Abstract
In lakes of the Upper Volga (Yaroslavl district) and in the lower course of the Sura River (Middle Volga), closely related rotifers - common for both studied regions native K. longispina and alien K. bostoniensis - were found. Both species occur all year round and more frequently in spring or autumn, when they are the most abundant. Alien rotifer K. bostoniensis occurred not only simultaneously with indigenous species, but also separately, in more shallow waterbodies. Alien species is more tolerate to bathymetry, basin form, transparency and the trophy state of the waterbody. This likely facilitates wider distribution of the K. bostoniensis in the Sura basin waterbodies compared to indigenous species. Alien species K. bostoniensis spread relatively quickly in the Sura basin without any harm to closely related indigenous species, to which it is not a competitor.
期刊介绍:
Russian Journal of Biological Invasions publishes original scientific papers dealing with biological invasions of alien species in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and covers the following subjects:description of invasion process (theory, modeling, results of observations and experiments): invasion corridors, invasion vectors, invader species adaptations, vulnerability of aboriginal ecosystems;monitoring of invasion process (reports about findings of organisms out of the limits of natural range, propagule pressure assessment, settling dynamics, rates of naturalization);invasion risk assessment; genetic, evolutional, and ecological consequences of biological invasions of alien species; methods, means of hoarding, processing and presentation of applied research data (new developments, modeling, research results, databases) with factual and geoinformation system applications;use of the results of biological invasion research (methods and new basic results) under the study of marine, fresh-water and terrestrial species, populations, communities and ecosystems; control, rational use and eradication of the harmful alien species..
