• Biotic interactions in freshwater benthic habitats (2010, background): “In California and New Zealand streams, effects of predatory fish are strong enough to cascade down food chains to influence algal biomass several months after scouring floods (Power 1990b, Biggs et al. 2000).”
• Delivery and cycling of phosphorus in rivers: a review. (2008, unknown): “more winter runoff and less summer runoff), scouring of streams and more frequent flushing of storm sewer overflows (Newson and Lewin, 1991; Schindler, 1997; Biggs et al., 2000; Bouraoui et al., 2002;Wilby et al., 2006a), (iii) greater range and higher average air temperatures causing warming of wat”
• Can Invasive Species Facilitate Native Species? Evidence of How, When, and Why These Impacts Occur (2006, background): “Introduced freshwater consumers, such as crayfish and trout, prey on native herbivores, resulting in increased algal biomass (Townsend 1996; Huryn 1998; Nystrom et al. 1999; Biggs et al. 2000).”
• Impacts of freshwater invaders at different levels of ecological organisation, with emphasis on salmonids and ecosystem consequences (2003, background): “In a comparison of streams with native fish and invasive trout, Biggs et al. (2000) found that algal assemblages in trout streams were dominated by erect taxa that are more susceptible to grazing.”
• Individual, Population, Community, and Ecosystem Consequences of a Fish Invader in New Zealand Streams (2003, methodology): “In an attempt to confirm these patterns in natural situations, we assessed three pairs of streams, one containing trout and the other a galaxiid, for algal standing crops and algal species composition (Biggs et al. 2000).”
• Crying wolf, crying foul, or crying shame: alien salmonids and a biodiversity crisis in the southern cool-temperate galaxioid fishes? (2006, background): “Flecker and Townsend (1994), McIntosh and Townsend (1996) and Biggs et al. (2000) showed that when benthic insect populations in New Zealand streams are heavily preyed upon by trout, this leads to community-wide ecological impacts.”
