Environmental DNA as a new method for early detection of New Zealand mudsnails (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) (2013, background): “Native fish eat mudsnails, but they assimilate very little energy from eating snails and suffer reduced growth rates (Vinson and Baker 2008).”
What explains the invading success of the aquatic mud snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Hydrobiidae, Mollusca)? (2008, background): “Finally, mud snails are also resistant to many native predators, because of its hard shell and solid operculum (Zaranko et al., 1997; Vinson & Baker, 2008).”
Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, background): “…vectors, such as fish, waterfowl or fishing tools, due to its ability to survive the passage through the digestive tract (in the case of fish) or to its air exposure tolerance (in the case of waterfowl or fishing tools) (Richards et al. 2004, Alonso and Castro-Díez 2008, Vinson and Baker 2008).”
