We investigated whether concentrations of the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin were positively associated with Dreissena polymorpha invasion by conducting surveys of 39 inland lakes in southern Michigan with low to moderate total phosphorus concentrations (≤20 μg·L -1 ). (wilsonlab.com)

The foraging skills of Tufted Duck Aythya fuligula and Scaup Aythya marila feeding on Zebra Mussels Dreissena polymorpha were studied in experiments under semi-natural diving conditions with relevance to the IJsselmeer/Markermeer area (large lakes in the centre of The Netherlands, former Zuiderzee area), the major freshwater wintering site of both species in Europe.

We compared zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) colonization of six commonly used construction materials (PVC, concrete, steel, galvanized steel, pressure-treated wood, aluminum) plus a native unionid mussel shell, and examined effectiveness of the Intersleek® 970 Fluoropolymer Foul Release Coating system applied to the six materials in limiting colonization by this aquatic nuisance species.

The purpose of the survey was to assess the status of the benthic macroinvertebrate community, with a primary focus on the invasive mussels Dreissena polymorpha and Dreissena rostriformis bugensis, and the native amphipod Diporeia. (noaa.gov)
The thumbnail-sized zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, is a small freshwater mussel native to Europe that was introduced in the 1980s into the Great Lakes. (infoplease.com)
Further, we note recent reports showing that the ongoing invasion of freshwaters in North America by the filter-feeding zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, is causing an increase in M. aeruginosa in low-nutrient lakes. (kenyon.edu)

Native to the Caspian Sea, zebra mussels ( Dreissena polymorpha ) were first found in North America in 1988. (alaska.gov)
Bugensis1
Quagga mussels ( Dreissena rostriformis bugensis ), a cousin of the zebra mussel, probably arrived to the U.S. at the same time as zebra mussels. (alaska.gov)
Mussels1
Dreissena is a genus of small freshwater mussels in the family Dreissenidae in the class Bivalvia. (wikipedia.org)
Caspian Sea1
In this study, fossil and subfossil specimens of the four modern Dreissena species in the Caspian Sea are used to test the performance of 3D-based morphological approaches for machine learning assisted species identification. (bioone.org)
Species1
The results show that (i) there is no superior machine learning approach to species determination based on shell characters, (ii) shell complexity parameters are not per se more suitable for species identification than shell dimensions, (iii) a combination of shell parameters increases determination performance and reduces their species dependence and (iv) shell characters alone do not allow precise determination of all Dreissena species studied. (bioone.org)
Dark1
Dreissena have prominent dark and light banding on the shell but can have many different variations. (wikipedia.org)
Surveys1
While the surveys in 1994/95 focused only on Dreissena and Diporeia, the survey in 2015 was broader in scope and documented abundances and biomass of all macrobenthic taxa. (noaa.gov)

Invasion1
KdPAR has also declined, most strongly since the mid-1990s, following Dreissena mussel invasion, driving an increase in macroalgal biomass between 3.5 and 10 m depth. (uwaterloo.ca)
Shell1
Dreissena have prominent dark and light banding on the shell but can have many different variations. (wikipedia.org)
