• Fouling of European freshwater bivalves (Unionidae) by the invasive zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) (2011, background): “…mussels can bioturbate and oxygenate the top layer of the sediments; mussels are a potential prey for predators; Vaughn & Hakenkamp, 2001; Aldridge et al., 2007) and are among the most endangered groups of animals on the planet (i.e. their abundance and diversity have declined…”
• Ecosystem engineering by mussels supports biodiversity and water clarity in a heavily polluted lake in Dhaka, Bangladesh (2016, background): “Mussels are attracting increased interest as a tool for habitat restoration, bioremediation, and biomonitoring because of their ability to alter structure and biodiversity of aquatic environments (Gutiérrez et al. 2003, Spooner and Vaughn 2006, Aldridge et al. 2007).”
