The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Complex hydraulic and substrate variables limit freshwater mussel species richness and abundance (2010, methodology): “For example, the mussel dynamics model developed by Morales et al. (2006a) simulated mussel colonization using substrate stability to determine suitable habitats.”
Community and foodweb ecology of freshwater mussels (2008, background): “Several recent studies indicate that dense mussel beds occur in stream areas that remain stable during peak flood events (Strayer 1999b, Hardison and Layzer 2001, Morales et al. 2006, Gangloff and Feminella 2007).”
Using landscape ecology to understand and manage freshwater mussel populations (2008, methodology): “Morales et al. (2006) successfully used a measure of substrate stability to identify suitable habitats for mussels over a 10-km reach of the upper Mississippi River (Fig.”
