., Cavaletto et al 2010), abundances at our deep, offshore sampling stations would be below the detection limits for the sample size used in our study for these dates.…”

“…From 1999-2007, the mean annual epilimnetic temperature observed in Lake Simcoe from July through October varied from 18.7 to 21.6 °C (mean ±1 SE across all years was 19.8 ± 3.4 °C), which was higher than temperatures at which peak Bythotrephes population densities occurred in Lake Michigan (i.e., 14.6 ± 0.9 °C; Cavaletto et al 2010), but remained well within the range of Bythotrephes preferences and physiological tolerances (Garton et al 1990, Kim and Yan 2010, Kerfoot et al 2011). …”

The invasion of the nonindigenous zooplankter Bythotrephes longimanus in Lake Simcoe has the potential to impact overall ecosystem functioning, yet there is currently no information regarding the status and dynamics of its population. We used a combination of uni-and multivariate analyses to examine variation in Bythotrephes interannual and seasonal abundance, and life-history characteristics in Lake Simcoe from 1999 to 2007, and we explored the biotic (predators, prey) and/or abiotic (water quality, temperature) factors that may have regulated its population over this period. The mean annual abundance of Bythotrephes varied by an order of magnitude over the period of study and was significantly associated with epilimnetic temperature and prey and predator abundance. Bythotrephes typically appeared in early summer and had 2 seasonal abundance peaks, which varied in magnitude and timing within and among years. August and September Secchi depth and total phosphorus concentration predicted groups of years with similar Bythotrephes phenologies, lending further support to the role of water clarity as a significant component of this visual predator's habitat in its invaded range. Bythotrephes body size and reproductive patterns also varied seasonally, possibly reflecting the seasonal availability of cladoceran prey, predation pressure from planktivorous fish, or adaptations to avoid unfavourable conditions. Overall, a complex interaction of fish predation, food availability, temperature, and water clarity controlled the dynamics of Bythotrephes in Lake Simcoe. Changes to the Lake Simcoe ecosystem due to Bythotrephes invasion may have important consequences for the ecosystem services provided by the lake and merit further investigation.

“…Bythotrephes were sampled on a routine basis from 1994 through 2003 at a 110 m deep station in Lake Michigan located 11 nautical miles west of Muskegon, Michigan (43°11.29′N, 86°32.16 W) Cavaletto et al, 2010). Details of population dynamics can be found in Cavaletto et al (2010); we report here what is necessary for construction of the bioenergetics model.…”

Inconsistency for the niche breadth invasion success hypothesis in aquatic invertebrates

Comparison of highly successful and less successful invasive species can highlight traits that are associated with invasion success, and indicate the associated risk of further establishment or invasion from novel species. We compared variation in d revealed, in most cases, greater niche breadth in the more successful species of tunicate but the less successful species of waterflea and oyster. Comparison with the literature suggested that a broad dietary niche is less crucial for widespread distribution of aquatic invasive invertebrates than it is for vertebrates (i.e., fishes). Inconsistency in the association between isotopic niche breadth and invasion success could be due to a greater influence of habitat suitability on variation in invertebrate diets. These findings challenge the common assumption that a broader niche promotes invasion success, and thus, have implications for invasive species risk assessment, management, and our understanding of species spread and distribution.
