Trophic basis of invertebrate production in 2 streams at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (2001, methodology): “The importance of algae to stream consumers has been addressed by examining food sources for many taxa (Coffman et al. 1971, Wallace et al. 1987), but only a few studies (McCutchan 1999, Hall et al. 2000) have calculated a production-weighted estimate for the entire invertebrate assemblage.”
Wood biofilm as a food resource for stream detritivores (2007, background): “T. abdominalis, P. gentilis, and Tallaperla spp. make up 54–77% of the annual shredder production in Coweeta headwater streams (Wallace et al. 1999) and consume various amounts of leaf and wood detritus (Hall et al. 2000).”
Prey use by web-building spiders: stable isotope analyses of trophic flow at a forest-stream ecotone (2004, background): “In particular, inputs of particulate organic carbon from riparian forests (i.e. leaf-litter and terrestrial arthropods) have long been emphasized as a critical energy base of consumer communities in most headwater streams (Mason & MacDonald 1982; Nakano et al. 1999; Hall et al. 2000).”
Consumer‐resource stoichiometry in detritus‐based streams (2003, background): “…at Coweeta are extremely heterotrophic and detritus, mostly in the form of leaf litter from the surrounding catchment, provides >90% of the energy base for microbial and invertebrate 722 W. F. Cross et al. 2003 Blackwell Publishing Ltd/CNRS production (e.g. Wallace et al. 1997b; Hall et al. 2000).”
Indirect effects in complex ecosystems: recent progress and future challenges (2002, background): “A third approach is to make observational measures of interaction strength (Goldwasser and Roughgarden, 1993; Wootton, 1997) or derive appropriate metrics from energy flow patterns (Moore et al., 1993; Raffaelli and Hall, 1996; Hall et al., 2000).”
Food webs in tropical Australian streams: shredders are not scarce (2005, background): “To our knowledge only one study ( Hall, Wallace & Eggert, 2000 ) has attempted to address this problem by integrating binary and flow approaches.”
MEASUREMENT OF INTERACTION STRENGTH IN NATURE (2005, background): “These metrics include magnitudes of energy or elemental flow through ecosystems (e.g., Hall et al. 2000), the magnitudes of path coefficients in structural equation models (Gough & Grace 1999, Wootton 1994), and the transitions among sessile species in Markov chain A nn u.”
Food web structure and the role of epilithic biofilms in cave streams (2003, background): “E-mail: simonks@jmu.edu (McCutchan and Lewis 2002) and bacteria (Hall et al. 2000), can contribute significantly to food webs of shaded streams.”
Linking stream habitats and spider distribution: spatial variations in trophic transfer across a forest–stream boundary (2007, background): “Thus, aquatic insect assemblages appear to be maintained primarily by allochthonous inputs of terrestrial organic matter (see Wallace et al. 1997; Hall et al. 2000; Finlay 2001).”
Foodweb structure in a tropical Asian forest stream (2004, background): “…gut content data indicate that food webs of many forested streams are based on allochthonous foods (Yule 1996, Tavares-Cromar and Williams 1996, Hall et al. 2000), stable isotope studies have provided evidence of the importance of autochthonous resources in these habitats (Rosenfeld and Roff…”
Importance of the riparian zone to the conservation and management of freshwater fish: a review (2003, background): “Wood itself may be an important source of carbon when leaf litter is in short supply (Hall et al. 2000), its decomposition contributing significantly to supplies of dissolved organic matter and fine particulate organic matter (Ward and Aumen 1986).”
Conservation from the bottom up: forecasting effects of global change on dynamics of organic matter and management needs for river networks (2011, background): “Loading of terrestrial organic matter is critical to fundamental ecosystem processes and stream food webs (Wallace et al. 1999, Hall et al. 2000).”
