Is Corophium Multisetosum Stock, 1952 an Exotic Invasive Species in Europe? Distribution, Habitat, and Recent Observations in the Netherlands

摘要: Corophium multisetosum Stock, 1952 has been found in several estuaries and water bodies Europe ranging from fresh brackish to salt water. The species appeared be distributed over a wide geographic range the Iberian Peninsula southern Baltic region is recently Mediterranean Gulf of Mexico, showing remarkable differences ecology between populations. recorded observations Netherlands, however, remained restricted few smaller waters, were published grey literature. Recently, observed variety waters southwestern part Netherlands appears relatively common. current study gives an overview recordings C. within its habitat preferences. recent on distribution preferences are compared with findings other parts Europe. Seeming discontinuities discussed. very flexible behaviour tolerate broad environmental conditions. Local conditions (e.g., salinity substrate) related communities (in particularly presence seemingly competing volutator (Pallas, 1766) Chelicorophium curvispinum (G. O. Sars, 1895)) determine local abundance system. As shows typical pattern many recordings, origin possible dispersal routes
