- •
Mussel abundance was 60% lower downstream of an urban area compared to upstream.
- •
Mussels downstream of the cities were dominated by larger size classes.
- •
98% drop in abundance immediately downstream of wastewater treatment plant outfall
- •
Lasmigona costata was the dominant species even at urban-impacted sites.
- •
Population effects correspond to negative impacts at lower levels of organization.
