Longitudinal and altitudinal changes of macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups in neotropical streams : a test of the River Continuum Concept (2007, background): “…shredders depends, among other factors (e.g., leaf hardness), on microbial colonization of leaves, i.e., conditioning of leaves (Gessner et al. 1999, Graça et al. 2001), which may increase with water temperature (Irons et al. 1994, Fabre & Chauvet 1998) and eutrophication (Gulis & Suberkropp 2003).”
Ecological stoichiometry in freshwater benthic systems: recent progress and perspectives (2005, background): “…apart from possible physiological adaptations, the wellestablished preference of shredders for conditioned leaves (e.g. Bärlocher & Kendrick, 1975; Graça et al., 2001), which involves selective feeding on nutrientenriched fungal patches (Arsuffi & Suberkropp, 1985; Ecological stoichiometry in…”
Detritus processing by invertebrate shredders: a neotropical–temperate comparison (2006, methodology): “In particular, larvae of the genus Phylloicus (Calamoceratidae) were used in laboratory studies (Graça et al. 2001, Rincón and Martı́nez 2006).”
The functional role of Gammarus(Crustacea, Amphipoda): shredders, predators, or both? (2002, background): “Indeed, Gammarus process allochthonous and autochthonous plant material into more digestible and assimilable forms for other invertebrates (Graca et al., 2001).”
Trophic Levels and Functional Feeding Groups of Macroinvertebrates in Neotropical Streams (2006, unknown): “Previous FFG allocations from literature were also consulted (Merritt & Cummins, 1996; Bello & Cabrera, 2001; Graça et al., 2001; Polegatto & Froehlich, 2003; Molina, 2004) and included in the final results.”
Feeding rates, assimilation efficiencies and growth of two amphipod species on biodeposited material from zebra mussels (2008, background): “rates and assimilation efficiencies (e.g. Bärlocher & Kendrick, 1975; McCullough & Minshall, 1979; Graca et al., 2001).”
Resource quality and stoichiometric constraints on stream ecosystem functioning (2009, background): “This suggests that it is not necessary for leaf-litter to be of a local origin for effective energy transfer to occur in stream food webs, as consumers can readily use and process exotic leaf types (cf. Graça et al., 2001; Thompson & Townsend, 2003; Lecerf et al., 2007a).”
Global patterns of stream detritivore distribution: implications for biodiversity loss in changing climates (2012, background): “Different shredder species show preferences for leaves of the same plant species (Graça et al., 2001; Bastian et al., 2007), and competition is an important mechanism regulating the consumption of leaf litter by shredders (Bastian et al., 2008).”
Leaf Quality of Some Tropical and Temperate Tree Species as Food Resource for Stream Shredders (2010, methodology): “We offered leaf discs of conditioned leaves (2 weeks in the stream) and unconditioned leaves (leached in running tap water for 24 hours) of the same species (2 discs of each type), according to GRAÇA et al. (2001a) and CANHOTO et al.”
Leaf decomposition and invertebrate colonization responses to manipulated litter quantity in streams (2008, background): “Gammarus are very effective leaf shredders (e.g., Groom and Hildrew 1989, Baldy and Gessner 1997, Dangles et al. 2004) that feed very selectively (Bärlocher and Kendrick 1973, Arsuffi and Suberkropp 1989, Graça et al. 2001).”
Biodiversity, functional roles and ecosystem services of groundwater invertebrates (2008, background): “Observations of the apparent significance of several groups of common stream invertebrates such as amphipods and some case-building caddisfly larvae in shredding leaves (Cummins 1974; Graça et al. 2001) led to their inclusion as a keystone functional group in conceptual models of organic matter proc”
Litter decomposition in a Cerrado savannah stream is retarded by leaf toughness, low dissolved nutrients and a low density of shredders (2007, background): “This species is known as a selective shredder in the tropics (Graça et al., 2001; Rincón & Martı́nez, 2006).”
Predator–prey interactions in river networks: comparing shrimp spatial refugia in two drainage basins (2009, background): “Moreover, increased understanding of the variability among functional feeding relationships in tropical streams (Boyero & Bailey, 2001; Graça et al., 2001; Melo & Froehlich, 2001; Tomanová, Goitia & Helešic, 2006) has led to further”
