Webinar: How invasive mussels impact and are affected by North American ecosystems
Online WebinarPresentations include Mussel squeeze: dissolved oxygen and temperature can “squeeze” zebra mussels out of invaded reservoirs by Rich Miller and Crysta Gantz with Portland State University, Portland, OR Survivorship and distribution of zebra mussels within a waterbody are thought to be influenced by temperature and dissolved oxygen conditions, but detailed information to confirm the importance of […]
Webinar: Unique pathways of invasive mussel spread
Online Webinar Presentations include: More than we bargained for: Zebra mussels transported amongst European native freshwater snails by James Dickey with Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, Berlin, Germany The international pet trade is a major driver of non-native species spread, including species both sold in the trade, and organisms incidentally transported alongside. Here, we […]
Webinar: Invasive mussel treatment efficacy under different environmental conditions
Presentation #1: Context matters: Understanding the role of temperature in chemical control of quagga mussels in high conductivity waters by Michael Booth with the University of Cincinnati, Department of Biological Sciences In December 2013, quagga mussels were found in Lake Piru, a water storage reservoir in southern California, leading to concerns regarding the spread of […]
Webinar: Quagga mussel food choice at the HAB buffet
https://youtu.be/sW9fG_bvujI Presentation: Quagga mussel food choice at the HAB buffet by Anna Boegehold with the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research and Vincent Denef with the University of Michigan Description: Dreissenid mussels (quagga and zebra mussels) are powerful ecosystem engineers in the Laurentian Great Lakes, causing short and long term changes to phytoplankton such as algae and cyanobacteria. In […]
Webinar: The duality of shell deposition: how zebra mussel shells introduce a novel substrate in urban and degrade habitat in rural streams
https://youtu.be/o9hfrH5LVuY The duality of shell deposition: how zebra mussel shells introduce a novel substrate in urban and degrade habitat in rural streams by Darrin Hunt with the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Arkansas Presentation Description: Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) have invaded surface waters throughout North America and Western Europe, including urban and rural streams. Their proliferation […]

Webinar: Assessing the risks of zebra mussel establishment along the western United States invasion front
https://youtu.be/PppU4MGA90w Presentations: Tools to identify water bodies critical to the western spread of an invasive species by David Creamer, Michigan State University Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Damaging aquatic invasive species, such as the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha), pose an ongoing concern for potential introduction and establishment in the western United States. This study applied habitat suitability […]
Webinar – Clash of the shells: Dreissenid mussel impacts on native molluscs
https://youtu.be/Kv9R8VI58AM Presentations: The limited co-existence of zebra mussels and native mussels in the Richelieu River over the past 25 years by Kennedy Zwarych, McGill University North American unionid mussel populations have experienced significant mortality due to competition and fouling by the Eurasian zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha. Habitats whose water chemistry is suboptimal for the zebra mussel could […]
