Hydrodynamic stress and habitat partitioning between indigenous (Perna perna) and invasive (Mytilus galloprovincialis) mussels: constraints of an evolutionary strategy (2006, methodology): “The experiment was designed to test for interspecific competition and quadrats contained treatments with various combinations and densities of species ( Rius and McQuaid 2006 ).”
Unexpected genetic structure of mussel populations in South Africa: indigenous Perna perna and invasive Mytilus galloprovincialis (2007, background): “…in the interaction with the eastern lineage of P. perna, which excludes M. galloprovincialis from the low shore in the Kenton-on-Sea area (Rius & McQuaid 2006), and it is possible that farther east, weaker performance of M. galloprovincialis, coupled with stronger performance of a…”
Balancing survival and reproduction: seasonality of wave action, attachment strength and reproductive output in indigenous Perna perna and invasive Mytilus galloprovincialis mussels (2007, background): “This is possible partly because P. perna does not exclude M. galloprovincialis through competition, but also because M. galloprovincialis must be able to withstand the higher wave forces of the low shore, something it cannot do on the south coast (Rius & McQuaid 2006).”
