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 ”
Are autochthonous foods more important than allochthonous resources to benthic consumers in tropical headwater streams? (2009, background): “Specialist shredders are particularly scarce in Hong Kong streams where they are represented by only 6 species (plus 2 facultative shredders), mainly calamoceratid caddisflies and eulichadid beetle larvae (Li and Dudgeon 2008, 2009).”
