Impact ID Scientific Name Impact Type Study Type Study Location Impact Description Geographic Location Reference
3879 Dreissena bugensis Competition Anecdotal N/A Dreissena polymorpha & Dreissena bugensis directly compete for resources Great Lakes 13595
3880 Dreissena bugensis Competition Anecdotal N/A Sphaerium corneum & Dreissena bugensis directly compete for resources Great Lakes 13595
7390 Dreissena bugensis Competition Anecdotal N/A Dreissena bugensis have negative impacts on native bivalves through exploitative competition or biofouling. 42296
7404 Dreissena bugensis Competition Observational Field In some lakes, Dreissena bugensis outcompeted Dreissena polymorpha due to various reasons not yet fully understood. 42296
8229 Dreissena bugensis Competition Anecdotal N/A Declines in Diporeia spp., another benthic invertebrate, have been highly correlated with dreissenid expansion, potentially due to reductions in phytoplankton abundance (an important food source) or through the introduction of toxins and pathogens associated with dreissenids and their waste products Lake Michigan, USA 24624
8230 Dreissena bugensis Competition Observational Field Likely correlated to Dreissena bugensis and declining late winter phytoplankton blooms and chlorophyll a concentrations in Lake Michigan from 2001 to 2008, there was a reported decline in cyclopoid and omnivorous calanoid copepod populations over this period Lake Michigan, USA 24627
8231 Dreissena bugensis Competition Observational Field Spring phytoplankton biomass and primary production in Lake Michigan decreased 87% and 70%, respectively, from 1995-98 to 2007-08, after Dreissena bugensis entered Lake Michigan. This could result in increased competition among planktivorous species. Lake Michigan, USA 24624
8455 Dreissena bugensis Competition Observational Field In the Netherlands, invasive Dreissena bugensis out competed Dreissena polymorpha and completely replaced them. Netherlands 37111
