What a difference a species makes: a meta–analysis of dreissenid mussel impacts on freshwater ecosystems (2010, background): “The success of these species is a troubling phenomenon because these species are capable of producing algal toxins, and because blooms may occur in otherwise oligotrophic systems (Raikow et al. 2004, Knoll et al. 2008).”
Top down control from the bottom: Regulation of eutrophication in a large river by benthic grazing (2006, result): “The results are consistent, however, with effects of strong top-down control in general (Carpenter et al. 1992) and with zebra mussel effects found in some lakes (e. g., Raikow et al. 2004).”
Changes in microcystin production in cyanobacteria exposed to zooplankton at different population densities and infochemical concentrations (2007, background): “Zebra mussels, exotic species in the Great Lakes, promote the dominance of Microcystis in phytoplankton communities in lakes with relatively low total phosphorus levels (Raikow et al. 2004).”
Biomanipulation as a restoration tool to combat eutrophication : recent advances and future challenges (2012, background): “Invasion of North American lakes by zebra mussels has been argued to cause the widely observed increase, in particular, of species of toxigenic cyanobacteria, M. aeruginosa (Knoll et al., 2008; Raikow et al., 2004; Sarnelle et al., 2010; Vanderploeg et al., 2001).”
Grazing on colonial and filamentous, toxic and non-toxic cyanobacteria by the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha (2005, background): “(Raikow et al., 2004) and also lend support to the idea that the observed gradient in cyanobacteria in Lake IJsselmeer is a result of mussel grazing.”
Twenty years of zebra mussels: lessons from the mollusk that made headlines (2009, background): “Populations of phytoplankton and small zooplankton fell, often by > 50%, sometimes with subsequent irruptions of inedible or toxic phytoplankton (Vanderploeg et al. 2001; Effler et al. 2004; Raikow et al. 2004; Caraco et al. 2006).”
