Nutrient Cycling by Animals in Freshwater Ecosystems (2002, background): “In many lakes, most nutrients excreted by fish are derived from benthic/littoral food sources, indicating that fish translocate nutrients to pelagic habitats (Brabrand et al. 1990; Schindler et al. 1993, 2001; Schaus et al. 1997; Gido 2002).”
FAUNA OF YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK LAKES HAS LOW RESISTANCE BUT HIGH RESILIENCE TO FISH INTRODUCTIONS (2005, background): “Predictor variables included maximum water depth, elevation, littoral zone substrate composition, relative survey date, and a measure of trout density (catch per unit effort [CPUE] 5 number of trout captured per gill net per hour; Schindler et al. 2001).”
Individual, Population, Community, and Ecosystem Consequences of a Fish Invader in New Zealand Streams (2003, background): “Schindler et al. (2001) argue that this is the principal mechanism for increased phytoplankton productivity.”
Indirect facilitation of an anuran invasion by non‐native fishes (2003, background): “Organisms must possess special adaptations like small size, low-activity levels, or unpalatability to co-occur with fish, and fish predators alter pond trophic dynamics via a variety of direct and indirect pathways (Kats et al. 1988; Wellborn et al. 1996; Schindler et al. 2001 ).”
Impacts of Biological Invasions on Freshwater Ecosystems (2010, background): “Such studies have enhanced our understanding of trophic cascades, wherein the biomass of primary producers is altered through indirect food - web effects (Flecker & Townsend 1994 ; Nystr ö m et al. 2001 ; Schindler et al. 2001 ).”
There and back again: migration in freshwater fishes (2014, methodology): “In an attempt to quantify the overall fish effect on nutrient dynamics, Schindler et al. (2001) estimated the phosphorus regeneration rates to be 3.3 and 1.7 mg phosphorus·m−3·year−1 in lakes currently stocked with trout compared to unstocked lakes, respectively.”
Ecological Impacts of Nonnative Freshwater Fishes (2011, background): “Modification of Biochemical Cycles The introduction of predatory and omnivorous fish species can lead to strong modifications of nutrient (e.g., nitrogen and phosphorus) cycles by shifting the relative proportion of each trophic level (Schindler et al. 2001; Eby et al. 2006).”
Impacts of freshwater invaders at different levels of ecological organisation, with emphasis on salmonids and ecosystem consequences (2003, background): “As previously noted, trout introduced to fishless lakes enhance phosphorus recycling to the pelagic from the littoral zone (Leavitt et al., 1994; Schindler et al., 2001).”
Catastrophic Population Declines and Extinctions in Neotropical Harlequin Frogs (Bufonidae: Atelopus) 1 (2005, background): “In addition to direct effects, introduced predators can have indirect effects by affecting nutrient cycles and algae production (Schindler et al. 2001), which can alter growth and survival in some larval amphibians (Knapp & Matthews, 2000).”
Amphibians in the climate vise: loss and restoration of resilience of montane wetland ecosystems in the western US (2014, background): “Where trout or other introduced fish are present, many native species are excluded and entire ecosystems are dramatically altered (Knapp et al. 2001; Schindler et al. 2001).”
