• Twenty five years of changes in Dreissena spp. populations in Lake Erie (2014, background): “The introduction of the zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) and quagga mussels (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) into North America in the 1980s resulted in significant negative economic and ecological impacts (reviewed in Hecky et al., 2004; Karatayev et al., 1997, 2002, 2007; Nalepa and Schloesse”
• Recent Changes in Density, Biomass, Recruitment, Size Structure, and Nutritional State of Dreissena Populations in Southern Lake Michigan (2010, background): “For example, D. rostriformis bugensiswas first found in Lake Ontario in the early 1990s and has been expanding ever since (Mills et al., 1993, 1999; Watkins et al., 2007).”
• 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): “Johannsson et al. (1985) determined respiration rates of Diporeia at several sites below the thermocline in Lake Ontario and provided a regression equation relating rates to water temperature.”
• Trophic connections in Lake Superior Part I: The offshore fish community (2011, background): “) have become abundant (Dermott and Kerec, 1997; Nalepa et al., 2007, 2009; Watkins et al., 2007).”
• What a difference a species makes: a meta–analysis of dreissenid mussel impacts on freshwater ecosystems (2010, background): “In contrast, D. bugensis commonly occupies hard and soft substratum, is commonly found at depths .20 m, and has been found in profundal sediments to depths .100 m (Mills et al. 2003, Nalepa et al. 2007, Watkins et al. 2007).”
