Trophic connections in Lake Superior Part I: The offshore fish community (2011, background): “In contrast to our findings, lake whitefish diets post-dreissenid invasion have become dominated by bivalves (sphaeriid and dreissenid), gastropods, chironomids, and Diporeia (when present) (Pothoven and Madenjian, 2008).”
What a difference a species makes: a meta–analysis of dreissenid mussel impacts on freshwater ecosystems (2010, background): “Declines in Diporeia were associated with declines in the body condition and growth of lake whitefish in Lake Michigan (Pothoven et al. 2001, Pothoven and Madenjian 2008), Lake Ontario (Hoyle et al. 2008), and Lake Huron (Rennie et al. 2009).”
Changes in the Lake Michigan food web following dreissenid mussel invasions: A synthesis (2015, background): “…whitefish in Lake Michigan was predominantly Diporeia and M. diluviana, but the diet underwent substantial changes after the dreissenid mussel invasions, with much of the Diporeia component being replaced by dreissenid mussels during the late 1990s and early 2000s (Pothoven and Madenjian, 2008).”
