• Biotic interactions in freshwater benthic habitats (2010, background): “However, evaluations of predator impacts often must be done in enclosures, which can impose scaledependent artifacts related to dispersal rates of organisms into and out of enclosures (Cooper et al. 1990, Carpenter 1996, Englund and Cooper 2003).”
• Habitat heterogeneity and mammalian predator–prey interactions (2012, background): “…of kill rates at different spatial scales, allows the identification of the scale of observation at which habitat structure becomes relevant, which is well defined by Englund & Cooper (2003) as ‘the smallest scale of spatial variation in a driving variable which affects the outcome of the process’.”
• Community photosynthesis of aquatic macrophytes (2006, background): “Understanding how photosynthesis responds to light at the proper ecological scale is therefore essential for our knowledge of ecosystem processes (Jarvis 1995; Englund and Cooper 2003).”
• MEASUREMENT OF INTERACTION STRENGTH IN NATURE (2005, background): “Experiments in which all aspects except scale remain constant are needed in future empirical evaluations of this question (e.g., Englund & Cooper 2003).”
• Causes and consequences of invertebrate drift in running waters: from individuals to populations and trophic fluxes (2016, background): “Spatial scale should therefore be given careful consideration when interpreting both descriptive and experimental studies of densitydependent drift (Englund and Cooper 2003;Melbourne and Chesson 2005).”
