• Changes in Consumption by Alewives and Lake Whitefish after Dreissenid Mussel Invasions in Lakes Michigan and Huron (2008, background): “The frequency and (in some instances) proportional biomass of opossum shrimp have increased in lake whitefish diets during the postinvasion period in the Great Lakes ( Pothoven et al. 2001 ; Owens and Dittman 2003 ).”
• Feeding Ecology of Lake Whitefish in Lake Huron (2006, methodology): “Changes in the food web, diet, density dependent growth, and climatic factors were all proposed explanations for decreased growth and condition (Hoyle et al. 1999, Pothoven et al. 2001, Owens and Dittman 2003, Nalepa et al. 2005).”
• Evidence for Remote Effects of Dreissenid Mussels on the Amphipod Diporeia: Analysis of Lake Ontario Benthic Surveys, 1972–2003 (2007, background): “In fact, both whitefish and slimy sculpins have declined (Hoyle et al. 2005, Owens and Dittman 2003), and adult alewife abundance has declined through the 1990s (O’Gorman et al. 2004) providing little support that fish predation has led to the decline of Diporeia.”
• Deepwater demersal fish community collapse in Lake Huron (2008, background): “A number of changes have been observed in Great Lakes fish populations since the invasion of dreissenid mussels, including changes in diet or body composition of lake whitefish ( Pothoven et al. 2001 ) and slimy sculpin ( Owens and Dittman 2003 ), shifts in depth distributions of alewives and rainbo”
• Trophic connections in Lake Superior Part I: The offshore fish community (2011, background): “, juvenile lake trout, alewife, and rainbow smelt in these food webs (Lantry and Stewart, 1993; Madenjian et al., 1998; Owens and Dittman, 2003; Pothoven and Madenjian, 2008).”
• Influence of Diporeia Density on Diet Composition, Relative Abundance, and Energy Density of Planktivorous Fishes in Southeast Lake Michigan (2005, background): “This mechanism has been suggested as the explanation for decreases in the growth and condition of lake whitefish following Diporeia declines in Lakes Michigan and Ontario (Pothoven et al. 2001; Hoyle et al. 2003; Mills et al. 2003; Owens and Dittman 2003).”
• Changes in Benthic Invertebrate Communities of South Bay, Lake Huron Following Invasion by Zebra Mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), and Potential Effects on Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) Diet and Growth (2006, background): “The lack of changes for some groups is also generally consistent with findings across the Great Lakes where some groups do not seem to be affected by presence of zebra mussels in all habitats (Nalepa et al. 1998, Nalepa et al. 2003, Owens and Dittman 2003, Dermott and Kerec 1997).”
• Occurrence and Food Habits of the Round Goby in the Profundal Zone of Southwestern Lake Ontario (2007, background): “…may impact alewife, rainbow smelt, and slimy sculpin, particularly since Mysis are essentially the lone high-energy invertebrate available for these fishes to eat in the profundal zone since the precipitous decline of the native burrowing amphipod, Diporeia (Dermott 2001, Owens and Dittman 2003).”
