Ostroumov S. A. Biodiversity protection and quality of water: the role of feedbacks in ecosystems. - Doklady Biological Sciences. 2002. Volume 382, p. 18-21. The article presents a new vision of how biodiversity helps towards better stability and water quality. The author made an innovative analysis of his experimental data and formulated the following suggestion: to maintain water quality, it is vital to protect the functionally active biodiversity of water ecosystems. In other words, according to his vision, the protection of functionally active biodiversity, including filter-feeders, is a key to maintenance of water quality. Among  new facts: the detergent IXI 20 mg/L inhibited water filtration by marine mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis, etc.  http://www.scribd.com/doc/52505452
