Microcondylaea bonellii, un nouvel hôte pour la bouvière Rhodeus amarus. Nous signalons pour la première fois que la moule d'eau douce Microcondylaea bonellii (Férussac, 1827) sert d'hôte à la bouvière Rhodeus amarus (Bloch, 1782). Étant donné l'expansion récente de R. amarus en Europe, le coût physiologique possible de cette interaction (par exemple la compétition pour l'oxygène, la réduction de la circulation de l'eau et l'altération conséquente de l'alimentation par filtration) pourrait affecter davantage le statut de conservation déjà mauvais des populations de M. bonellii.
We report for the first time that the freshwater mussel Microcondylaea bonellii (Férussac, 1827) functions as a suitable host for the European bitterling Rhodeus amarus (Bloch, 1782). Given the recent expansion of R. amarus in Europe, the possible physiological cost (e.g. competition for oxygen, reduction in water circulation, and consequent impairment of filter-feeding) of this interaction may further affect the already poor conservation status of M. bonellii populations.

Abstract
We report for the first time that the freshwater mussel Microcondylaea bonellii (Férussac, 1827) functions as a suitable host for the European bitterling Rhodeus amarus (Bloch, 1782). Given the recent expansion of R. amarus in Europe, the possible physiological cost (e.g. competition for oxygen, reduction in water circulation, and consequent impairment of filter-feeding) of this interaction may further affect the already poor conservation status of M. bonellii populations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
