2035 Potamopyrgus antipodarum Habitat Alteration Observational Field The dense colonization of Potamopyrgus antipodarum in streams has been linked to the decline in native macroinvertebrate densities. 17665
2036 Potamopyrgus antipodarum Habitat Alteration Experimental Field Dense colonizations of Potamopyrgus antipodarium have been positively correlated with density and species richness of native invertebrates, possibly due to the snails' waste providing an additional food source. 22919
2045 Potamopyrgus antipodarum Habitat Alteration Experimental Field Potamopyrgus antipodarum consumes more periphyton than co-occurring native snails with similar diets. 24682
2048 Potamopyrgus antipodarum Habitat Alteration Observational Field Potamopyrgus antipodarum has become the most common snail present in areas of the Snake River, and the dominant gastropod species in many habitat types. 9286
2050 Potamopyrgus antipodarum Habitat Alteration Anecdotal N/A The presence of Potamopyrgus antipodarum may increase CO2 levels as the animal precipitates calcium carbonate for shell production. 16089
2055 Potamopyrgus antipodarum Habitat Alteration Observational Field In the Mont Saint-Michel Bay system of France, Potamopyrgus antipodarum altered the gastropod richness, making up over 80% of gastropods. 15798

8315 Potamopyrgus antipodarum Habitat Alteration Observational Field New Zealand mudsnail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) also appeared to play a large role in nitrogen cycling through extensive ammonium excretion. Polecat Creek, Wyoming, USA 24671
8316 Potamopyrgus antipodarum Habitat Alteration Observational Field The New Zealand mudsnail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) altered the composition of the periphyton community in a high-productivity stream over a short time period through selective feeding. 24662
9242 Potamopyrgus antipodarum Habitat Alteration Anecdotal N/A Potamopyrgus antipodarum can alter aquatic ecosystems by consuming large portions of the food resources. 42717
