Abstract
Abstract – The distribution of invasive Potamopyrgus antipodarum (New Zealand Mudsnail [NZM]) is relatively limited in eastern North America, with populations known in the Great Lakes basin and scattered locations in several Atlantic Slope drainages. Herein, we report the first documented occurrence of NZM in the Potomac River basin, based on collections at 2 adjacent sites in Falling Spring Branch, Franklin County, PA. We speculate the species was introduced into Falling Spring Branch via fishing gear from Susquehanna River basin tributaries in adjacent Cumberland County where there are documented NZM populations.
摘要-入侵性反足布草（新西兰泥蜗牛[NZM]）在北美东部的分布相对有限，已知种群分布在五大湖盆地，分布在几个大西洋斜坡流域。在此，我们根据宾夕法尼亚州富兰克林县Falling Spring Branch的两个相邻地点的采集，报告了波托马克河流域首次记录到的NZM的发生。我们推测，该物种是通过邻近坎伯兰县Susquehanna河流域支流的渔具引入Falling Spring Branch的，那里有记录到的新西兰M种群。
期刊介绍：
The Northeastern Naturalist covers all aspects of the natural history sciences of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and the environments of the northeastern portion of North America, roughly bounded from Virginia to Missouri, north to Minnesota and Nunavut, east to Newfoundland, and south back to Virginia. Manuscripts based on field studies outside of this region that provide information on species within this region may be considered at the Editor’s discretion.
The journal welcomes manuscripts based on observations and research focused on the biology of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and communities as it relates to their life histories and their function within, use of, and adaptation to the environment and the habitats in which they are found, as well as on the ecology and conservation of species and habitats. Such studies may encompass measurements, surveys, and/or experiments in the field, under lab conditions, or utilizing museum and herbarium specimens. Subject areas include, but are not limited to, anatomy, behavior, biogeography, biology, conservation, evolution, ecology, genetics, parasitology, physiology, population biology, and taxonomy. Strict lab, modeling, and simulation studies on natural history aspects of the region, without any field component, will be considered for publication as long as the research has direct and clear significance to field naturalists and the manuscript discusses these implications.
