Existing in plenty: abundance, biomass and diversity of ciliates and meiofauna in small streams (2008, background): “This is a finding which has often been speculated on, but has not been demonstrated for the whole smallsized assemblage before ( Swan & Palmer, 2000 ).”
Streambed landscapes: evidence that stream invertebrates respond to the type and spatial arrangement of patches (2000, methodology): “Scaling-up of faunal abundances (from cores to site) should not have biased our search for a pattern since within a patch type in Goose Creek, small-scale aggregations of these fauna are typically less than the size of the corer we used (Hakenkamp 1997; Swan and Palmer 2000).”
Influence of habitat heterogeneity on the distribution of larval Pacific lamprey (Lampetra tridentata) at two spatial scales (2004, background): “…understanding factors influencing the distribution of benthic organisms (e.g. Lancaster & Hildrew, 1993; Palmer et al., 2000; Silver et al., 2000; Swan & Palmer, 2000), spatially explicit investigations of benthic organisms at large spatial scales are relatively uncommon (Rice, Greenwood &…”
