www.umesc.usgs.gov — Zebra mussels have caused drastic declines in native clam and mussel populations in some locations. Zebra mussels compete with other invertebrates and young fish for plankton, the primary food source for these groups. UMESC scientists are investigating the effects zebra mussels are having on the riverine ecosystem. This study examines the effects More...

www.lsc.usgs.gov — Freshwater mussels are declining rapidly in response to habitat degradation associated with anthropogenic changes. Williams et. al. (1993) reported that 213 of the 297 recognized taxa are considered endangered, threatened, or of special concern. There is a documented need for BRD centers to provide guidance on freshwater mussel ecology in general, More...
