An invasive species reverses the roles in a host-parasite relationship between bitterling fish and unionid mussels

Original language description

Impact of multiple invading species can be magnified due to mutual facilitation, termed ?invasional meltdown?, but invasive species can also be adversely affected by their interactions with other invaders. Using a unique between reciprocal host-parasiterelationship between a bitterling fish, Rhodeus amarus, and unionid mussels, we show that an invasive mussel reverses the roles in the relationship. Bitterling lay their eggs into mussel gills and mussel larvae can parasitize fish. Bitterling colonized Europe recently, parasitize all sympatric European mussels, but is unable to utilize a recently invasive mussel, Anodonta woodiana. Moreover, the parasitic larvae of A. woodiana successfully develop on R. amarus, while larvae of European mussels are rejected by bitterling. This demonstrates that invading species may temporarily benefit from a coevolutionary lag by exploiting evolutionarily naive hosts, but the resulting relaxed selection may subsequently facilitate its exploitation by sub
