Differential exposure, duration, and sensitivity of unionoidean bivalve life stages to environmental contaminants (2008, background): “…typically burrow to the depth of the posterior edge of the shell, but might burrow completely beneath the sediment surface, depending on water temperature, flow, day length, and reproductive activity (Balfour and Smock 1995, Amyot and Downing 1997, Watters et al. 2001, Schwalb and Pusch 2007).”
Secondary invasion of the round goby into high diversity Great Lakes tributaries and species at risk hotspots: potential new concerns for endangered freshwater species (2010, background): “Accordingly, in the absence of dreissenid mussels, it is uncertain whether round goby will shift towards native unionid mussel species, which are readily available, but whose endobenthic burrowing behavior may allow them to escape predation (Bowers et al. 2005; Schwalb and Pusch 2007).”
