Community and foodweb ecology of freshwater mussels (2008, background): “For example, aggregations of marine bivalves (i.e., mussel beds, oyster reefs) control production, nutrient cycling, and invertebrate species composition and abundance (Dame 1996), and zebra mussels have similar effects in freshwater ecosystems (Strayer et al. 1999, Caraco et al. 2006).”
Modeling the growth response of Cladophora in a Laurentian Great Lake to the exotic invader Dreissena and to lake warming (2008, background): “Other studies have similarly demonstrated that other adverse effects of nutrient enrichment, such as the frequency of (potentially toxic) cyanobacterial blooms, are not ameliorated, and perhaps even amplified, by the addition of benthic filter-feeders (Sarnelle et al. 2005; Caraco et al. 2006).”
Twenty years of zebra mussels: lessons from the mollusk that made headlines (2009, background): “Populations of phytoplankton and small zooplankton fell, often by > 50%, sometimes with subsequent irruptions of inedible or toxic phytoplankton (Vanderploeg et al. 2001; Effler et al. 2004; Raikow et al. 2004; Caraco et al. 2006).”
Effects of zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) on native bivalves: the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning? (2007, background): “Phytoplankton biomass did not recover (Caraco et al. 2006), nor were there obvious changes in phytoplankton composition in 2000–2003 (Hazzard et al. 2006) that would be easy to link to the recovery in bivalve populations.”
Alien species in fresh waters: ecological effects, interactions with other stressors, and prospects for the future (2010, background): “In another striking example, the establishment of a large population of zebra mussels in the Hudson River caused phytoplankton biomass to fall by 80% (Caraco et al., 2006), and led to a catastrophic decline of all native bivalves in the first years (1992–1999) of the invasion (Fig.”
Why are diverse relationships observed between phytoplankton biomass and transport time? (2009, methodology): “With a setup similar to that of Strayer et al. (1999) but with transport and loss time scales normalized by the growth time scale, our conceptual model plot shows that those control domain boundaries are defined by t loss 5 1, t tran 5 1, and t loss 5 t tran (Fig.”
Significant ecosystem-wide effects of the swiftly spreading invasive freshwater bivalve Limnoperna fortunei (2009, background): “…enhancement of nutrient cycling, resulting in secondary and tertiary effects, like the increase of water transparency and the growth of submerged macrophytes (Phelps, 1994; Mellina et al., 1995; Caraco et al., 1997, 2006; Strayer et al., 1999; Vanderploeg et al., 2002; Hecky et al., 2004).”
