Citations in the corpus

• Growth rate, condition, and shell shape of Mytilus galloprovincialis: responses to wave exposure (2003, background): “Intense wave action imposes high hydrodynamic forces on mussels and puts them at risk of dislodge- ment and damage to their shells (Paine & Levin 1981, Denny 1987).”
• HABITAT CHOICE AND FEEDING ACTIVITY OF BENTHIC SUSPENSION FEEDERS AND MESOGRAZERS IN THE NORTHERN BALTIC SEA (2004, background): “The vertical mixing of the water column increases the amount of available food and promotes the filtration activity of mussels (Dolmer, 2000; Newell et al., 2001).”
• Effects of mussel filtering activity on boundary layer structure (2006, background): “Mussel filtration activity is also clearly influenced by food availability (Riisgård, 1991; Newell et al., 2001; Widdows et al., 2002).”
• An environmental 1H NMR metabolomic study of the exposure of the marine mussel Mytilus edulis to atrazine, lindane, hypoxia and starvation (2009, background): “There are indications that valve opening is also reduced when there is a low concentration of food suspended in the water column (Kramer et al. 1989; Newell et al. 2001 ).”
• Spatial patterns of growth in the mussel, Mytilus californianus, across a major oceanographic and biogeographic boundary at Point Conception, California, USA (2007, background): “Furthermore, at very high water velocities the filtration rate of bivalves is inhibited by hydrodynamic effects on the functioning of the bivalve pump (Wildish et al., 1992; Wildish and Saulnier, 1992; Newell and Wildish, 1997; Newell et al., 2001).”
