Investigating the effects of dreissenid mussel shells in streams post-invasion
The ecological impact of dreissenid mussel (e.g., quagga and zebra) populations and their empty shells on native fauna in large rivers and lakes has...
-
Can big data inform invasive dreissenid mussel risk assessments of habitat suitability?
Invasion risk assessments of habitat suitability provide insight on early detection effort allocation; however, sufficient data are rarely available...
-
Improved methods for understanding the role of predation on dreissenid population dynamics
Impacts of dreissenid mussels ( Dreissena spp.) on Great Lakes ecosystems are well documented, and a better understanding of mechanisms that cause...

Dreissena in large lakes: long-term population dynamics and population assessment using conventional methods and videography
Strong ecological and economic impacts of zebra and quagga mussels ( Dreissena polymorpha and D. rostriformis bugensis ) on the invaded waterbodies...

Evidence for the importance of invasive Dreissena veligers as a novel prey item for larval fish in Lake Huron
The establishment of invasive dreissenid mussels Dreissena polymorpha and Dreissena rostriformis bugensis in the Laurentian Great Lakes has affected...

Could quagga mussels impact offshore benthic community and surface sediment-bound nutrients in the Laurentian Great Lakes?
Dreissenids have greatly altered ecosystem function within the Great Lakes, but their effects on offshore surface sediments and infaunal communities...
-
Artificial intelligence applied to big data reveals that lake invasions are predicted by human traffic and co-occurring invasions
Preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species is an important management action. Identifying the characteristics of lakes that are susceptible to...

Demographic patterns of quagga mussel invasion into Lake Michigan profundal zone
Although the invasion dynamics and establishment of quagga mussels ( Dreissena rostriformis bugensis ) into the nearshore areas of north-temperate...

Planktonic larvae of the invasive bivalves Dreissena spp. and Limnoperna fortunei: review of their effects on freshwater communities
Dreissena polymorpha , Dreissena rostriformis bugensis , and Limnoperna fortunei are considered among the most invasive freshwater mussels. The three...

Features of Spatial Distribution of Alien Mollusks of the Genus Dreissena in a Large Tributary of the Reservoir of the Middle Volga (by the Example of the Sviyaga River)
AbstractInvasions of alien species of mollusks are of great interest as a result of their serious environmental and economic consequences. We present...

Biological effects of water velocity and other hydrodynamic characteristics of flow on dreissenid mussels
The invasion of dreissenid mussels into inland waters of the Northern Hemisphere has received considerable attention and, both zebra mussels and...

Identifying the influence of zebra and quagga mussels on sedimentary phosphorus dynamics in western Lake Erie
Dreissenid mussels can alter nutrient cycling and algal productivity in many freshwater ecosystems. But their effects on sedimentary phosphorus...
-
Rapid assessment of Dreissena population in Lake Erie using underwater videography
Dreissenid bivalves ( Dreissena polymorpha and D. rostriformis bugensis ) are considered the most aggressive freshwater invaders inflicting profound...

Lake morphometry determines Dreissena invasion dynamics
Predicting the ecosystem effects of invasive species and the best control strategies requires understanding population dynamics and population...

Variable Tissue Stoichiometry Influences Nutrient Recycling by Invasive Freshwater Mussels in Nutrient-Poor Lakes
Animal excretion provides nutrients for primary productivity and can be a crucial component of ecosystem nutrient cycling. The concentrations of...
-
Dreissenids’ breaking loose: differential attachment as a possible driver of the dominance shift between two invasive mussel species
Ponto-Caspian dreissenids are notorious freshwater invaders. Recently, widespread observations show a dominance shift from the early invader, Dreissena...
-
Time Scales of Ecosystem Impacts and Recovery Under Individual and Serial Invasions
The impacts of species invasions can subside over time as ecosystems ‘adapt’ and invaders decline or increase over time as additional species invade....
-
Ponto-Caspian amphipod co-location with zebra mussel beds (Dreissena polymorpha) is influenced by substrate size and population source
The global spread of non-native species is leading to an increasing frequency of multiple co-occurring non-native species. We examined the...

Physiological effects of interacting native and invasive bivalves under thermal stress
Across many ecosystems in North America and Europe, native freshwater bivalves (Order Unionida) are threatened by fouling and competition for food by...

Dreissena in the Great Lakes: what have we learned in 30 years of invasion
We summarized over 30 years of research on zebra and quagga mussels in the Laurentian Great Lakes and compared with data from European and North...
