“…In the field experiments, seston Dchl a and Dcarotenoids were significantly negatively correlated with mussel density and biomass at both sites. This indicates that freshwater mussels are clearing phytoplankton from the water column, with more mussels clearing a larger proportion of the water volume, as has been observed in a number of previous experiments (e.g., Soto & Mena, 1999;Chowdhury et al, 2016;Douda & Č adková, 2018). Clearance rates (CRs) calculated from laboratory experiments for both river species were relatively high, averaging 0.8-1 l mussel -1 h -1 and reaching over 3 l mussel -1 h -1 in M. vondembuschiana.…”

Effects of mussels on nutrient cycling and bioseston in two contrasting tropical freshwater habitats

Freshwater mussels (Unionida) can strongly affect nutrient cycling in temperate ecosystems but data from the tropics is lacking. We quantified the effects of mussel filtration, excretion and biodeposition on nutrient and photosynthetic pigment concentrations in a tropical eutrophic lake and mesotrophic river, featuring one non-native and two native species, respectively. Changes in nutrient and pigment concentrations were measured over a 3 h period to assess effects on (1) the water column in field enclosures, and (2) water column and benthos combined in controlled laboratory experiments. In field enclosures in both systems, mussel density and biomass were significantly correlated with the magnitude of reduction in sestonic pigment concentrations. In laboratory experiments, presence of mussels led to reduced PO 4 and increased TAN concentrations in both systems, lower combined sestonic and deposited pigment concentrations in the river but increases in the same in the lake. We conclude that excretion by mussels probably accelerated bioseston growth in both systems due to N-fertilisation, an effect that may be particularly common in tropical freshwaters, which are frequently N-limited. However, whilst river mussels reduced bioseston concentrations through rapid filtration, higher rates of N-excretion and/or deposition of undigested bioseston by lake mussels apparently resulted in a net increase of pigment concentrations.

In these cases S. woodiana can compete with native unionids for food, increase resistance to glochidia in potential host fish and serve as vector for introduction of new parasites and diseases (Lopes-Lima et al, 2017;Donrovich et al, 2017;Douda and Čadková, 2018).…”

This study is devoted mainly to the distribution and its changes, inhabited and preferable habitats of bivalves from family Unionidae in the territory of the Czech Republic and the discussion of major threats and conservation measures. Altogether 6 autochthonous (Unio crassus, Unio pictorum, Unio tumidus, Anodonta anatina, Anodonta cygnea, Pseudanodonta complanata) and 1 allochthonous species (Sinanodonta woodiana) has been known in the Czech Republic. All these species occurred in all three river basins (Labe, Odra, Danube) and watersheds (North, Baltic and Black seas). A. anatina is the most widespread and common unionid while P. complanata is an autochthonous bivalve with the most restricted area of distribution. U. crassus has been a significantly disappearing species. As in most European countries, pollution and habitat loss including fragmentation and degradation, together with other factors such as water abstraction, invasive species and loss of fish hosts are the main threats affecting their populations.

“…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.
