N1 - Consumers contribute to nutrient cycling in aquatic ecosystems by nutrient retention in tissues, metabolic transformations and excretion, and promoting microbial processes that remove nutrients (i.e., nitrogen (N) loss via denitrification). Freshwater mussels (Unionidae) form dense assemblages in rivers, and affect nutrient transformations through feeding, biodeposition, and bioturbation.
