Context-dependent effects of freshwater mussels on stream benthic communities (2006, background): “…dynamics and benthic invertebrate community structure through a combination of their biological activities (i.e. filter-feeding, nutrient cycling, biodeposition) and the physical habitat provided by their shells (Stewart, Miner & Lowe, 1998; Strayer et al., 1999; Hakenkamp et al., 2001).”
Minho River tidal freshwater wetlands: threats to faunal biodiversity (2008, background): “Consequently, one of the most important aspects to be studied in the Minho River TFWs is the possible change in ecosystem functioning (i.e. how this NIS altered previous ecological processes) (Hakenkamp & Palmer 1999, Hakenkamp et al. 2001, Vaughn & Hakenkamp 2001).”
Low dissolved oxygen levels reduce anti-predation behaviours of the freshwater clam Corbicula fluminea (2005, background): “dissolved oxygen, and also extends an unprotected muscular foot from the valves when moving or pedalfeeding (Hakenkamp et al., 2001).”
Negative effects of Corbicula fluminea over native freshwater mussels (2018, background): “…a limiting factor for benthic invertebrates and some studies have shown that the potential bioturbation byC. fluminea could influence benthic characteristics, displacing and/or reducing available habitats for native species, mainly at high density (Hakenkamp et al., 2001; Vaughn & Hakenkamp, 2001).”
