Applying Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory to simulate growth and bio-energetics of blue mussels under low seston conditions (2009, background): “Chl amay also underestimate the true food concentrations available to mussels, since heterotrophic plankton have been reported to constitute an important dietary sources for blue mussels (Davenport et al., 2000; Lehane and Davenport, 2002; Lehane and Davenport, 2004; Trottet et al., 2008).”
Causes and effects of a highly successful marine invasion: Case-study of the introduced Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in continental NW European estuaries (2010, background): “Larviphagy, the feeding on (bivalve) larvae, therefore must be a common phenomenon among bivalve filter-feeders (Lehane and Davenport, 2004; Troost et al., 2008a).”
Stable carbon isotopic composition of Mytilus edulis shells: relation to metabolism, salinity, δ13CDIC and phytoplankton (2006, background): “Mussels have been shown to feed on dissolved organic carbon (DOC) (Roditi et al., 2000), their own and other bivalve larvae (Lehane and Davenport, 2004), zooplankton (Lehane and Davenport, 2002; Wong et al., 2003), and macroalgae detritus (Levinton et al., 2002); all with different d13C values (see…”
