Evidence for Remote Effects of Dreissenid Mussels on the Amphipod Diporeia: Analysis of Lake Ontario Benthic Surveys, 1972–2003 (2007, background): “Recent studies, however, suggest that D. bugensis is better suited physiologically 652 Watkins et al. to handle cold temperatures than D. polymorpha (Baldwin et al. 2002, Stoeckmann 2003).”
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): “At low levels of natural seston (i.e. 1 lg L)1 Chl), D. r. bugensis grew 19 times faster than D. polymorpha (Baldwin et al., 2002).”
Invasion history, distribution, and relative abundances of Dreissena bugensis in the old world: a synthesis of data (2010, background): “polymorpha so that at low food levels it maintains higher growth and fecundity rates (Baldwin et al. 2002).”
Invasion ecology of quagga mussels (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis): a review of evolutionary and phylogenetic impacts (2005, unknown): “It is clear that these two co-occurring species with overlapping historical ranges and similar life history strategies dramatically differ in their invasion timings in Europe and in distributions in Europe and North America (Mills et al. 1996; Baldwin et al. 2002; Stoeckmann 2003; Orlova et al. 2004”
Dreissena and the Disappearance of the Spring Phytoplankton Bloom in Lake Michigan (2010, methodology): “Previous comparative work (21–23 °C) on zebra and shallow morph quagga mussels suggested that mussels of a given length have similar clearance rates (Ackerman, 1999; Baldwin et al., 2002), but quagga mussel rates normalized to body mass were considerably lower since tissue weight of the quagga musse”
Changes in Global Economies and Trade: the Potential Spread of Exotic Freshwater Bivalves (2007, background): “Several studies have predicted that D. bugensis may out compete D. polymorpha in Lakes Erie and Ontario (Mills et al. 1999; Baldwin et al. 2002).”
Replacement of Zebra Mussels by Quagga Mussels in the Canadian Nearshore of Lake Ontario: the Importance of Substrate, Round Goby Abundance, and Upwelling Frequency (2006, background): “It has been suggested that zebra mussels facilitated (e.g., Ricciardi 2001) the quagga mussel population expansion by reducing food availability to levels at which the quagga mussel was a superior competitor (Baldwin et al. 2002).”
Twenty five years of changes in Dreissena spp. populations in Lake Erie (2014, background): “…worsened food conditions in Lake Erie associated with the introduction of Dreissena species (Barbiero and Tuchman, 2004; Leach, 1993; Macisaac et al., 1992) after which quagga mussels would outperform D. polymorpha due to their greater energetic efficiency (Baldwin et al., 2002; Stoeckmann, 2003).”
Recent Changes in Density, Biomass, Recruitment, Size Structure, and Nutritional State of Dreissena Populations in Southern Lake Michigan (2010, background): “polymorpha, which may be expected given its higher assimilation efficiency and lower respiration rate (Baldwin et al., 2002; Stoeckmann, 2003).”
The Distribution and Abundance of Dreissena Species (Dreissenidae) in Lake Erie, 2002 (2005, background): “The early success of quagga mussels in deeper water is thought to reflect higher growth rates at low food concentrations (Diggins 2001, Baldwin et al. 2002) and a lower tolerance of high temperatures (Domm et al. 1993, Spidle et al. 1995, Thorp et al. 1998).”
