dc.description.abstract | Springs are unique aquatic environments that support specific biota, including endemic
species and rare species listed in Red Lists. Due to their usually small size, springs are highly sensitive
to disturbance. Many of them are threatened by aquifer depletion, contamination, surface-water
diversion, livestock trampling, recreation, and invasive species. The aim of this study was to assess
the colonization success of the invasive New Zealand mud snail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) in a cold
spring ecosystem in southern Poland. In Europe, this species has recently been added to the top
“hundred worst” alien species due to its impact on invaded ecosystems. The study was carried out in
two areas of the spring ecosystem—in the springhead and the springbrook—over a four-year period.
Potamopyrus antipodarum dominated the benthic macroinvertebrate communities in both areas of
the spring ecosystem. Nevertheless, its abundance in the springbrook was significantly greater, and
increased noticeably during subsequent years compared to that in the springhead. The populations
of P. antipodarum were exclusively composed of females. Smaller-sized New Zealand mudsnails
were more abundant near the spring’s source than at the second site. The females at the springhead
became fecund at sizes as small as 3.7 mm (the number of embryos was between 0 and 37), while
at the springbrook, embryos were found in snails as small as 3.4 mm (the number of embryos was
between 0 and 42). Our results suggest that the lower water temperature at the springhead may
limit the population size of P. antipodarum, thus making its density too low to be able to affect the
community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates, including the spring snail Bythinella cf. austriaca. | pl_PL |
