Long-term demography of a zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) population
1. We used long-term data and a simulation model to investigate temporal fluctuations in zebra mussel populations, which govern the ecological and economic impacts of this pest species. 2. The size of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) population in the Hudson River estuary fluctuated approximately 11-fold across a 13-year period, following a cycle with a 2–4 year period. 3. This cycling w...
متن کاملSeasonal Dynamics of Conchophthirus acuminatus ( Ciliophora , Conchophthiridae ) Infection in Dreissena polymorpha and D . bugensis ( Bivalvia , Dreissenidae )
Although considerable research has been carried out on Dreissena spp., relatively little is known about the symbiotic organisms living within them. We report a two-year study of the dynamics of infection by the commensal ciliate Conchophthirus acuminatus in D. polymorpha and D. bugensis populations in the Dnieper River in the Ukraine and in four D. polymorpha populations in Belarus. C. acuminat...
متن کاملImpacts of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) on large lakes: influence of vertical turbulent mixing
Vertical mixing processes and thermal structure of large lakes can impact the biological processes both through vertical transport processes and the exponential decay of light with depth. I investigated the role of these issues in algal consumption, production and influence on oxygen dynamics. The impact of a benthic filter feeder limited by physical transport of algae to the benthos. Hydrodyna...
متن کاملComparison of bioconcentration factors of tetrachlorobenzyltoluenes in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) and zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha).
Preliminary bioconcentration factors (BCFs) were determined of six tetrachlorobenzyltoluenes (TCBTs) in guppies (Poecilia reticulata). BCFs and rate constants were derived by an iterative integration method. With this method BCFs and rate constants can be derived from experimental data of a bioconcentration test, even if the concentration in the water is not constant and steady state has not be...
متن کاملEffects of Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) Colonization on Water Quality Parameters in Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron
A large-scale study of Saginaw Bay was initiated in 1990 and continued through 1993 to examine the effects of the zebra mussel colonization which began in summerlfall 1991. Saginaw Bay responded quickly to the zebra mussel colonization, as fall 1991 values of chlorophyll were similar to 1992 and 1993 values. In inner Saginaw Bay, where most zebra mussels were found, chlorophyll, kPAR, and total...
