• Biotic interactions in freshwater benthic habitats (2010, background): “Herbivory sometimes can have an indirect stimulatory effect on grazed periphytic residues by increasing space availability and light and nutrient penetration (Brönmark 1989, McCormick and Stevenson 1989, McCormick 1994, Flecker et al. 2002).”
• River and wetland food webs in Australia's wet–dry tropics: general principles and implications for management (2005, background): “benthic sediments, detritus, nutrient demand and algae and invertebrate communities (Crowl et al. 2001; Flecker and Taylor 2004; Flecker et al. 2002; March et al. 2001; Pringle et al. 1999).”
• Ecological stoichiometry in freshwater benthic systems: recent progress and perspectives (2005, background): “Flecker et al. (2002) and Davis & Minshall (1999) report SW)N : SW)P ratios of 0.6 and 1.5–4.9, respectively, suggesting that N was limiting in the former and P in the latter case.”
• Overfishing of Inland Waters (2005, background): “Sediment grazing by fishes altered abundances of attached algae and the response of algae to limiting nutrients in an Andean piedmont river in Venezuela (Flecker et al. 2002).”
• Attached Algae: The Cryptic Base of Inverted Trophic Pyramids in Freshwaters (2017, background): “Algivores dominate fish assemblages in tropical waters (Vadeboncoeur et al. 2011) and strongly reduce attached algal biomass (Power 1984a, Flecker et al. 2002).”
• Stoichiometry of nutrient recycling by vertebrates in a tropical stream: linking species identity and ecosystem processes (2002, background): “During the dry season, when this study was conducted, algae in Rio Las Marıàs are nutrientlimited (Flecker et al. 2002), and nutrient excretion by fish may represent a substantial fraction of the N and P needed to sustain algal productivity (Hood 2000).”
