• Hydrodynamic stress and habitat partitioning between indigenous (Perna perna) and invasive (Mytilus galloprovincialis) mussels: constraints of an evolutionary strategy (2006, background): “In the laboratory, attachment strength increases with water agitation (Young 1985; Lee et al. 1990) and in the field it increases with increasing wave exposure seasonally (Price 1982; Hunt and Scheibling 2001; Carrington 2002 ), between sites (Witman and Suchanek 1984) and between habitats within a”
• Ocean waves, nearshore ecology, and natural selection (2006, background): “In this case, fluctuations in the organisms’ adhesive strength (rather that fluctuations in ocean waviness) may determine when mussels are disturbed (Carrington 2002).”
• Marine mussel adhesion: biochemistry, mechanisms, and biomimetics (2013, background): “Environmental factors like temperature, salinity, pH, substratum choice, season, and biological factors like the metabolic state of the mussel can also affect the adhesion strength and the efficiency of attachment of a byssal thread to a surface [33,34].”
