• Ecosystem Processes Performed by Unionid Mussels in Stream Mesocosms: Species Roles and Effects of Abundance (2004, background): “(4) Most studies have found that mussels feed non-selectively and have high diet overlap, ingesting phytoplankton, bacteria and organic material in proportion to their availability (Bronmark & Malmqvist, 1982; Paterson, 1984; Nichols & Garling, 2000; Raikow & Hamilton, 2000).”
• Changing Perspectives on Pearly Mussels, North America's Most Imperiled Animals (2004, background): “Nichols and Garling (2000) showed that unionaceans in a small river were omnivorous, subsisting mainly on particles less than 28 micrometers in diameter, including algae, detritus, and bacteria.”
• Context-dependent effects of freshwater mussels on stream benthic communities (2006, background): “While some comparative, field estimates of unionid processing rates have been made ( Nichols and Garling 2000, Raikow and Hamilton 2001, Christian et al. 2004), it is now imperative to examine these rates experimentally and under different environmental contexts.”
• Differential δ13C and δ15N signatures among scallop tissues: implications for ecology and physiology (2002, background): “, 2000), deposit material (Raikow and Hamilton, 2001), benthic algae, microheterotrophs and bacteria (Kang et al., 1999; Kreeger and Newell, 2001; Nichols and Garling, 2000).”
• Bivalve diets in a midwestern U.S. stream: A stable isotope enrichment study (2001, background): “Preferential assimilation of microbes and algae— Pennak (1989) describes the diet of freshwater bivalves as consisting chiefly of fine organic detritus dislodged from the substrate, with phytoplankton of minor importance.”
• Stable isotopic signatures, tissue stoichiometry, and nutrient cycling (C and N) of native and invasive freshwater bivalves (2010, background): “Moreover, bivalves might selectively assimilate bacteria over the fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) to which they are attached (Nichols and Garling 2000, Christian et al. 2004).”
