Facilitative interactions among aquatic invaders: is an "invasional meltdown" occurring in the Great Lakes? (2001, background): “…1999 Myriophyllum spicatum– / Cyprinus carpio0 Lundholm and Simser 1999 Interference Elimia virginica – / Bithynia tentaculata0 Harman 1968 Sphaerium corneum– / Dreissena polymorpha0 Lauer and McComish 2001 Antagonism (–/–) (7 cases) Predation vs. allelopathy Oncorhynchus kisutch/ Alosa…”
Dominance of the noxious cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa in low‐nutrient lakes is associated with exotic zebra mussels (2004, background): “Observational evidence for or against the effects of Dreissena on cyanobacterial dominance has so far been limited to uncontrolled before-and-after comparisons of single ecosystems undergoing invasion (Smith et al. 1998; Idrisi et al. 2001; Nicholls et al. 2002).”
Invasive species impacts on ecosystem structure and function: A comparison of Oneida Lake, New York, USA, before and after zebra mussel invasion (2009, background): “Potentially this discrepancy is due to non-trophic effects of zebra mussels: zebra mussels increase water clarity in Oneida Lake (Idrisi et al., 2001), which may positively affect smallmouth bass through increased prey detection ability and an increase in littoral zone habitat.”
Dispersal and emerging ecological impacts of Ponto-Caspian species in the Laurentian Great Lakes. (2002, background): “In Oneida Lake, algal biomass declined in response to Dreissena, but Daphnia spp. biomass and production did not (Idrisi et al. 2001).”
Lake restoration studies: failures, bottlenecks and prospects of new ecotechnological measures (2008, result): “As mentioned above, studies in Oneida Lake in North America showed clear improvement of light climate and macrophyte vegetation extending to deeper areas in the presence of zebra mussels (Idrisi et al., 2001; Mayer et al., 2002).”
What a difference a species makes: a meta–analysis of dreissenid mussel impacts on freshwater ecosystems (2010, background): “For example, declines in phytoplankton biomass were offset by increases in water clarity in eutrophic Oneida Lake, and areal production remained similar between pre- and post-invasion periods (Idrisi et al. 2001).”
THE INVASIVE BIVALVES DREISSENA POLYMORPHA AND LIMNOPERNA FORTUNEI: PARALLELS, CONTRASTS, POTENTIAL SPREAD AND INVASION IMPACTS (2007, background): “Invasion by D. polymorpha results in decreased phytoplankton density and chlorophyll concentrations (reviewed in Karatayev et al. 1997, 2002, 2005, Idrisi et al. 2001, Vanderploeg et al. 2002).”
Comparative growth and feeding in zebra and quagga mussels (Dreissena polymorpha and Dreissena bugensis): implications for North American lakes (2002, methodology): “If true, not only might quagga mussels feed and grow more efficiently than zebra mussels, they may support large populations on the declining phytoplankton stocks that have been observed in several colonized lakes (e.g., Fahnenstiel et al. 1995; Makarewicz et al. 1999; Idrisi et al. 2001 ).”
Biomanipulation as a restoration tool to combat eutrophication : recent advances and future challenges (2012, background): “For example, studies in Oneida Lake in North America showed a clear improvement of light climate and macrophyte vegetation extending to deeper areas in the presence of zebra mussels (Idrisi et al., 2001; Mayer et al., 2002) and macrophyte diversity increased (Zhu et al., 2006).”
