• Occurrence and Food Habits of the Round Goby in the Profundal Zone of Southwestern Lake Ontario (2007, background): “Other invertebrates collected in Ponar samples included oligochaetes, chironomids, ostracods, amphipods (Gammarus spp. and Diporeia spp., hereafter Diporeia), nematodes, and fingernail clams (Bivalve: Sphaeriidae) (Table 3).”
• Evidence for Remote Effects of Dreissenid Mussels on the Amphipod Diporeia: Analysis of Lake Ontario Benthic Surveys, 1972–2003 (2007, background): “Dermott (2001) reported that declines of spring diatom biomass in the Kingston basin (0.6 g/m3 to 0.1 g/m3 in 1994 and 1995) coincided with the decline of Diporeia.”
• Influence of Diporeia Density on Diet Composition, Relative Abundance, and Energy Density of Planktivorous Fishes in Southeast Lake Michigan (2005, background): “The benthic amphipod Diporeia is an important food resource for planktivorous fish in offshore areas of the Great Lakes, but its abundance has been rapidly decreasing (Dermott and Kerec 1997; Nalepa et al. 1998, 2000, 2003; Dermott 2001; Lozano et al. 2001).”
• Alternative Ecological Pathways in the Eastern Lake Ontario Food Web—Round Goby in the Diet of Lake Trout (2006, background): “However, after the invasion and proliferation of dreissenid mussels Diporeia, which had previously accounted for 86% of the total benthic production, disappeared from eastern Lake Ontario (Dermott 2001, Hoyle et al. 2003b).”
• 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): “populations and with seemingly adequate food resources in the water column (diatoms) (Dermott, 2001; Nalepa et al., 2003).”
• 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): “Our findings are consistent with those of Dermott (2001), who noted a drastic decline of Diporeia between 1992 and 1995 in northeastern Lake Ontario.”
• Continued disappearance of the benthic amphipod Diporeia spp. in Lake Michigan: is there evidence for food limitation? (2006, background): “Declines in Diporeia populations have recently been documented in all the lakes except Lake Superior, and large areas in southeastern Lake Michigan (Nalepa et al. 1998), outer Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron (Nalepa et al. 2003), eastern Lake Erie (Dermott and Kerec 1997), and Lake Ontario ( Dermott 2001; ”
• Changes in Consumption by Alewives and Lake Whitefish after Dreissenid Mussel Invasions in Lakes Michigan and Huron (2008, background): “(Dermott and Kerec 1997; Nalepa et al. 1998, 2003, 2006; Dermott 2001).”
• Dispersal and emerging ecological impacts of Ponto-Caspian species in the Laurentian Great Lakes. (2002, background): “1998, 2000) and Ontario (Dermott 2001; Lozano et al. 2001) also have been attributed to competition with Dreissena for settling algae, particularly spring diatoms.”
