• Impacts of the Introduced Round Goby (Apollonia melanostoma) on Dreissenids (Dreissena polymorpha and Dreissena bugensis) and on Macroinvertebrate Community between 2003 and 2006 in the Littoral Zone of Green Bay, Lake Michigan (2008, background): “Studies by Barton et al. (2005) and Wilson et al. (2006) also report a decline of macroinvertebrate populations at Great Lakes sites. Wilson et al. (2006) examined spatial variation in Lake Ontario and Green Bay respectively, and Barton et al (2005) examined temporal change in northeast Lake Erie.”
• Feeding and niche differentiation in three invasive gobies in the Lower Rhine, Germany (2013, background): “…freshwater habitats through Europe (e.g., N. fluviatilis: Grabowska et al., 2009; N. melanostomus: Polacik et al., 2009; P. kessleri: Borza et al., 2009) and North America (here only N. melanostomus: Barton et al., 2005) that always exhibited a generalistic and highly flexible feeding strategy.”
• Invasive gobies in the Danube: invasion success facilitated by availability and selection of superior food resources (2009, background): “Using stable isotopes, Barton et al. (2005), revealed that mussel shells passed the digestive tract more slowly than soft prey and so the relative importance of bivalves is rather overestimated than underestimated.”
• Secondary invasion of the round goby into high diversity Great Lakes tributaries and species at risk hotspots: potential new concerns for endangered freshwater species (2010, background): “Dreissenid mussels are the most important prey item for large round goby (Barton et al. 2005; Walsh et al. 2007), which suggests that native mussel species may also be at risk due to predation.”
• Dreissenid Phosphorus Excretion Can Sustain C. glomerata Growth Along a Portion of Lake Ontario shoreline (2009, background): “Barton et al. (2005) attributed the decline in dreissenid abundance observed in Lake Erie's eastern basin between 2002 and 2004 to predation by round gobies.”
• Twenty five years of changes in Dreissena spp. populations in Lake Erie (2014, background): “While the lake-wide density of Dreissena in 1992 and 2002 was virtually the same, biomass had increased almost four-fold by 2002 due to the increase in the average mussel size (Barton et al., 2005; Patterson et al., 2005).”
• The Distribution and Abundance of Dreissena Species (Dreissenidae) in Lake Erie, 2002 (2005, background): “These observations suggest that predation by gobies is having a strong impact on the recruitment of mussels to the juvenile and adult stages (Barton et al. 2005).”
