- Leaf litter traits predominantly control litter decomposition in streams worldwide (2018, background): “…to litter decomposition increases with latitude, whereas the proportion attributable to mi‐ crobes concomitantly decreases with increasing latitude (Haapala et al., 2001; Leite‐Rossi et al., 2016; Mathuriau & Chauvet, 2002; Tonin, Hepp, Restello, & Gonçalves, 2014; Walpola et al., 2011).”
- Longitudinal and altitudinal changes of macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups in neotropical streams : a test of the River Continuum Concept (2007, background): “Shredders increased in these rivers certainly because the high rate of litter input (i.e., increasing canopy cover) and microbial activity (Mathuriau & Chauvet 2002, Dobson et al. 2003) may increase the availability and conditioning of this food type.”
- Litter decomposition in a Cerrado savannah stream is retarded by leaf toughness, low dissolved nutrients and a low density of shredders (2007, methodology): “Breakdown rates of P. brasiliense in the tropical Cerrado stream were slow, according to the classification of Petersen & Cummins (1974), lower than in the temperate stream and lower than those reported for other leaf species in temperate (Ostrofsky, 1997), Mediterranean (Maamri, Chergui & Pattee, 1”
- Leaf-litter breakdown in 3 streams in temperate, Mediterranean, and tropical Cerrado climates (2006, background): “Shredders also are often rare or absent in some tropical systems (Mathuriau and Chauvet 2002, Mouton and Magalhães 2003, but see Cheshire et al. 2005).”
- Macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups in Kenyan highland streams: evidence for a diverse shredder guild (2014, background): “A number of authors have reported low diversity of shredders in streams in some tropical regions (e.g., Brazil: Gonçalves et al. 2006; Colombia: Mathuriau and Chauvet 2002; Costa Rica: Irons et al. 1994; East Africa: Tumwesigye et al. 2000, Dobson et al. 2002, Masese et al. 2009b; Hong Kong: Li and ”
- A conceptual model of litter breakdown in low order streams (2015, unknown): “, 1998), Colombia (Mathuriau and Chauvet, 2002; Rueda-Delgado et al., 2006), the Brazilian Cerrado (Wantzen and Wagner, 2006; Gonçalves et al.”
- Shredders in Malaysia: abundance and richness are higher in cool upland tropical streams (2009, background): “…(e.g., Costa Rica: Irons et al. 1994, Bougainville Island: Yule 1996a, b, Hong Kong: Dudgeon and Wu 1999, Kenya: Dobson et al. 2002, Colombia: Mathuriau and Chauvet 2002, Brazil: Gonçalves et al. 2006), but recent reports indicate that this pattern is not ubiquitous (e.g., Australia:…”
- Stable isotope analysis indicates microalgae as the predominant food source of fauna in a coastal forest stream, south‐east Brazil (2006, background): “Studies in the tropics have highlighted the absence or scarcity of specialist shredders in stream invertebrate communities (e.g. Walker 1988; Rosemond et al. 1998; Dudgeon & Wu 1999; Mathuriau & Chauvet 2002; March & Pringle 2003).”
- Trophic Levels and Functional Feeding Groups of Macroinvertebrates in Neotropical Streams (2006, unknown): “Actually, the role of physical fragmentation and microbial activity in our rivers should be more important than in high mountain rivers, and consequently the litter breakdown process should be faster (Irons et al., 1994; Mathuriau & Chauvet, 2002; Dobson et al., 2003).”
- Detritus processing by invertebrate shredders: a neotropical–temperate comparison (2006, background): “Most studies from neotropical lotic systems have concluded that shredding (at least by aquatic insects) is of minor importance (Pringle and Ramı́rez 1998, Rosemond et al. 1998, Mathuriau and Chauvet 2002, Capello et al. 2004, Rueda-Delgado et al. 2006).”
