Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Carbon dioxide (CO) is gaining interest as a tool to combat aquatic invasive species, including zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha). However, the effects of water chemistry on CO efficacy are not well described. We conducted five trials in which we exposed adult zebra mussels to a range of CO in water with adjusted total hardness and specific conductance. We compared dose–responses and found differences in lethal concentration to 50% of organisms (LC50) estimates ranging from 108.3 to 179.3 mg/L CO and lethal concentration to 90% of organisms (LC90) estimates ranging from 163.7 to 216.6 mg/L CO. We modeled LC50 and LC90 estimates with measured water chemistry variables from the trials. We found sodium (Na) concentration to have the strongest correlation to changes in the LC50 and specific conductance to have the strongest correlation to changes in the LC90. Our results identify water chemistry as an important factor in considering efficacious CO concentrations for zebra mussel control. Additional research into the physiological responses of zebra mussels exposed to CO may be warranted to further explain mode of action and reported selectivity. Further study could likely develop a robust and relevant model to refine CO applications for a wider range of water chemistries. Environ Toxicol Chem 2024;43:1312–1319. Published 2024.
