Collaborative’s First Meeting: Dec. 1, 2014
An introductory meeting to the Invasive Mussel Collaborative.
An introductory meeting to the Invasive Mussel Collaborative.
This webinar summarizes recent work with a new control method, Zequanox®.
This webinar introduces attendees to the activities of Invasive Mussel Collaborative members throughout the United States, focused on the inland lake systems.
This webinar shares lessons learned from efforts to control and eradicate zebra mussels in Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba.
This webinar highlights ongoing detection and control technology research and development of tools to deliver control agents to aquatic filter-feeding organisms.
This webinar highlights successful integrated pest management control programs from different disciplines.
The webinar focuses on the theories of interactions between Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and invasive mussels, and the possible environmental influences these interactions may have. While nutrient loading is widely accepted as the primary driver behind HABs, recent research has indicated that secondary interactions and relationships may exist between HABs and invasive mussels. This joint webinar was hosted by the Harmful Algal Blooms Collaboratory and the Invasive Mussel Collaborative.
This webinar highlights available control options, case studies in planning and implementing control, and new technologies being developed to control and manage zebra and quagga mussels in irrigation systems.
This webinar highlights available methods and associated challenges, opportunities to address gaps in knowledge, and case studies in developing and implementing decontamination protocols and procedures for management agencies.
This webinar examines a variety of voluntary and mandatory programs in order to present resource managers with a suite of options for watercraft inspection and decontamination.
This webinar continues an examination of watercraft inspection and decontamination programs, focusing on voluntary programs within the Great Lakes region.
This webinar will examine methods, decision-making structures, and lessons learned from ecent response and management activities for zebra and quagga mussels.
This webinar discusses recent research examining water properties and treatment efficacy for dreissenid mussels, and examines water temperature, high water conductivity, and the efficacy of carbon dioxide as a treatment method.
This webinar explores the decision-making process leading to manual removal, operational/logistical considerations and constraints, and lessons learned from a past removal effort and an ongoing removal effort.
Recorded August 1, 2019 11:00am-12:30pm ET This webinar examined the impacts that invasive mussels pose to native fisheries in the Great Lakes. Ecological changes caused by the invasion of zebra and quagga mussels were discussed, as well as practical on-the-ground fisheries management around invasive mussels. The webinar featured presentations from: Meg McEachran, University of […]
Recorded November 4, 2019 2:00-3:00pm ET This webinar examines the study and use of environmental DNA (eDNA) to detect invasive zebra and quagga mussels. Presenters: Adam Sepulveda, United States Geological Survey Adam Sepulveda is a research zoologist with the USGS Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center in Bozeman, MT. His research focuses on understanding the […]
This webinar will discuss evolving outreach and management strategies to prevent the spread of AIS while maintaining social distancing.
Recorded August 27, 2020 11:30 am-1:00 pm ET This webinar hosted by the Invasive Mussel Collaborative discusses three recent zebra and quagga mussel control studies: projects using Zequanox® on Round Lake in the upper peninsula of Michigan, Zequanox® in Lake Michigan’s Good Harbor Bay, and EarthTec QZ on Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota. Presenters: Dr. […]
Recorded: January 25, 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. ET. Presenters Sergei Katsev, University of Minnesota-Duluth and Derek Schlea, LimnoTech will present the latest research on the role dreissenid mussels play in nutrient cycling. Nutrient recycling in sediments in the era of quagga mussels Sergei Katsev, University of Minnesota - Duluth Sediment processes recycle nutrients back […]
