1 Recreational Boater Movement in California and Nevada and Implications for Dreissenid Mussel Introduction to Inland Water Bodies October 21 22, 2010 Sacramento, CA Marion Wittmann, Ph.D.

3 bombardment of every country by foreign species, brought accidentally or on purpose, by vessel and by air and also overland from that used to be isolated Elton 1958

5 Long distance dispersal events greatly increase the speed of invasions, the expansion of ranges Skellam 1951, Hengeveld 1989, Shigesada et al Sharov and Liebhold 1998

6 Known Dispersal Vectors Boats (recreational, commercial) Fishing equipment (creels, boots, lures) Waterway connections (rivers, canals, currents) Waterfowl Aquarium or ornamental release

7 U. S. Spatial boating statistics: Top Five Boating States And Nevada! State State Area (sq. mi.) Number of Registered Boats 1 (2005 Ranking) Statewide Population Boats per capita Approximate number of boat able inland water bodies 2 Boat Ramps Boat ramp per registered boat Number of boat able water bodies per registered boat Florida 65, ,859 (1) 18,089, , California 163, ,758 (2) 36,457, Michigan 96, ,138 (3) 10,095, , Minnesota 86, ,489 (4) 5,167, , Wisconsin 65, ,198 (5) 5,556, , Nevada 110,567 57,726 (40) 2,495, [1] National Marine Manufacturer s Association U.S. Recreational Boat Registration Statistics.

12 A gravity model is a transportation model that is used to estimate the volume of traffic moving between places: It is based on distance and the attractiveness of a destination K U j i 1 AOW i i j d ij Thomas and Huggett, 1980

13 + Linking Spiny Waterflea (Bythotrephes longimanus) invasion with Gravity Models MacIssac et al. 2004, Ecological Applications

14 So, how does the estimation of distance impact the gravity model? U j K i 1 AOW i i j d ij

15 In the midwest, use a power distribution Because of the western landscape we have to think about this differently

16 Depending on how you incorporate distance into the model, the prediction of risk changes We have to not only think about lakes that are close to us, but lakes that are farther away too! T ij (Power) Bimodal, R 2 = 0.91, p < 0.01 Power, R 2 = 0.53, p < 0.01 T ij (Bimodal)

17 Boater attraction: What motivates a boater to drive hundreds of kilometers!? U j K i 1 A O W i i j d ij

24 Conclusions Be careful how you analyze your data Boater databases can help to estimate high probability connectivity between waterways but may not include low probability, long distance dispersers These events drive invasion speeds With some species, it just takes one! Recreational boaters are willing to travel for a variety of reasons to use waterways including distance, amenities and resource quality A precautionary approach toward invasive species management and prevention provides the highest probability of delaying or avoiding an introduction of an unwanted AIS
