Suitability of Laurentian Great Lakes for invasive species based on global species distribution models and local habitat

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2017., 2017
Abstract Efficient management and prevention of species invasions requires accurate prediction of where species of concern can arrive and persist. Species distribution models provide one way to identify potentially suitable habitat by developing the relationship between climate variables and species occurrence data.

Refining Spat‐Collection Practices to Optimise Single‐Seed Spat Production for New Zealand's Greenshell (Perna canaliculus) Mussel Industry

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Mussel aquaculture depends on a consistent spat supply, often sourced from spat‐collection ropes suspended in coastal waters. However, settlement on these ropes can be highly variable due to environmental factors. Therefore, improving spat supply from this source relies on optimising aspects of the process, particularly the timing of ...

A global meta‐analysis of ecological functions and regulating ecosystem services of freshwater bivalves

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 10, Page 2982-2997, October 2025.
Abstract Freshwater bivalves are globally distributed, diverse, and common in benthic communities. Many taxa, particularly in the most species‐rich order, Unionida, are declining due to anthropogenic stressors, while a small number of non‐native species have become increasingly abundant and widespread, commonly replacing native bivalve assemblages.

Roughness and Energy Losses Induced by Mussel Growth on the Walls of Hydraulic Structures and Application to a Water Transfer Project

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Mussel biofouling increases energy losses in hydraulic structures. The first contribution of this paper is the quantification of the mussel‐induced equivalent sand roughness ks as function of the mussel attachment density N and the shell length L. Laboratory experiments reveal that ks/L ≈ 1.5 for a continuous regular layer of mussels, which is

Onset for Active Swimming of Microorganisms to Shape Their Transport in Turbulent Open Channel Flows

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 60, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Research on active particles has primarily focused on transport in relatively weak flows, during which their active swimming plays a significant role. However, in natural or manmade waterways, the ambient flow velocity and water depth can be on the order of approximately 1 m/s and 1 m, respectively, generating turbulent diffusion that may be ...

Large‐scale validation of 46 invasive species assays using an enhanced in silico framework

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 2, March–April 2024.
It can be challenging to ensure that eDNA assays are specific to their intended targets, particularly when biodiversity is high and the geographic area is large. Here, we use an accurate machine‐learning‐based PCR model to streamline validation of 46 qPCR assays targeting invasive species throughout the continental United States. We present an overview
