A perspective on global spread of Dreissena polymorpha: a review on possibilities and limitations

The zebra mussel is a successful invasive freshwater bivalve that has colonised large parts of Europe and North America. Since in most cases its arrival has had severe economic and ecological consequences, attempts have been made to predict the further spread of the zebra mussel within Europe and especially North America.
The aim of this study was to determine the possibilities and limitations for a global range expansion of the zebra mussel based on its biology, ecology and physiology.
