Biological and ecological mechanisms for overcoming sperm limitation in invasive dreissenid mussels

Many broadcast-spawning benthic invertebrates are subject to sperm limitation yet achieve high population densities, as for example dreissenid mussels ( Dreissena polymorpha and Dreisssena bugensis ) that were introduced into the Laurentian Great Lakes. The question remains whether biological or eco...
