Periphyton growth on allochthonous input in streams may lead to higher individual growth rates of the invasive New Zealand mud snail (<em>Potamopyrgus antipodarum</em>)
The aquatic, invasive New Zealand mud snail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) exploits a variety of food sources. Here we examine the change in growth of snails that fed on periphyton colonizing leaf litter, wood, rock, and a control. Juveniles were grown in the lab on Spirulina algae powder (control) or...
