Lignicolous freshwater fungi along a north-south latitudinal gradient in the Asian/Australian region; can we predict the impact of global warming on biodiversity and function? (2016, background): “Most stream biologists will be poignantly aware of the important role Ingoldian fungi play in leaf decomposition and the uniqueness of the tetraradiate and sigmoid leaf-inhabiting fungal propagules (Crowl et al., 2006; B€arlocher et al., 2012; Ferreira et al., 2012; B€arlocher and Sridhar, 2014).”
Macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups in Kenyan highland streams: evidence for a diverse shredder guild (2014, background): “…invertebrates in tropical streams is important to understand organic-matter processing, energy flow, trophic relationships, and the management actions needed to minimize the impairment of ecosystem functioning (Benstead and Pringle 2004, Dudgeon 2010, Boyero et al. 2011a, b, Ferreira et al. 2012).”
Leaf litter traits predominantly control litter decomposition in streams worldwide (2018, background): “:P ratios), structural compounds (e.g., lignin and cellulose), secondary compounds (e.g., tannins and polyphe‐ nols) (Ferreira et al., 2012; García‐Palacios, Mckie, Handa, Frainer, & Hättenschwiler, 2016; Lecerf & Chauvet, 2008; Ostrofsky, 1997).”
