简介
- Macrobiofouling is an important phenomenon in the aquatic environment, resulting in economic losses and environmental changes, including negative impact on hard‐shelled animals. A freshwater invasive byssate bivalve, the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha (Dreissenidae), strongly affects bivalves from the family Unionidae by fouling their shells. We tested potential mechanisms explaining variable fouling of different unionids (four native species: Anodonta anatina, A. cygnea, Unio pictorum, U. tumidus and the non‐native Sinanodonta woodiana) by the zebra mussel.
- We conducted a field survey (unionids collected at a sandy and muddy site in a dam reservoir), field experiment (unionids exposed without sediments in suspended baskets to dreissenid settlement) and laboratory experiment (a multiple choice test with and without the possibility of unionid burrowing into sandy sediments).
- In the survey …
