Herbivore resistance in inavasive and native Myriophyllum spicatum and Myriophyllum heterophyllum
… and invasive samples of the aquatic angiosperms, Myriophyllum spicatum and Myriophyllum heterophyllum. M. spicatum is native in Europe, Asia and north Africa and invasive in much of North America. When fed on by the ecologically significant herbivore, Acentria ephemerella, M. spicatum plant tips …

Establishment and Competitive Ability of Nelumbo Lutea in Relation to Myriophyllum Spicatum
… 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 m depths. Nelumbo lutea and Myriophyllum spicatum populations were monitored for one season in a 0.7 ha pond to track changes in species dominance. Myriophyllum spicatum dominated early, and N. lutea dominated from July through October, suppressing M. spicatum at all depths. …

Interactions Among Invasive Species in Lakes: a Mesocosm Experiment
… georgianus, BMS), and Eurasian water-milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum, EWM), species that commonly co-occur. All three of these species can be very abundant and two (EWM and RC) are known to be individually damaging. The current study evaluated the impacts and interactions between these three …

Trophic Interactions And The Efficacy Of Milfoil Weevils For Biocontrol Of Eurasian Watermilfoil In Wisconsin Lakes
<p>Eurasian water-milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L., henceforth “EWM”) is the most heavily managed nuisance submersed aquatic plant in the United States. EWM’s rapid spring growth and formation of dense surface mats inhibits native macrophyte communities, serves as poor-quality habitat for fish and …

Investigating the distribution of Nitellopsis obtusa in Ontario Lakes and its role as an ecosystem engineer
… associations with other macrophyte taxa such as Myriophyllum spicatum. In combination, these findings indicate that N. obtusa may be an ecosystem engineer in invaded lakes by affecting key lake elements and altering community composition throughout the LAFW community.
