The hyporheic zone as an invertebrate refuge: a review of variability in space, time, taxa and behaviour (2012, background): “In addition, increased hyporheic abundance of benthos has been noted during low flows, due to submerged habitat contraction and a concurrent increase in biotic interactions (e.g. predation, competition) in the benthic zone (Covich et al. 2003; Stubbington et al. 2010, 2011a, 2011b).”
Extreme climatic events in relation to global change and their impact on life histories (2011, background): “Prolonged droughts in tropical rainforest biomes may lead to crowding of freshwater shrimp in remaining water pools and consequent prolonged decreases in reproductive output (Covich et al., 2003).”
Leaf-litter breakdown in 3 streams in temperate, Mediterranean, and tropical Cerrado climates (2006, background): “Unlike in other tropical systems (e.g., Covich et al. 2003, Crowl et al. 2006), crabs, shrimps, and fishes feeding on litter were absent from the tropical Cerrado stream in our study (Callisto et al. 2001).”
The hyporheic refuge hypothesis reconsidered: a review of hydrological aspects (2011, background): “Localised crowding resulting from habitat contraction and changes in the type and strength of biotic interactions in isolated pools (increased competition and predation, decreased resource availability) may significantly alter aquatic communities (Covich et al. 2003) and govern the survival of benth”
Predator–prey interactions in river networks: comparing shrimp spatial refugia in two drainage basins (2009, background): “some months are relatively dry and droughts can eliminate flow in headwater streams for several weeks (Larsen, 2000; Covich et al., 2003).”
