The discovery of a second dreissenid species, the quagga mussel, in the Great Lakes in 1991 prompted a search for its identity. We have identified the North American quagga mussel as Dreissena bugensis Andrusov on the basis of allozyme data and morphological characters. Further, a phenotypically distinct form of the quagga mussel found in Lakes Erie and Ontario also matches the electrophoretic profiles of the typical Lake Ontario quagga and European D. bugensis. We confirm that the white "profunda" mussel found in the deep waters of Lake Erie is a phenotype of the quagga mussel, and we conclude that the quagga mussel is D. bugensis which has been introduced from the Black Sea drainage of Ukraine.

A review of systematic literature and examination of type material of Dreissena (Paleontological institute, Moscow) revealed that the quagga mussel corresponds to the original description and type specimens of Dreissena bugensis Andrusov, 1897. Russian classifications have treated D. bugensis as a full species or as a subspecies of D. rostriformis Deshayes, 1838. Dreissena rostriformis is the type species of the subgenus Pontodreissena. Dreissena rostriformis rostriformis is regarded as extinct, with two lineages derived from it still living: Dreissena bugensis, in the Dnieper and Bug rivers and the estuary where they enter the Black Sea, and D. rostriformis grimmi, in the southern Caspian Sea. These lineages differ in morphology, coloration, maximum adult size, and salinity tolerance and are therefore regarded as separate species. We adopt the name Dreissena (Pontodreissena) bugensis for the quagga mussel and designate and illustrate lectotypes for D. bugensis and other dreissenid taxa named by Andrusov. Including D. rostriformis and D. bugensis, seven living species of Dreissena are currently recognized. The nomenclatural histories of these species are summarized and the supraspecific classification of dreissenids is reviewed.

Upper Thermal Limit

The quagga mussel (Dreissena bugensis) and the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) were exposed to varied levels of salinity and temperature in the laboratory to compare the tolerance of each species to environmental stress. The zebra mussel could tolerate 30 °C for extended periods and higher temperatures (< 39 °C) for a period of hours depending on the acclimation temperature and the rate of temperature change. The upper thermal limit of the quagga mussel may be as low as 25 °C. Mussels of both species acclimated to 5 °C were less able to survive at high temperatures (30–39 °C) than mussels acclimated to 15 or 20 °C. The reduced upper temperature limit of the quagga mussel implies that it will not be able to expand as far south in North America as has the zebra mussel. Both D. bugensis and D. polymorpha were exposed to three concentrations of NaCl (5, 10, and 20‰) to test salinity tolerance. No individuals of either species survived beyond 18 days in salinities of 5‰ or higher. No interspecific difference occurred in salinity-induced mortality rate.

Dreissenid Mussel

The discovery of a morphologically distinct dreissenid mussel in the profundal zone of Lake Erie suggests the presence of either a third dreissenid mussel species in the Great Lakes or a previously unknown morphological phenotype of an existing dreissenid species. We examined the morphometrics and molecular systematics of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) and the profundal and epilimnetic forms of the quagga mussel (Dreissena bugensis) from Lakes Erie and Ontario. In an attempt to resolve the taxonomic status of the profundal form of the quagga mussel, we sequenced a 710 base pair fragment of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I mitochondrial gene of the two forms of the quagga mussel. No nucleotide differences were found, supporting the hypothesis that the profundal form of the quagga mussel is a phenotype of D. bugensis, not a separate species. In contrast, the second and third principal component scores from an analysis of the morphological variables shell length, shell width, shell height, and shell mass separated the epilimnetic and profundal forms of the quagga mussel into two groups, but grouped zebra mussels from all depths together. The most parsimonious explanation for our results is that D. bugensis shows plasticity in shell morphology with respect to depth, whereas D. polymorpha does not.
