Biodiversity of freshwater mussels in the lower Great Lakes drainage basin / J.L. Metcalfe-Smith ... [et al.]. : En13-5/97-90E-PDF
"North America is home to the richest freshwater mussel fauna in the world. Over the past century, however, mussels have suffered severe declines in diversity and abundance due to commercial harvesting, human alterations of aquatic habitats, water pollution and, most recently, the invasion of the zebra mussel. ... This project examined trends in the biodiversity of freshwater mussels in the lower Great Lakes drainage basin over the past 140 years. The data revealed a pattern of species losses and changing community composition throughout the basin, particularly in the formerly species-rich Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair drainages."--Management perspective.
