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.

There is a growing demand for appropriate management of aquatic
invasive species in lakes and rivers worldwide. This book covers
biology, invasion ecology, sightings, and control techniques of 4
invasive animals and 15 invasive plants in Massachusetts lakes and
rivers. It provides valuable information on their biological
characteristics and potential expansion pathways, as well as
monitoring and management, including alternative management tools
using updated biological, chemical, and mechanical methods. The
book also includes the regulation of invasive species management to
allow resource managers, biologists, practitioners, volunteers, and
students a better understanding of compliance and enforcement with
environmental law. An example of successful management is
highlighted for each invasive species. Invasive Animals and Plants
in Massachusetts Lakes and Rivers is the first book to provide
comprehensive and systematic coverage and illustrations for both
freshwater invasive animals and plants. Although focussing on
Massachusetts, it will provide readers with the bigger picture on
multiple invasive species, from prevention, early detection,
control, ecological restoration, to public education. Natural
resource managers in Massachusetts and surrounding states will
glean the detailed and valuable information they need to learn and
use to prevent and manage freshwater invasive species in the field.
