Changes in Consumption by Alewives and Lake Whitefish after Dreissenid Mussel Invasions in Lakes Michigan and Huron (2008, methodology): “For the postinvasion period, ED from Lakes Michigan and Huron during 2002–2004 was used (Madenjian et al. 2006a; Pothoven et al. 2006).”
Dispersal and emerging ecological impacts of Ponto-Caspian species in the Laurentian Great Lakes. (2002, background): “Dreissena is not eaten by many indigenous Great Lakes fishes, and the ones that have, such as lake whitefish and freshwater drum (Aplodinotus grunniens), have shown a decrease in condition factor after Dreissena became a major diet component (French and Bur 1996; Hoyle et al. 1999; Pothoven et al. 2”
Dietary shifts in a stressed fish assemblage: Consequences of a bivalve invasion in the San Francisco Estuary (2003, unknown): “Pothaven et al. (2001) documented a diet shift with decreased body condition and length at age in lake whitefish Coregonus clupeaformis associated with changes in prey availability caused by invading zebra mussels Dreissena polymorpha in Lake Michigan.”
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): “Following the collapse of Diporeia in these lakes, whitefish diets included greater quantities of oligochaetes, chironomids, sphaeriids, and zebra mussels (Owens and Dittman 2003, Pothoven et al. 2001).”
Native predators and exotic prey –an acquired taste? (2009, unknown): “from Pothoven et al. (2001). (a)”
What a difference a species makes: a meta–analysis of dreissenid mussel impacts on freshwater ecosystems (2010, background): “Changes in diet and body condition of lake whitefish in southern Lake Michigan associated with changes in benthos.”
Deepwater demersal fish community collapse in Lake Huron (2008, background): “…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 rainbow smelt (O’Gorman et al. 2000),…”
Influence of Diporeia Density on Diet Composition, Relative Abundance, and Energy Density of Planktivorous Fishes in Southeast Lake Michigan (2005, methodology): “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).”
Continued disappearance of the benthic amphipod Diporeia spp. in Lake Michigan: is there evidence for food limitation? (2006, background): “As evidence, condition and growth of lake whitefish have declined since the loss of Diporeia even though alternate prey have been found in their stomachs (Pothoven et al. 2001; Hoyle et al. 2003).”
Lake Michigan Lower Food Web: Long-Term Observations and Dreissena Impact (2010, background): “For example, the condition of two abundant planktivores, alewife Alosa pseudoharengus and lake whitefish Coregonus clupeaformis, has declined since dreissenids became abundant (Pothoven et al., 2001; Madenjian et al., 2006).”
Changes in the Lake Michigan food web following dreissenid mussel invasions: A synthesis (2015, background): “The dreissenid mussel invasions have led to a reduction in lake whitefish growth and condition during the late 1990s (Madenjian et al., 2002; Pothoven et al., 2001), and these reductions have been”
Evaluation of a Lake Whitefish Bioenergetics Model (2006, background): “Analogously, a reliable model for lake whitefish bioenergetics would allow us to better understand the changes in lake whitefish growth and condition associated with decreased abundance of amphipods Diporeia spp. (Pothoven et al. 2001; Madenjian et al. 2002a; Hoyle 2004; Owens et al. 2004).”
Transformation of the offshore benthic community in Lake Michigan: recent shift from the native amphipod Diporeia spp. to the invasive mussel Dreissena rostriformis bugensis (2009, background): “began declining (Pothoven et al., 2001; Madenjian et al., 2006).”
Changes in seasonal energy dynamics of alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) in Lake Michigan after invasion of dreissenid mussels (2006, unknown): “crease in lake whitefish abundance (Pothoven et al. 2001; Madenjian et al. 2002).”
