Phenotypic plasticity and genetic isolation-by-distance in the freshwater mussel Unio pictorum (Mollusca: Unionoida) (2010, background): “Similarly, the degree of shell inflation (relative shell width) was not considered, in this case because, in contrast to shell elongation and sagittal shell shape, this morphological character is strongly influenced by ontogenetic growth in unionoids (Zieritz and Aldridge 2009).”
Ecosystem engineering by mussels supports biodiversity and water clarity in a heavily polluted lake in Dhaka, Bangladesh (2016, methodology): “We calculated population growth curves, Walford plots, and von Bertalanffy equation coefficients as described in detail by Aldridge (1999) and Zieritz and Aldridge (2009).”
Fouling of European freshwater bivalves (Unionidae) by the invasive zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) (2011, background): “…in the population under survey, caution must be taken when drawing comparisons between populations or even adjacent habitats because shell morphology can vary considerably over very small distances (Zieritz & Aldridge, 2009) and because shells thicken as they approach the asymptotic length.”
