In these series are published original articles and monographs dealing with the collections and work of the Museum and setting forth newly acquired facts in the fields of anthropology, biology, geology, history, and technology. Copies of each publication are distributed to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the various subjects. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, are intended for the publication, in separate form, of shorter papers. These are gathered in volumes, octavo in size, with the publication date of each paper recorded in the table of contents of the volume. In the Bulletin series, the first of which was issued in 1875, appear longer, separate publications consisting of monographs (occasionally in several parts) and volumes in which are collected works on related subjects. Bulletins are either octavo or quarto in size, depending on the needs of the presentation. Since 1902, papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum have been published in the Bulletin series under the heading Contributions from the United States National Herbarium.

  • Where Did Zebra Mussels Come From?
    Zebra Mussels What are zebra mussels? Adult zebra mussels are small, freshwater mollusks (e.g.: clam-like organisms) named for their typical striped pattern on their shells. They are not native to Manitoba or North America. Adults have a shell and can range in size of a sesame seed and can grow up to 25 mm (1 in) long. Adult zebra mussel colour patterns can vary to the point of having only dark or light coloured shells and no stripes. Unlike our native mussels, zebra mussels attach themselves to solid surfaces, aquatic vegetation or each other with their byssal threads (Figure 1). Figure 1. A cluster of adult zebra mussels attached to a rock. Photo credit: Manitoba Sustainable Development. Larval zebra mussels are called veligers. They are so small they cannot be seen with the naked eye. Veligers are free-floating in the water and do not attach to hard surfaces until they reach the juvenile or shelled stage. Veligers do not swim on their own they move primarily by water movement. They can also be transported in undrained water found in watercraft, motors, and compartments or in water-related equipment such as bait buckets. Where did zebra mussels come from? Zebra mussels are native to Eastern Europe and Western Russia. They were brought over to the Great Lakes in ballast water of ocean-going freighters. The ballast water containing aquatic invasive species such as zebra mussels was dumped into the Great Lakes. From there zebra mussels have been moved by human activity and have greatly expanded their range. What are their breeding habits and life cycle? Zebra mussels are prolific breeders.
