Macroinvertebrate instream flow studies after 20 years: A role in stream management and restoration (2001, background): “…freshwater mussel species and populations, and should be considered in mussel conservation (Layzer et al., 1993; Chesney and Oliver, 1998; Killeen et al., 1998; Hughes and Parmalee, 1999; Cosgrove et al., 2000), we restrict our discussion here to the influence of hydraulics on mussel populations.”
Habitat degradation and the decline of the threatened mussel Margaritifera margaritifera: influence of turbidity and sedimentation on the mussel and its host. (2010, methodology): “Based on the classification by Young, Hastie & al-Mousawi 2001; the four streams with recent recruitment appear to be viable, functional populations (Cosgrove et al. 2000).”
Physical microhabitat requirements of freshwater pearl mussels, Margaritifera margaritifera (L.) (2000, background): “One of the factors implicated in this decline has been the physical destruction and degradation of suitable river bed habitats (Cosgrove et al., 2000).”
Freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) glochidiosis in wild and farmed salmonid stocks in Scotland (2001, background): “The small numbers of glochidia recorded in the Moidart and Tay samples are probably due to the low mussel densities at these sites (Table 1).”
