Evidence for the assimilation of ancient glacier organic carbon in a proglacial stream food web (2015, background): “The large contribution of biofilm to Baetis and Chironomid midge diets was not surprising because biofilm is considered to be a preferred food source to invertebrate grazers (Milner and Petts 1994; Battin et al. 2003), even in proglacial streams (F€ureder et al. 2003; Clitherow et al. 2013).”
The role of molecular genetics in sculpting the future of integrative biogeography (2008, background): “…environmental manipulations, inclusion of functional genotypes in molecular analyses, and selective in situ sampling of community composition (e.g. Battin et al., 2003; Hewson and Fuhrman, 2006; Yasumoto-Hirose et al., 2006) are addressing this issue and undoubtedly will in time explain why,…”
Assessing the importance of a self-generated detachment process in river biofilm models (2006, background): “Epilithic biomass removal by autogenic sloughing and grazing typically occurs with increasing time since the last disturbance (Leff et al., 1994; Biggs, 1996; Lawrence et al., 2002; Battin et al., 2003).”
Influence of slight differences in environmental conditions (light, hydrodynamics) on the structure and function of periphyton (2009, background): “This facilitates the transfer of solutes from the water column into periphyton (Battin et al. 2003a), which can alter the metabolism of the microbial community.”
Comparative effect of temperature on biofilm formation in natural and modified marine environment (2010, background): “Anthropogenic activities (e.g., large industries) affect aquatic environment in many ways viz., synthetic and waste materials may be discharged to the water, the hydrological regime may be altered and physical or chemical nature of water may be changed ( Bamber 1990; Langford 1990).”
Oil shale industry wastewater: impact on river microbial community and possibilities for bioremediation (2004, background): “Biofilm growth increases hydrodynamic transient storage (streamwater detained in quiescent zones) and the retention of suspended particles as well as enhances the relative uptake of organic molecules of lower bioavailability (Battin et al., 2003).”
Plant–microbe interaction in aquatic system and their role in the management of water quality: a review (2017, background): “…cycling (nitrification, denitrification, sulfate reduction, methanogenesis and metal ion reduction) and energy flow in aquatic ecosystem, as a feed of the zooplanktons, altering water quality and degrading the environmental pollutants (Cotner and Biddanda 2002; Battin et al. 2003; Hahn 2006).”
Lotic biofilm community structure and pesticide tolerance along a contamination gradient in a vineyard area (2007, background): “…WORDS: Biofilms · Community structure · Community tolerance · Pesticides · Vineyard area Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisher Aquat Microb Ecol 50: 91–102, 2007 cantly to nutrient cycling in such environments (Battin et al. 2003).”
Viruses in aquatic ecosystems: important advancements of the last 20 years and prospects for the future in the field of microbial oceanography and limnology (2010, background): “Recent research indicates that, particularly in running water environments, biofilms may contribute significantly to ecosystem processes [229].”
