“…Furthermore, these plumes appear to benefit yellow perch larvae, which are abundant in the open lake during April and May, through bottom‐up effects (i.e. increased zooplankton prey production; Ludsin et al., 2011; Manning et al., 2014; Marin Jarrin et al., 2015; Reichert et al., 2010) and by reducing water clarity that reduces predation risk (Carreon‐Martinez et al., 2014; Ludsin et al., 2001; Marin Jarrin et al., 2015; Pangle et al., 2012), ultimately resulting in stronger year‐classes during years of high Maumee River inflow (Ludsin et al., 2011).

“…In Europe and North America, at least 17 species of fish (primarily fry) have been reported to consume planktonic larvae of zebra mussels (reviewed in Molloy et al, 1997 ; Chrisafi et al, 2007 ; Watzin et al, 2008 ; Turschak & Bootsma, 2015 ) as veligers represent an abundant and, because of their limited dodging capabilities, easily available prey for early feeding fish larvae, and may partially offset the apparent low consumption of other prey sources (Marin Jarrin et al, 2015 ; Withers et al, 2015 ). During the summer, Dreissena veligers often comprise up to 73% of total zooplankton density, and up to 40% of the zooplankton biomass and production (Wiktor, 1958 ; Kornobis, 1977 ; Lvova et al, 1994 ; David et al, 2009 ; Karatayev et al, 2010a ; Withers et al, 2015 ; Lazareva et al, 2016 ; Bowen et al, 2018 ).…”

The ecosystem services approach to conservation is becoming central to environmental policy decision making. While many negative biological invasion-driven impacts on ecosystem structure and functioning have been identified, much less was done to evaluate their ecosystem services. In this paper, we focus on the often-overlooked ecosystem services provided by three notable exotic ecosystem engineering bivalves, the zebra mussel, the quagga mussel, and the golden mussel. One of the most significant benefits of invasive bivalves is water filtration, which results in water purification and changes rates of nutrient cycling, thus mitigating the effects of eutrophication. Mussels are widely used as sentinel organisms for the assessment and biomonitoring of contaminants and pathogens and are consumed by many fishes and birds. Benefits of invasive bivalves are particularly relevant in human-modified ecosystems. We summarize the multiple ecosystem services provided by invasive bivalves and recommend including the economically quantifiable services in the assessments of their economic impacts. We also highlight important ecosystem disservices by exotic bivalves, identify data limitations, and future research directions. This assessment should not be interpreted as a rejection of the fact that invasive mussels have negative impacts, but as an attempt to provide additional information for scientists, managers, and policymakers.

Walleye Sander vitreus and Yellow Perch Perca flavescens are culturally, economically, and ecologically significant fish species in North America that are affected by drivers of global change. Here, we review and synthesize the published literature documenting the effects of ecosystem changes on Walleye and Yellow Perch. We focus on four drivers: climate (including temperature and precipitation), aquatic invasive species, land use and nutrient loading, and water clarity. We identified 1,232 tests from 370 papers, split evenly between Walleye (n = 613) and Yellow Perch (n = 619). Climate was the most frequently studied driver (n = 572), and growth or condition was the most frequently studied response (n = 297). The most commonly reported relationship was "no effect" (42% of analyses), usually because multiple variables were tested and only a few were found to be significant. Overall responses varied among studies for most species-response-driver combinations. For example, the influence of invasive species on growth of both Walleye and Yellow Perch was approximately equally likely to be positive, negative, or have no effect. Even when results were variable, important patterns emerged; for example, growth responses of both species to temperature were variable, but very few negative responses were observed. A few relationships were relatively consistent across studies. Invasive species were negatively associated with Walleye recruitment and abundance, and higher water clarity was negatively associated with Walleye abundance, biomass, and production. Some variability in responses may be due to differences in methodology or the range of variables studied; others represent true context dependence, where the effect of a driver depends on the influence of other variables. Using common metrics of impact, publishing negative results, and robust analytical approaches could facilitate comparisons among systems and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the responses of Walleye and Yellow Perch to ecosystem change.
