• An experimental study of habitat choice by Daphnia: plants signal danger more than refuge in subtropical lakes (2006, background): “Brendonck et al. (2003) also found a lower abundance of zooplankton under mats of E. crassipes than in open water in a subtropical lake in Zimbabwe.”
• Herbivory on aquatic vascular plants by the introduced golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) in Lao PDR (2005, background): “This is particularly true in the case of the invasive South American water hyacinth (Vashney and Roska 1976), even if dense mats of this plant seem to favor economically important fishes in some areas by providing shelter and feeding sites for juvenile fish ( Brendonck et al. 2003 ).”
• Impact of three aquatic invasive species on native plants and macroinvertebrates in temperate ponds (2011, background): “Similar cases of loss of native vegetation have been reported for the invasive Eichhornia crassipes in Lake Chivero, Zimbabwe (Brendonck et al. 2003).”
• Effects of structural heterogeneity provided by the floating macrophyte Eichhornia azurea on the predation efficiency and habitat use of the small Neotropical fish Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae (2009, result): “In spite of that, some researchers (e.g., Brendonck et al., 2003; Meerhoff et al., 2006, 2007b; Iglesias et al., 2008) have suggested that free-floating macrophytes do not play an important role as refuges for large zooplankton (e.g., cladocerans); however, they may be particularly important for…”
