Transformation of the offshore benthic community in Lake Michigan: recent shift from the native amphipod Diporeia spp. to the invasive mussel Dreissena rostriformis bugensis (2009, background): “Exact reasons for the negative response of Diporeia to dreissenids are not clear, and may be related to a combination of factors (Nalepa et al., 2006a; Nalepa, Rockwell & Schloesser, 2006b).”
Evidence for Remote Effects of Dreissenid Mussels on the Amphipod Diporeia: Analysis of Lake Ontario Benthic Surveys, 1972–2003 (2007, background): “Evidence in Lake Michigan also discounts the role of lower lake productivity in the decline of Diporeia (Nalepa et al. 2006).”
Changes in Consumption by Alewives and Lake Whitefish after Dreissenid Mussel Invasions in Lakes Michigan and Huron (2008, background): “For the postinvasion period, ED from Lakes Michigan and Huron during 2002–2004 was used (Madenjian et al. 2006a; Pothoven et al. 2006).”
Health and condition in fish: the influence of lipids on membrane competency and immune response (2009, background): “…sp., which can attain densities of >1,000 animals per m 2 , have declined sharply in many areas of the Great Lakes, especially in Lakes Michigan and Huron (Nalepa et al. 2006 , and references therein) potentially as a consequence of a not fully understood interactions with invasive mussels.”
Dreissena and the Disappearance of the Spring Phytoplankton Bloom in Lake Michigan (2010, background): “dependent on the spring phytoplankton bloom, has been hypothesized to be caused by food limitation associatedwith expansion of themussel populations (Nalepa et al., 2006).”
