AbstractA review of original and published data on invasions of sibling species of Microtus from the group “arvalis” (East European vole, M. rossiaemeridionalis; common vole, M. arvalis; and Altai vole, M. obscurus) is given. Two stages of invasions differing in duration are established. These stages defined the formation of the modern ranges of these species and had an influence on evolutionary processes

Expansion of the Great Cormorant ( Phalacrocorax carbo L. 1758) to the Northwest of Russia as a Possibility of the Spread of Parasites Russ. J. Biol. Invasions Pub Date : 2020-04-01 G. A. Yakovleva; A. V. Artem’ev; D. I. Lebedeva
AbstractThe first data on the parasites of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) from the coast of Lake Ladoga are obtained. The parasite fauna of the great cormorant consists of five species: Cestoda (2 species), Trematoda (2 species), and Nematoda (1 species). Four species (Petasiger phalacrocoracis (Yamaguti, 1939), Petasiger radiatus (Dujardin, 1845), Paradilepis scolecina (Rudolphi, 1819)

Characteristics of Mitotic Chromosomes of Rapana venosa (Valenciennes, 1846) (Gastropoda, Muricidae) Russ. J. Biol. Invasions Pub Date : 2020-04-01 A. V. Pirkova
AbstractPredatory gastropod mollusk Rapana venosa (Valenciennes, 1846) was brought from the Sea of Japan to the Black Sea; it has spread in lots of areas of the World Ocean. The article presents a description of the karyotype in embryonic cells. There are 70 chromosomes in rapa whelk karyotype belonging to the following three morphological groups: metacentric (32), submetacentric (36), and subtelocentric

The Effect of Anoxia on the Content and Composition of Carotenoids in the Tissues of the Bivalve Invader Anadara kagoshimensis (Tokunaga, 1906) Russ. J. Biol. Invasions Pub Date : 2020-01-14 A. V. Borodina; A. A. Soldatov
AbstractThe work examined the influence of experimental anoxia on the content and qualitative composition of carotenoids in the tissues of the bivalve invader Anadara kagoshimensis (Tokunaga, 1906) under experimental conditions. The oxygen content in the water was reduced by nitrogen sparging for five hours. The exposure lasted three days. Tissue samples (gills, foot, and hepatopancreas) were collected

The Ability of Terrestrial Mollusks of Moscow Oblast to Feed on Invasive Species of the Genus Solidago (S. canadensis and S. gigantea ) Russ. J. Biol. Invasions Pub Date : 2020-01-14 E. N. Ustinova
AbstractInvasive species have to overcome the biotic resistance of the environment for successful distribution in the secondary range; this resistance can be effectively made by unspecialized phytophages. We carried out a series of laboratory experiments on studying the ability of generalist phytophages, such as terrestrial mollusks, to feed on invasive goldenrod species (Solidago canadensis L. and S

The Invasion of the American Rotifer Kellicottia bostoniensis (Rousselet, 1908) (Rotifera: Brachionidae) into Vygozersky Reservoir (Republic of Karelia, Russia) Russ. J. Biol. Invasions Pub Date : 2020-01-14 M. T. Syarki
AbstractThe American rotifer Kellicottia bostoniensis (Rousselet, 1908) has been found in the Vygozersky Reservoir, which is currently its northernmost habitat in Russia. The Vygozersky Reservoir is located at 63° N and belongs to the White Sea catchment basin. It is a part of the White Sea–Baltic Canal. The first single individual of K. bostoniensis was noted in July 2007. In the summer of 2011, the

First Record of Eustrongylides excisus (Dorylaimea: Dioctophymatidae) in Fish of the Rybinsk Reservoir Russ. J. Biol. Invasions Pub Date : 2020-01-14 A. E. Zhokhov; M. N. Pugacheva
AbstractThe data on the finding of Eustrongylides excisus in the Rybinsk Reservoir (Yaroslavl oblast, Russia) are presented. Larvae-IV were recorded in 2015 in ruff. The appearance of this nematode in the reservoir is associated with the expansion of the range of cormorant, its main definitive host. E. excisus is one more parasite species exhibiting northward expansion in the Volga Basin.

Downstream Migration of Juvenile Fish Associated with the Drift of Water Hyacinth ( Eichhornia crassipes ) Russ. J. Biol. Invasions Pub Date : 2020-01-14 V. K. Nezdoly; D. S. Pavlov
AbstractPassive downstream migration of juvenile fish associated with the invasive water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) was investigated in the delta of the Mekong River. The behavioral program of juveniles aimed at leaving the coastal attached vegetation and entering the transit flow for migration was the same in the case with drifting water hyacinth. In general, the passive downstream migration

On the Issue of Hybridogenic Origin of Bidens × decipiens Warnst. Russ. J. Biol. Invasions Pub Date : 2020-01-14 M. A. Galkina; Yu. K. Vinogradova
AbstractThe hybrid origin of the Bidens × decipiens species, which was earlier ascribed to the North American alien species B. connata, was confirmed by analyzing the nucleotide sequences of the ITS nuclear site. The name “B. connata” is indicated as invalid for a taxon that does not grow in North America. Earlier, we tested the hypothesis of hybrid origin of B. × decipiens using ISSR analysis and

Alien Species from the Brassicaceae Burnett Family in the Saline Ecotope Communities of Southeastern Europe Russ. J. Biol. Invasions Pub Date : 2020-01-14 N. A. Yuritsyna; V. M. Vasjukov
AbstractThe paper provides data on the invasion of alien species belonging to the Brassicaceae Burnett family into the plant communities of saline ecotopes in Southeastern Europe, including the data on the extent of their participation in the formation of cenoses, their distribution, and ecological characteristics of the species habitats. Only three representatives of the family were described in the

Development of Invasive Weeds Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. and A. trifida L. (Asteraceae) in Moscow Oblast Russ. J. Biol. Invasions Pub Date : 2020-01-14 S. E. Petrova
AbstractNew data on the structure of seedlings, juvenile, immature, virginal, and generative individuals of invasive species Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. and A. trifida L. and the time of their transition to different age stages in Moscow and Moscow oblast have been obtained. These data can help in recognition of plants at different stages of their ontogenesis in nature and in their timely control. It

Spreading of Alien Zooplankton Species of Ponto-Caspian Origin in the Reservoirs of the Volga and Kama Rivers Russ. J. Biol. Invasions Pub Date : 2020-01-14 V. I. Lazareva
AbstractZooplankton was studied in August 2015–2017 in eight reservoirs of the Volga River, in an unregulated part of the river between the cities of Volgograd and Astrakhan, and in three reservoirs of the Kama River. The Ponto-Caspian species were recorded in the Volga River downstream of the city of Kazan (south of 55°32′ N) and in the Kama River from the mouth to the upper reaches of the Kama Reservoir

Comparative Analysis of Predatory Behavior of Invasive Alien Dikerogammarus villosus (Sowinsky, 1894) and Native Gammarus varsoviensis Jazdzewski, 1975 Amphipods Russ. J. Biol. Invasions Pub Date : 2020-01-14 T. P. Lipinskaya; A. I. Makarenko
AbstractAlien species of amphipods were registered in Belarus in the early 2000s. Over many years of observing the structure of the riverine macrozoobenthos community, a decrease in the frequency of occurrence of indigenous amphipod species in the southern part of Belarus was noted. In order to find an explanation of the current process, a laboratory experiment was conducted to study the predatory
