Analysis of four dispersion vectors in inland waters: the case of the invading bivalves in South America

As a consequence of the current globalization of commerce, natural environments are subject to an unprecedented dynamic transport of organisms because global conditions favor transport, settlement, and dispersal of invading species. These produce widespread impacts such as decreased agricultural and...

description As a consequence of the current globalization of commerce, natural environments are subject to an unprecedented dynamic transport of organisms because global conditions favor transport, settlement, and dispersal of invading species. These produce widespread impacts such as decreased agricultural and utility production, increased health risks to humans and wildlife, and a significant decrease in native biodiversity. On the assumption that it is better to prevent bioinvasions than to control them, it is of paramount importance to identify and manage the potential dispersal vectors to implement preventive strategies. In our study, we identified 4 potential vectors in southern Brazil (sand transport, attachment to hulls of sports fishing boats, water in sports fishing boats, and live fish) for 2 freshwater invasive bivalves (Corbicula fluminea and Limnoperna fortunei). For each of these potential vectors, we assess the potential for dispersal by estimating the probability of finding larvae or adults, setting groundwork for further studies on the risks of invasion to which the region is subject.
