ResumoABSTRACT Colonization of two species of native gastropods, Campeloma crassulum (Viviparidae) and Pleurocera canaliculatum (Pleuroceratidae), by the exotic zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) was documented for the Mississippi River and Illinois River in Illinois. Wind- and boat-generated waves created windrowed deposits of these snails. Nearly all snails collected retained intact zebra mussels or evidence of mussel attachment.
