Environmental correlates of plant and invertebrate species richness in ponds (2011, background): “The presence of fish has strong effects on benthic invertebrate community structure (Gilliam et al. 1989), body size distributions (Blumenshine et al. 2000) and abundance (Bendell and McNicol 1995).”
Body size and substrate association of littoral insects in relation to vegetation structure (2003, background): “However, Blumenshine et al. (2000) found the size distribution of the macroinvertebrate community to change along the gradient of consumption rate by fish.”
Trophic interactions in Zostera marina beds along the Swedish coast (2008, background): “Size-specific fish predation on amphipods has been found to cause a shift in the population size structure towards smaller individuals in many aquatic systems (Edgar & Aoki 1993, Blumenshine et al. 2000), including the eelgrass beds along the Swedish west coast (Moksnes et al. 2008).”
The effects of environmental warming on Odonata: a review (2008, background): “However, fish also suppress large macroinvertebrate populations (Dorn 2008) including Odonata (Bendell & McNicol 1995; Feuchtmayr et al. 2007; Henrickson 1988) and fish predation affects the size of macroinvertebrates (Blumenshine et al. 2000).”
Nutrient Cycling by Animals in Freshwater Ecosystems (2002, background): “Effects Via Size-Selective Predation Predation by fish and invertebrates can shift the size distributions of prey assemblages (Brooks & Dodson 1965, Blumenshine et al. 2000).”
Coupled energy pathways and the resilience of size-structured food webs (2011, result): “Benthic–pelagic coupling is also an important feature of freshwater lake communities where field studies have shown that steeper benthic size spectrum slopes arise from higher levels of fish predation, consistent with the results shown here (Blumenshine et al. 2000).”
Exploring fish community dynamics through size dependent trophic interactions using a spatialized individual based model (2001, background): “there may be fewer competitive links, but those may be more intense (Kerr, 1974; Gulland, 1982; Blumenshine et al. 2000).”
