The Distribution and Abundance of Dreissena Species (Dreissenidae) in Lake Erie, 2002 (2005, background): “While D. bugensis has been shown to remove and retain phosphorus from the water column more efficiently than does D. polymorpha (Conroy et al. 2005), internal loading and cycling of phosphorus will be intensified with greater densities of mussels of either species.”
Ecological stoichiometry in freshwater benthic systems: recent progress and perspectives (2005, background): “…size and mass-specific excretion rates (across large ranges in body size), a community composed of small consumers will be more important recyclers than a community of large consumers at the same biomass (Grimm, 1988; Vanni et al., 2002; André, Hecky & Duthie, 2003; but see Conroy et al., 2005).”
Ecological Stoichiometry, Biogeochemical Cycling, Invasive Species, and Aquatic Food Webs: San Francisco Estuary and Comparative Systems (2011, background): “Excretion is significantly higher by zebra mussels than by crustacean zooplankton (Conroy et al, 2005 ).”
