Herbert D. Athearn and the Museum of Fluviatile Mollusks

open access: yesDiversity
Herbert D. Athearn (1923–2011) was an avid student of freshwater mollusks. He named his private shell collection “The Museum of Fluviatile Mollusks”, which was meticulously organized at his residence.

A dataset of individual wet weights of benthic macroinvertebrates

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 696-715, December 2024.
Abstract Biomass estimates are crucial for modeling and understanding energy flow through ecosystems. Many modeling frameworks rely on published body weights of organisms to convert density estimates to biomass. However, published body weight data are limited to few taxa in a limited number of systems. Here we present mean individual weights for common

LIFE-HISTORY PATTERNS IN THE BROODING FRESHWATER BIVALVE PISIDIUM (SPHAERIIDAE) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal Molluscan Studies, 2004
Of all freshwater molluscs, the life history of sphaeriid bivalves has been one of the best studied, partly because they brood their young. In Pisidium, one of five genera in the Sphaeriidae, offspring develop and are released synchronously and therefore the reproductive state is easily determined from collections of adults.

Invasive mussels reduce community bioturbation but do not affect oxygen penetration or nutrient fluxes in organic‐poor Great Lakes sediments

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 69, Issue 11, Page 1672-1685, November 2024.
Abstract Invasive zebra and quagga (dreissenid) mussels have disrupted nutrient cycling and benthic macrofauna communities in the Laurentian Great Lakes and other invaded ecosystems. Dreissenids are now the dominant benthic macroinvertebrate in the Great Lakes, replacing the formerly dominant native bioturbating amphipod Diporeia spp.

Salamander loss alters montane stream ecosystem functioning and structure through top‐down effects

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 722-735, October 2024.
Salamanders are seriously declining worldwide and, despite being important predators in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, their effects on freshwater ecosystems are virtually unknown. We demonstrated that salamander loss could alter montane stream ecosystem functioning and structure by reducing periphyton accrual, altering algal communities ...

An Invasive Predator Substantially Alters Energy Flux Without Changing Food Web Functional State or Stability

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2024.
ABSTRACT Understanding how invasive species affect the stability and function of ecosystems is critical for conservation. Here, we quantified the effect of an actively suppressed invasive species on the Yellowstone Lake ecosystem using a food web energetics approach.
