Biology and Management of Invasive Quagga and Zebra Mussels in the Western United States de Wai Hing Wong

Biology and Management of Invasive Quagga and Zebra Mussels in the Western United States

Editat de Wai Hing Wong, Shawn L. Gerstenberger
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 mai 2015
Biology and Management of Invasive Quagga and Zebra Mussels in the Western United States is a synthesis of the biology and management of invasive mussels from scientists and managers working on invasive quagga and zebra mussels in the western United States. Invasive dreissenid mussels have spread throughout southwestern United States at unprecedented speeds, and present a unique threat to native ecosystems. This book documents the efforts, both successful and unsuccessful, of individuals and agencies after dreissenid mussels invaded the West.
Although the book is designed specifically for scientists and managers fighting invasive mussels in western waterbodies, it offers an opportunity for scientists and lake managers worldwide to compare successful strategies relevant to their unique situation. It includes guidance documents and protocols related to early detection, prevention, regulation, monitoring, and control of these invasive pests in the West. It compares quagga and zebra mussels in the western United States with those mussels colonizing the Great Lakes and European waters.

Recenzii

"This book is an excellent contribution to the literature of both the science and management of dreissenid mussels. It superbly documents the history and management of quagga and zebra mussels in our Western States. Anyone working with the policy and management of these organisms in the United States, should have this on their shelf."
—Willard N. Harman, State University of New York, College at Oneonta Biological Field Station, in Management of Biological Invasions

Descriere

This book is a synthesis of the biology and management of invasive mussels from scientists and managers working on invasive quagga/zebra mussels in the western U.S. and will specifically benefit people who are fighting invasive mussels in western waterbodies. It includes guidance documents and protocols related to early detection, prevention, and management of these invasive pests in the West. This book also offers an opportunity for scientists and lake managers worldwide to compare quagga/zebra mussels in the West, the Great Lakes, the East, and European dreissenid mussels.
