“…Given its more compatible climate, the River Amur basin is another potential source of S. woodiana in Europe (Watters, ), particularly given the well‐documented historical commercial links between that region and Eastern Europe (Watters, ). However, the region is home to populations of S. woodiana with distinctly different mitochondrial lineages to those in Europe (Bespalaya et al., ; Sayenko et al., ). Similarly, S. woodiana populations on the Korean Peninsula and from Japan are genetically distant from European populations (Vikhrev et al., ) and invasive populations of S. woodiana in south‐eastern Asia belong to a different mitochondrial haplogroup (“tropical invasive lineage A” sensu Vikhrev et al., ).…”

Understanding the invasive potential of species outside their native range is one of the most pressing questions in applied evolutionary and ecological research. Admixture of genotypes of invasive species from multiple sources has been implicated in successful invasions, by generating novel genetic combinations that facilitate rapid adaptation to new environments. Alternatively, adaptive evolution on standing genetic variation, exposed by phenotypic plasticity and selected by genetic accommodation, can facilitate invasion success. We investigated the population genetic structure of an Asian freshwater mussel with a parasitic dispersal stage, Sinanodonta woodiana, which has been present in Europe since 1979 but which has expanded rapidly in the last decade. Data from a mitochondrial marker and nuclear microsatellites have suggested that all European populations of S. woodiana originate from the River Yangtze basin in China. Only a single haplotype was detected in Europe, in contrast to substantial mitochondrial diversity in native Asian populations. Analysis of microsatellite markers indicated intensive gene flow and confirmed a lower genetic diversity of European populations compared to those from the Yangtze basin, though that difference was not large. Using an Approximate Bayesian Modelling approach, we identified two areas as the probable source of the spread of S. woodiana in Europe, which matched historical records for its establishment. Their populations originated from a single colonization event. Our data do not support alternative explanations for the rapid recent spread of S. woodiana; recent arrival of a novel (cold‐tolerant) genotype or continuous propagule pressure. Instead, in situ adaptation, facilitated by repeated admixture, appears to drive the ongoing expansion of S. woodiana. We discuss management consequences of our results.

“…The present study focused on European populations of S. woodiana , though the species has also invaded tropical Asia (1969), Central America (1982), the USA (2010), and Siberia (2016) (Bespalaya et al., ; Watters, ). One caveat of our study is that we have not included samples from regions other than from Europe and China.…”

“…Fish farms like the one at the Konin heated lake system are major stocking fish providers for Poland and elsewhere, and thus the S. woodiana populations established there have been constantly sampled and introduced to various environments, providing a long‐term and large‐spatial‐scale experiment in evolutionary adaptation. The Konin heated lake system is one of many thermally polluted water bodies inhabited by S. woodiana (e.g., Bespalaya et al, ; Bódis et al, ; Krolak et al, ; Szlauer‐Łukaszewska, Andrzejewski, Giersztal, & Urbańska, ), and those habitats, given their broad range of temperature gradients, are the most probable hotspots of local adaptation. As they are in direct hydrological connection with natural ecosystems, this can have severe consequences for the expansion of new, cold‐adapted lineages (Morais & Reichard, ).…”

“…S. woodiana is a large‐bodied, long‐lived bivalve belonging to the order Unionoida. Native to East Asia, it has spread to Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore (Bolotov et al, ; Vikhrev et al, ; Zieritz et al, ; Zieritz, Bogan, Rahim, et al, ; Zieritz, Bogan, Froufe, et al, ), Costa Rica, Hispaniola, Dominican Republic, United States of America (Bogan, Bowers‐Altman, & Raley, ; Watters, ), Siberia (Bespalaya et al, ), and Uzbekistan (Kondakov et al, ), and has also invaded Europe. The genetic line involved originated from the Yangtze River basin (Kondakov et al, ; Konečný et al, ).…”

“…In Poland, some major fish farms take advantage of cooling water effluents, and it is here that occurrences of S. woodiana are found (Domagała, Łabęcka, Migdalska, & Pilecka‐Rapacz, ; Kraszewski & Zdanowski, ). In artificially heated lakes, the species shows a preference for high‐temperature habitats (Kraszewski & Zdanowski, ), and in rivers with point thermal pollution it occurs exclusively (Bespalaya et al, ; Krolak, Lewandowski, & Kasprzykowski, ) or predominantly (Bódis, Tóth, & Sousa, ) at heated water effluents. In the natural range of the species, the seasonality of sexual maturation implies cold as a limiting factor in reproduction (Dudgeon & Morton, ).…”

The explosive global spread of Sinadonta woodiana, a large‐bodied unionid mussel of East Asian origin, potentially affects the functioning of freshwater habitats and threatens native mussels. Molecular data indicate that its invasion in Europe started with a single colonization event, followed by in situ adaptation. This study traces one of the possible routes of such adaptation. It documents a population of S. woodiana with a known history of a two‐stage introduction: first, from a heated water source to a production fish pond in northern Poland, and subsequently from that pond to the study site. As the latest local transfer occurred more than 15 years before the study, the abundance of young S. woodiana in various age classes provides proof of ongoing in situ reproduction and resolves the question of the ability of S. woodiana to permanently colonize thermally unpolluted water bodies in areas with prolonged and cold winters. The study also shows that translocations of glochidia‐infested fish and/or adult mussels between water bodies in such areas result in the establishment of new self‐recruiting populations. Together, these findings show that further expansion of S. woodiana into colder regions and establishment of new populations in already invaded areas are to be expected. The relative abundance of S. woodiana and the native unionids: Anodonta anatina and A. cygnea was 40%, 18%, and 42%, respectively. S. woodiana contributed to 65% of the total mussel biomass. Individuals in the first three size classes, corresponding to the 2‐ to 4 year age classes, composed 50% of S. woodiana, 37% of A. anatina, and 26% of A. cygnea. The high proportion of young individuals in S. woodiana indicates population trajectories toward a gradually increasing dominance of this species and possibly reflects its negative impacts via interactions with host fish and competition for resources.
