Apple snails (Ampullaridae) from the genus Pomacea are globally invasive species that are highly damaging to aquaculture and aquatic ecosystems. Pomacea maculata was introduced to Louisiana in the early 2000s and rapidly spread throughout the southern half of the state, where invasive populations now threaten valuable aquaculture economies and a large area of aquatic ecosystems that sustain biodiversity important to commercial and recreational fisheries. Despite these risks, little work has been dedicated to understanding how apple snails disperse through invaded areas in Louisiana. To shed light on potential dispersal dynamics, we assessed population genetic structure of P. maculata in Louisiana at multiple spatial scales using microsatellites of snails collected from seven sampling locations. Overall, genetic diversity was relatively high across all sampling locations. Significant genetic structure was observed among sampling sites, indicating Barataria Preserve and the four sampling locations within Terrebonne Basin as distinct populations. Genetic distances were smallest among the four sampling locations within Terrebonne Basin. These findings suggest that dispersal within hydrologic units is higher than between units, meaning that apple snails may primarily move through systems through passive downstream dispersal. However, geographically distant populations also showed evidence of genetic mixing, pointing toward human-aided long-distance dispersal events. Regular dispersal of apple snails within and among hydrologic units highlights the risk of invasions in highly interconnected aquatic systems where dispersal rates may be especially high due to human modifications.</div>","PeriodicalId":8262,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Ecology","volume":"58 2","pages":"487 - 500"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139750445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Watercress is usually an emergent plant and affects water flow patterns and may provide habitat for biota. Although watercress is not considered an invasive species, its impacts in springs have not been reported. With a goal to describe possible impacts of watercress in springs, 14 karst-associated springs (12 with watercress) were surveyed for sediment characteristics, macroinvertebrates, and diatoms in July 2021. The effects of watercress were evident. Sediment particle size was unaffected by the presence of watercress but sediment organic matter was higher under watercress beds than outside of beds. Although there was no difference in total benthic macroinvertebrate density or richness, higher organic matter was associated with slightly higher abundances of detritivorous and predatory macroinvertebrates (SIMPER). Submerged portions of watercress had significantly much lower diatom density than other spring substrates, with diatom composition similar to other plants but different from that of rocks. Self-shading or possible allelopathy may cause the low diatom density. The significantly lower macroinvertebrate density within watercress mats relative to that of other plants may result from a reduced food source because the plant’s low diatom density. Only predatory damselflies were more common in watercress than in other plants, which had more abundant grazers.

In this study, aquatic food web relations were analysed by studying the grazing and energy transfer rates. In solar saltern, the dynamic population of Dunaliella displays a negative relationship with that of Fabrea and Artemia. Grazing experiments confirm that Fabrea and Artemia exercise a top-down control on Dunaliella populations. While Artemia and Fabrea occupy the same trophic level in food chain, the grazing rate of Fabrea on Dunaliella is strongly high reaching 0.85 × 106 ± 0.05 cells mL−1 day−1. The fatty acids (FAs) appeared as good tracers to define the energy transfer along the food chain studied. Effectively, the FA composition of consumers appeared correlated to the FA of their prey. In parallel, the saturated fatty acids (SFAs) content decreased according to the trophic levels, and the opposite was observed for monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). Therefore, palmitic acid (C16:0) showed trends that rendered it useful for tracing trophic transfer to consumers (Artemia). The polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and especially linoleic acid (C18:2) and linolenic acid (C18:3) were able to be traced across the transfer to Fabrea.
