Salinity shapes zooplankton communities and functional diversity and has complex effects on size structure in lakes (2018, background): “More diverse functional groups and wider size structures may promote more complex and balanced trophic structures, more productive systems, and more resistant communities under extreme environmental variations (Vandermeer et al., 1998; Vaughn, 2010; Flöder & Hillebrand, 2012).”
Biogeochemical hotspots: temporal and spatial scaling of the impact of freshwater mussels on ecosystem function (2015, neutral): “Although mussels typically have been considered to belong to one functional group (filter-feeding bivalves), recent work shows that species have unique traits ranging from overall size and shell morphology to growth rates and gill structure (Vaughn, 2010; Haag, 2012).”
Functional diversity: a review of methodology and current knowledge in freshwater macroinvertebrate research (2016, background): “In particular , the link between ecosystem functioning and biodiversity depends on a cascade effect among species' dominance and identity, the existence of positive interactions among species, sequence of species loss, species traits and the environmental context (e.g. Vaughn, 2010).”
Life history traits and abundance can predict local colonisation and extinction rates of freshwater mussels (2012, background): “…requirements of mussels are complex and not completely understood, mussel beds typically occur in river reaches that receive adequate flow during low water conditions but that also exhibit high substratum stability and low shear stress under flood conditions (Strayer, 2008; Allen & Vaughn, 2010).”
Risk and benefit assessment of alien fish species of the aquaculture and aquarium trade into India (2011, background): “The impacts are typically greater in systems already affected by human activity (Vaughn 2010).”
Biodiversity on the brink: an assessment of conservation strategies for North American freshwater mussels (2013, background): “Through filter feeding, burrowing, and other activities, mussels are increasingly recognized as keystone organisms that provide multiple ecological services essential for the health of streams and lakes (e.g., Gutiérrez et al., 2003; Vaughn, 2010; Spooner & Vaughn, 2012).”
