The Consequences of Non-Native Species Invasions on the Contemporary and Historic Trophic Ecology of Native Sport Fish in a Lake Michigan Embayment
<p>The widespread establishment of dreissenid mussels (<em>Dreissena spp.</em>) in Lake Michigan has strongly altered energy flow by sequestering nutrients in nearshore benthic habitats. Despite these ecosystem changes, little is known about their influence on resource partitioning in nearshore …

Load reduction and invasive mussel effects on eutrophication dynamics in Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron
<p>Phosphorus load reduction and dreissenid invasion are the two most important factors that influence europhication dynamics in the Great Lakes. The 1978 amendments to the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA) between the United States and Canada established target phosphorus loads for the …

Evaluating recovery in aquatic production in the Bay of Quinte: A perspective based on changes in sedimentary diatom assemblages
… toxic contaminants, invasive species like dreissenid mussels, and in recent years the added stressor of climate change. The Bay of Quinte is one of the most well studied regions in Canada with over 50 years of monitoring data. Using a paleolimnological approach, I tracked changes in the …

Long-term spatiotemporal water quality and phytoplankton dynamics in Severn Sound, Ontario: a delisted great lakes area of concern
… and potential influences from invasive dreissenid mussels. Although an important driver of water quality changes, water temperature change was variable during the study, likely due to site-specific differences and inherent data variability. Generalized Additive Mixed Models showed …

Mercury concentration and aquatic food web alterations associated with zebra mussel invasion in Minnesota lakes
Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) are an invasive species documented in 299Minnesota lakes, with 231 of those lakes managed as walleye fisheries. Many ecological changes are associated with zebra mussel invasion, including increased water clarity, depleted pelagic energy resources, expanded …

Characteristics of the Unionid Community and Habitat in a Power Plant Thermal Plume in Western Lake Erie
… due to habitat degradation and biofouling by dreissenids. However, a robust community was discovered living within the thermal discharge of a power plant at Oregon, Ohio, on the south shore of Lake Erie. Chapter 1 describes comparisons of the characteristics of this community to nearby …

Assessing the Influence of Different Inland Lake Management Strategies on Human-Mediated Invasive Species Spread
… established, some of these species, such as <i>Dreissenid</i> mussels and Eurasian watermilfoil (<i>Myriophyllum spicatum</i>), use recreational boaters as their primary vector of dispersal. Control efforts in the past have focused on boater education efforts and boat washing stations and …
