- The importance of high-quality algal food sources in stream food webs - current status and future perspectives (2016, background): “…base of food webs and the main driver of consumer production in temperate rivers (Torres-Ruiz et al., 2007; Descroix et al., 2010), arid rivers (Bunn et al., 2003), tropical inland rivers (March & Pringle, 2003) and also tropical forest and headwater streams (Brito et al., 2006; Lau et al., 2009a).”
- Are autochthonous foods more important than allochthonous resources to benthic consumers in tropical headwater streams? (2009, background): “…showing that autochthonous foods are the major energy source for aquatic consumers in tropical headwaters, even at shaded sites containing abundant terrestrial detritus (Salas and Dudgeon 2001, March and Pringle 2003, Mantel et al. 2004, Yam and Dudgeon 2005, Brito et al. 2006, Lau et al. 2008).”
- Trophic relationships in a tropical stream food web assessed by stable isotope analysis (2009, background): “The carbon signature of filamentous green algae was also in the range previously reported for other tropical freshwaters, varying from -19‰ to -30‰ (Forsberg et al., 1993; Parkyn, Collier & Hicks, 2001; Brito et al., 2006).”
- How important are terrestrial organic carbon inputs for secondary production in freshwater ecosystems (2017, background): “Stream studies suggest that even when allochthonous inputs greatly dominate invertebrate and fish production is very preferentially supported by algal basal resources (Brito et al., 2006; Bunn et al., 2003; Lau et al., 2009a; Mayer & Likens, 1987).”
