“…Beyond the first intermediate host, other factors could explain infection heterogeneity. Cockles from different sites could display different resistance patterns as observed with other bivalves (Bryan-Walker et al 2007, Paul-Pont et al 2010a. However, there is strong evidence that the larval dispersion pattern of cockles results in individuals from the same genetic pool in the whole area (G. Bachelet unpubl.…”

“…Indeed, at the small spatial scale (cm to m), free-living species community structure can result from microhabitat heterogeneity and biotic interactions (Tanaka & Leite 2003). With parasites, the habitat may appear very similar at the small scale (1 host individual compared to a neighbouring host individual of the same species) but we can expect heterogeneity due to what we term 'intrinsic factors', such as immune system variability among individuals (Paul-Pont et al 2010a).…”

We studied the spatial heterogeneity of infection of the marine bivalve Cerastoderma edule (cockle) by trematode parasites at 5 different scales in Banc d'Arguin, France. At the km-scale, the communities of trematodes differed among stations in terms of species composition and specific abundance. Infection heterogeneity was likely due to the occurrence of the definitive host and the conditions of transmission (water parameters). At the 100 m scale, trematode species richness was similar among stations, but specific trematode abundances differed. The most significant variable in terms of explaining trematode infection heterogeneity was the presence of the first intermediate host.At the 10 m scale, the distance at which parasite abundance diminished varied according to trematode species. When an intense source of trematode larvae (cercariae) emission was suspected, this abundance was maintained within ca. 20 m. Outside this area, parasite abundance progressively dropped. We found a higher aggregation in parasite distribution at the 100 m scale than at the 10 m scale using a community aggregation measure. At the cm-scale, the parasite species richness was similar in all cockles but parasite abundance differed in relation to distance when the parasites were shed by a sedentary host compared to a motile host. Observed differences of infection could also be due to intrinsic factors (life history, immune system) as suggested by an experimental infestation where cockles challenged in similar conditions displayed different parasite loads. We demonstrated that high heterogeneity of parasite infection in cockles should be taken into account in studies concerning the role of parasites in ecosystems.

“…The chronic exposure of animals to trace metals can considerably affect their physiological and biochemical responses, leading to increased tolerance to chronic contamination [60]. This adaptation ability was observed in different acquatic species, such as the bivalves R. philippinarum [61], and Macoma balthica [62], and the isopod Platynympha longicaudata [63].…”

Long-term variations of ecological status in a Mediterranean coastal lagoon (Sacca di Goro, Northern Adriatic) were investigated, combining data on the concentration of surface sediment contaminants and on the structure of the macrobenthic community. The aim was to assess any amount of chemical contamination and check the response of the macrobenthic community to sediment contamination. Over the studied period, the sediments of the lagoon showed contamination by trace metals and organochlorine pesticides, with most of them exceeding the thresholds indicated by the Italian legislation in many samples. Contamination by polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) instead never exceeded the threshold. The ecological status based on the macrobenthic community, evaluated through biotic indices (AMBI and M-AMBI), fell below the Good/Moderate threshold in most samples. The results indicate a possible influence of toxic compounds in sediment on benthic organisms, but most of the variability shown by the macrobenthic community is probably due to other factors. The difficulty in establishing a cause/effect relationship was due to the co-occurrence and variability of various stressors (both natural and anthropogenic) and their interactions. The methods currently used for monitoring transitional waters thus seem insufficient to disentangle the effect of pollutants and other environmental variables on the benthos. Integrated approaches (e.g., bioaccumulation and toxicity tests) are thus needed for a more precise identification of the risk posed by a high concentration of pollutants in such environments.

“…Evidence for copper tolerance adaptation in invasive fouling species comes from two bryozoans, B. neritina and Watersipora subtorquata, and the tunicate Styela plicata (Piola and Johnston 2006;Galletly et al 2007;McKenzie et al 2011McKenzie et al , 2012. Outside of the fouling community, different performance in high-pollution conditions has been recorded for high-and low-pollution populations of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite, the clam Venerupis philippinarum, and the snail L. saxatilis (Daka and Hawkins 2004;Paul-Pont et al 2010;Romano et al 2010).…”

“…In addition, differences in larval salinity tolerance have been documented between native and invasive population of the mud crab R. harrisii (Laughlin and French Table 1 for studies). Different resistance to parasitism has been observed between invasive populations of V. philippinarum (Paul-Pont et al 2010), and the copepod Acartia tonsa has shown divergence in response to hypoxia (Decker et al 2003). The alga Asparagopsis armata has shown morphological differences in its native range along gradients of light (Monro and Poore 2009).…”

Adaptation in marine invasion: a genetic perspective

Genetic adaptation-heritable changes that alter an organism's performance-may facilitate invasion at several scales, but is seldom considered in predicting and managing marine invasions. However, a growing body of research-largely based on emerging genetic approaches-suggests that adaptation is possible and potentially widespread in the marine realm. Here, I review evidence for adaptation in marine invasion, considering both quantitative and genetic studies. Quantitative studies, which consider trait-based differences between populations or individuals without directly examining genetic makeup, have suggested local adaptation in several high-profile species. This implies that invasion risk may not be constant from population to population within a species, a key assumption of most invasion models. However, in many quantitative studies, the effects of heritable adaptive changes may be confounded with the effects of plasticity. Molecular approaches can help disentangle these effects, and studies at the genomic level are beginning to elucidate the specific genetic patterns and pathways underlying adaptation in invasion. While studies at this scale are currently rare in the marine invasion literature, they are likely to become increasingly prevalent-and useful-now that next-generation sequencing approaches have become tractable in non-model systems. Both traditional and emerging genetic approaches can improve our understanding of adaptation in marine invasions, and can aid managers in making accurate predictions of invasion spread and risk.
