• Ecosystem Processes Performed by Unionid Mussels in Stream Mesocosms: Species Roles and Effects of Abundance (2004, background): “Riverine species are very long-lived (usually >25 years) and slow-growing, adults are relatively sedentary, and most larvae are obligate ectoparasites on fishes (Kat, 1984; Vaughn & Taylor, 2000 ).”
• The functional role of burrowing bivalves in freshwater ecosystems (2001, background): “The largest family, the unionids, historically occurred as dense, multispecies assemblages (Vaughn, 1997b; Vaughn & Taylor, 2000) that dominated the benthic biomass of eastern rivers (Parmalee & Bogan, 1998), especially in undisturbed systems.”
• Unionid mussels influence macroinvertebrate assemblage structure in streams (2006, methodology): “…by historical constraints that determine regional species pools, physical attributes of the surrounding landscape, disturbance history, and biological attributes of organisms that lead to nonrandom patterns of dispersion (Legendre 1993, Matthaei and Townsend 2000, Vaughn and Taylor 2000).”
• Effects of substrate and hydrodynamic conditions on the formation of mussel beds in a large river (2006, background): “Conversely, areas devoid of juveniles could simply mean that juveniles have not yet arrived there (Vaughn and Taylor 2000).”
• Life history traits and abundance can predict local colonisation and extinction rates of freshwater mussels (2012, methodology): “Adult size groups based on mean shell lengths of species in the region (Vaughn & Taylor, 2000; Vaughn & Spooner, 2006) were as follows: small (<60 mm), medium (60–100 mm) and large (>100 mm).”
