我们总结了有关Dreissenapolymorpha(斑马贻贝)和D.r.bugensis(贻贝)的现有知识,包括他们分类的数据,系统学,进化,生命周期,繁殖,喂养,生长和长寿,人口动态,种间竞争,栖息地要求,以及水体内部和水体之间的分布。我们分析了这两种物种的传播历史以及它们在欧洲和北美传播的主要途径和媒介。特别考虑了它们的生态和经济影响及其天敌,像水禽,鱼,和寄生虫,以及防止它们的引入,早期发现,control,和遏制。我们还概述了斑马和斑马贻贝提供的最重要的生态系统服务,包括水净化,营养循环利用,剔除富营养化的影响,生物监测,以及它们作为鱼类和水禽食物资源的作用。最后,我们确定了更好地理解生物学所需的主要知识差距和关键研究,生态学,以及这些侵略性淡水入侵者的影响。我们的审查表明,关于贻贝的许多关键信息仍然缺失,包括关键寿命历史参数,比如产卵线索,繁殖力,和长寿,特别是深湖泊的深渊区。
We summarized existing knowledge on Dreissena polymorpha (the zebra mussel) and D. r. bugensis (the quagga mussel), including data on their taxonomy, systematics, evolution, life cycle, reproduction, feeding, growth and longevity, population dynamics, interspecific competition, habitat requirements, and distribution within and among waterbodies. We analyzed the history of spread of both species and the major pathways and vectors of their spread in Europe and North America. Special consideration was given to their ecological and economic impacts and their natural enemies, like waterfowl, fishes, and parasites, as well as the prevention of their introduction, early detection, control, and containment. We also outlined the most salient ecosystem services provided by zebra and quagga mussels, including water purification, nutrient recycling, culling the effects of eutrophication, biomonitoring, and their role as a food resource for fish and waterfowl. Finally, we identified major knowledge gaps and key studies needed to better understand the biology, ecology, and impacts of these aggressive freshwater invaders. Our review indicates that much crucial information on the quagga mussel is still missing, including key life history parameters, like spawning cues, fecundity, and longevity, particularly for the profundal zone of deep lakes.
