Interactions among unionids (Bivalvia: Unionidae) and zebra mussels (Bivalvia: Dreissenidae) in a Lake Erie coastal wetland
These patterns suggest that although the potential habitat of zebra mussels and unionids is similar, the direct impact of zebra mussels on unionids may be minimal in this wetland.

The relative importance of substrate type compared to contaminant stress in shaping the benthic macroinvertebrate communities is examined.
The dominant taxa identified in the 1999 survey include Dreissenidae, Oligochaeta, Nematoda, and Chironomidae, while a unique hydrozoan was identified for the first time in the Detroit River system.
Compared to surveys done in 1980 and 1991, the range and abundance of mayflies (Hexagenia) have increased.

 Great Lakes Ecosystems: Contributing Factors in Habitat Selection Lake Sturgeon
The dominant prey type for the 300-650 mm size class was determined to be Dipteran larvae (chironomidae) in the summer and Malacostraca (gammaridae) in the fall.
Molluscs (Dreissenidae) and gastropods first appeared in the 651—1001 mm size class and were the dominant prey type identified within the 1002 -1352 mm size class during the summer and fall sampling events.
Chironomidae and brachycentridae were the two most abundant prey types found in samples of macrobenthos samples collected from areas identified as juvenile habitat.

 Dreissena polymorpha - Systematic position
Representatives of the small Dreissenidae family have never been diverse and abundant despite their evolutionary history (ca 50 million years).
About 10-11 million years ago, numerous genera, subgenera, species, and subspecies evolved in large, brackish-water lakes of central and eastern Europe (Paratethys), colonizing all accessible aquatic habitats therein and leaving large depositions of shells.

 Dreissena polymorpha - main page
At present, the Dreissenidae family is represented by only two genera — Congeria and Dreissena (by classification of Starobogatov, 1994).
Based on natural and human-mediated dispersal, abiotic preferences, and biology, Dreissena species and subspecies can be subdivided into two groups - brackishwater (mezohaline), and freshwater.
