Changes in Diet and Body Condition of Lake Whitefish in Southern Lake Michigan Associated with Changes in Benthos (2001, background): “Quagga mussels were recently found in Lake Michigan and could cause a rapid acceleration of Dreissena -related impacts in the lake ( Nalepa et al. 2001 ).”
Dynamics of the Lake Michigan food web, 1970-2000 (2002, background): “Zebra mussel abundance in Lake Michigan has not yet peaked, and the quagga mussel (Dreissena bugensis) invasion of Lake Michigan has just begun (Nalepa et al. 2001).”
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): “bugensis, became established in the lake in 1997 (Nalepa et al., 2001).”
Invasion history, distribution, and relative abundances of Dreissena bugensis in the old world: a synthesis of data (2010, background): “Previous studies in Eurasia and North America have shown that in most cases D. bugensis, over time, displaces D. polymorpha.”
Changes in seasonal energy dynamics of alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) in Lake Michigan after invasion of dreissenid mussels (2006, methodology): “Next, we plotted the mean energy densities, with corresponding 95% confidence intervals, from the 2002– 2004 period together with the alewife energy density schedules developed by Stewart and Binkowski (1986) and Hewett and Johnson (1992), largely based on 1979–1981 data from Flath and Diana (1985).”
Dispersal and emerging ecological impacts of Ponto-Caspian species in the Laurentian Great Lakes. (2002, background): “…found in Lake Michigan in 1999 and is now found in abundance in nearshore rocky areas from the very north to south in Lake Michigan and in association with zebra mussels in deeper waters; a few individuals not associated with mussels where found to depths as great as 90 m (Nalepa et al. 2001).”
Changes in the Lake Michigan food web following dreissenid mussel invasions: A synthesis (2015, background): “The quagga mussel (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) was first observed in Lake Michigan in 1997 (Nalepa et al., 2001), and the quaggamussel population had established itself throughout the lake by 2004 (Nalepa et al., 2009).”
Shifts in the Diets of Slimy Sculpin ( Cottus cognatus ) and Lake Whitefish ( Coregonus clupeaformis ) in Lake Ontario Following the Collapse of the Burrowing Amphipod Diporeia (2003, background): “Significant disruption in the benthic macroinvertebrate community has occurred, or is occurring, in the four lower Laurentian Great Lakes.”
Recent Changes in Density, Biomass, Recruitment, Size Structure, and Nutritional State of Dreissena Populations in Southern Lake Michigan (2010, background): “Further, D. rostriformis bugensis became established in Lake Huron at the same time as in Lake Michigan (Nalepa et al., 2001), but mean density at 31–90 m in 2007 was only 1173/m2 (Nalepa, unpublished data).”
