Biological invasions are the dispersal and following establishment of species outside their native habitat. Due to globalisation, connectivity of regions and climate changes the number of invasive species and their successful establishment is rising. The impact of these species is mostly negative, can induce community and habitat alterations, and is one main cause for biodiversity loss. This impact is particularly high and less researched in aquatic systems and microbial organisms and despite the high impact, the knowledge about overall mechanisms and specific factors affecting invasions are not fully understood. In general, the characteristics of the habitat, native community and invader determine the invasiveness. In this thesis, I aimed to provide a better understanding of aquatic invasions focusing on the invader and its traits and identity. This thesis used a set of 12 strains of the invasive cyanobacterium 〈i〉Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii〈/i〉 to examine the effect and impact of the invaders’ identity and genetic diversity.…
