In most cases, at least one specimen record exists for each listed natural community. For certain taxa, especially poorly collected or extirpated species of prairie and savanna habitats, natural community lists were derived from inferences from collection sites and habitat preferences in immediately adjacent states (particularly Indiana and Illinois). Natural communities are not listed for those species documented only from altered or ruderal habitats in Michigan, especially for taxa that occur in a variety of habitats outside of the state.</p> <p>Natural communities are not listed in order of frequency of occurrence, but are rather derived from the full set of natural communities, organized by Ecological Group. In many cases, the general habitat descriptions should provide greater clarity and direction to the surveyor. In future versions of the Rare Species Explorer, we hope to incorporate natural community fidelity ranks for each taxon.</p> </div> </div> <div class="description"> <h2 class="section">Management Recommendations</h2> <p>Invading zebra mussels can outcompete pea clams for food, and have been linked to drastic declines of this group in the Great Lakes (Lozano et al. 2000, Nalepa et al. 1998). Controlling the spread of zebra mussels by cleaning boat hulls, trailers, and scuba/fishing gear before moving between waterbodies will benefit the river fingernail clam. The pea clam family is especially sensitive to chemical pollutants (Zischke and Arthur 1987), heavy metals and low dissolved oxygen conditions (Kullman et al. 2007). Taking steps to improve water quality should be part of any effort to manage for benthic macroinvertebrates. Monitoring and mitigation for resident aquatic organisms should be put in place before major alterations to habitat such as river impoundment, dredging, or construction are undertaken.</p> </div> <div id="survey-methods" class="description"> <h2 class="section">Survey Methods</h2> <p>Peaclams are best surveyed for by collecting with a grab sampler, such as an Ekman or Peterson grab, or dip net. Collected samples are washed through sieves with a fine mesh (.40 mm openings) in order to retain the smallest individuals. Light-duty forceps can be used to hand-pick peaclams from debris (Mackie 2007).</p> <h3>D-frame net, dip net</h3> <p>Survey Period: From first week of April to first week of October</p> <p> Time of Day: Daytime<br> </p> </div> <div id="references" class="description"> <h2 class="section">References</h2> <h3>Survey References</h3> <ul> <li>Mackie, G.L. 2007.
