The case of naturalization of the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas, 1771), in countries lying beyond its native Ponto–Caspian range is remarkable as one of the first instances when the scientific community as early as the mid-19th century was fully aware of the non-indigenous status of a particular species as well as of the need for the study and monitoring of this process. Based on a study of contemporary sources, I reconstruct the early response of European naturalists (including those who today would be called “citizen scientist”) to the invasion of Dreissena and describe their attitudes to the problem, including the divergence in opinion about the origin and the means of dispersal of this bivalve species. An analysis of papers published in English, French, German, and Russian between 1774 and 1920 showed that the invasion of D. polymorpha was by no means “silent”; quite the opposite, it provoked an immediate reaction from naturalists. The scientific agenda for the study of the new invader was proposed in England as early as 1838.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Not a silent invasion: the reaction of European naturalists to the spread of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) in the 19th-early 20th Century","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"zebra mussel; dispersal; natural history; citizen science; invasion ecology; history of zoology","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2023,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2024-01-02","DateCreate":"2024-01-02","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:001132826600001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.3390/d15121203"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":380434,"PubliDate":2023,"Pagination":"1203","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"15","Issue":"12","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":239468,"SerRR":"Diversity.
