Impact DescriptionStable isotope ratios demonstrate that C. fluminea occupies a larger trophic niche space and has lower trophic fidelity than (native) E. crassidens . This leads authors to speculate that the non-native ingests some of the same materials as native species, but has the ability to assimilate a broader range of food resources and are flexible to take advantage of available resources.
