Relationships between structure and function in streams contrasting in temperature (2009, background): “that periphyton is both highly controlled by top-down (grazing) and bottom-up (nutrients) mechanisms (Hillebrand, 2002) so one explanation for the lack of a relationship with temperature could be a difference in grazing pressure.”
Effects of phosphorus enrichment and grazing snails on modern stromatolitic microbial communities (2005, background): “Indeed, meta-analyses have indicated considerable variation among different ecosystems, both within and beyond the benthos, in the relative impacts of herbivores (Cebrian, 1999; Hillebrand, 2002).”
Spatial heterogeneity increases the importance of species richness for an ecosystem process (2009, background): “Molluscan grazers are important consumers of primary producers in both freshwater (Steinman 1996) and marine (Hillebrand 2002) environments and have the potential to control both the productivity and standing stock of algae (Hawkins and Hartnoll 1983).”
Consumer effects decline with prey diversity (2004, methodology): “The effect of consumers on freshwater and marine periphyton has been addressed in numerous experimental studies (see reviews by Feminella & Hawkins 1995; Steinman 1996; Hillebrand 2002).”
Neotropical tadpoles influence stream benthos: evidence for the ecological consequences of decline in amphibian populations (2004, unknown): “…Wallace et al., 1991; Chung, Wallace & Grubaugh, 1993; Whiles, Wallace & Chung, 1993) and primary production (e.g. Rosemond, Pringle & Ramı́rez, 1998; Hillebrand, 2002; Taylor, McIntosh & Peckarsky, 2002), and similar patterns are evident for fishes (e.g. Power, 1984, 1990; Gido & Matthews, 2001).”
Delivery and cycling of phosphorus in rivers: a review. (2008, unknown): “, 2008), with the relative abundance of benthic algae and phytoplankton being determined by the peak flow magnitude/frequency, water residence time, and grazing activities (Biggs, 2000; Biggs et al., 2000; Hillebrand, 2002).”
