Abstract

An assessment of the biotopic confinement of alien species is performed as a result of studies of macrozoobenthos in the reservoirs of the Volga and Kama cascades. A reliably significant dependence of the abundance of polychaetes Hypania invalida, mollusks Dreissena bugensis, and amphipods Dikerogammarus haemobaphes on the size fraction of the bottom sediments is revealed. The dependence of the distribution of invaders (representatives of different trophic groups) on the type of biotope is shown.
