“…Severe population declines and even total collapses of NIS populations have been observed in a variety of taxa (Simberloff & Gibbons 2004;Aagaard & Lockwood 2016), including D. polymorpha in Polish lakes and Russian reservoirs (Stanczykowska & Lewandowski 1993;Lazareva et al 2016). In R ıo Tercero Reservoir (Argentina), invaded by L. fortunei around 1998, in 2006 the mussel dominated the coastal fringe down to 10 m depth, with densities of up to over 10 000 ind.…”

“…Further, while adult mussels consume zooplankton (Rojas Molina et al 2010;Rojas Molina et al 2011;Rojas Molina et al 2012;Rojas Molina et al 2015), their larvae are most probably a major food resource for many planktonic Crustacea. Studies on D. polymorpha indicate that their veligers are actively fed upon by several rotifers, cladocerans and cyclopoid copepods, which can consume up to 60-90% of their standing stocks (Lazareva et al 2016;Bowen et al 2018). Increasing rates of predation of the crustaceans by fish is also unlikely because planktivorous fishes are scarce in the Uruguay River basin (only 6 of 100 fish species investigated rely primarily on zooplankton as a food source; L opez-Rodr ıguez et al 2019), and because an increase in zooplanktivorous fish larvae, which feed on larval mussels (Paolucci & Thuesen 2015), would also have had an impact on the veligers.…”

The behavior of non‐indigenous species with time since introduction varies widely and is a major issue in the understanding of their long‐term effects on the habitats colonised. We analysed the long‐term trends in the densities of larvae of the invasive mussel Limnoperna fortunei and planktonic Copepoda and Cladocera in Salto Grande, a large South American reservoir in the Uruguay River (Argentina‐Uruguay), on the basis of weekly samples collected between June 2004 and November 2019. All three groups depicted variable interannual abundances. While mussel veligers showed no significant interannual trends (overall mean: 2552 larvae L−1), crustaceans decreased significantly in the time elapsed (Copepoda: from ˜1000 to 100 ind. L−1; Cladocera: from ˜500 to 100 ind. L−1). We conclude that increasing discharge rates by the Uruguay River and the concomitant decreases in reservoir water residence times are the most likely cause for these drops in their populations. As opposed to many other invasive species elsewhere, and to the same mussel in other South American waterbodies, L. fortunei larvae did not change in abundance with time since introduction. Our results underscore the assumption that each biological introduction is a particular and highly context‐dependent event and the dynamics of biological invasions in general elude broad generalizations.

“…Because of its specific behavior, the zebra mussel inhabits lake outlets that provide food and migratory opportunities. Due to their free‐living nature and small size, the zebra mussel larvae may drift freely throughout the river volume like other planktonic organisms (Lazareva et al., 2016 ; Mills et al., 1995 ). Studies on zooplankton drift from lake outlets showed that zooplankton can drift passively up to several kilometers downstream (Basu & Pick, 1997 ; Pourriot et al., 1997 ).…”

The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) has all traits required to effectively colonize the aquatic environment and consequently reduce the diversity of native bivalves. We hypothesized that the zebra mussel chooses lake outlets characterized by medium current velocity and good food conditions. Here, we analyzed differences between bivalve abundances in lake outlets with varying environmental conditions such as the Carlson Index (trophy status), depth, width, current velocity, bed vegetation coverage, and type of bottom substrate. The results showed that the zebra mussel inhabits outlets that provide food (high trophy outlets) and have a mineral bed and a medium current velocity (ca. 0.2–0.3 m/s). The following main factors seem to be favorable for colonizing such outlets: (1) easy access to high amounts of food due to the increased density of the suspension drifting from the lake and (2) easy transport of the zebra mussel larvae from the lake to the downstream. The zebra mussel larvae drifting with the current may colonize the downstream. An increase in lake trophy may indirectly cause an increase in biological invasions in rivers.

Large, predatory, non‐indigenous species such as the cladoceran, Bythotrephes longimanus, can have a profound effect on aquatic food webs, but determining the prey consumed by such species is problematic because they shred prey externally and consume only soft body tissues. We assessed the usefulness of an immunochemical approach, in which putative zooplankton prey were homogenized and polyclonal antibodies against total proteins were raised in rabbits and purified against predator proteins. Using either dot‐blot or enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay‐plate formats, assays easily detected prey proteins in single B. longimanus. Issues encountered included some degree of cross‐reaction with predator proteins and among prey species for some antisera and questions concerning determination of a correct blank value for assays, however, there are feasible approaches to resolving these issues. Immunochemical assays were readily applied in to a total of 185 individual B. longimanus in the Lake Michigan pelagic ecosystem in summer of 2008 and 2009 and indicated ingestion of cladoceran and copepod species, typically described in the literature, but also dreissenid veliger larvae and the large copepod Limnocalanus macrurus, not usually considered prey for Bythotrephes. Assays results showed some degree of correlation with numerical abundances of zooplankton prey in the water column, suggesting generalist feeding. Protein immunochemical assays offer a quick, sensitive and practical approach to examining planktonic food‐web questions that are compatible with, but have certain advantages over, alternatives such as nucleic acid techniques.
