How aquatic insects live in cold climates (2007, background): “…widely with latitude and depends on the habitat features already noted, especially productivity, habitat complexity, hydrological disturbance, channel stability, and freezing (e.g., Lee and Hershey 2000; Voelz and McArthur 2000; Vinson and Hawkins 2003; Huryn et al. 2005; Füreder et al. 2006).”

Global patterns of stream detritivore distribution: implications for biodiversity loss in changing climates (2012, background): “Studies of shredder diversity over broad spatial scales are, however, lacking, and global studies have shown that different stream taxa can exhibit different diversity patterns at both the local and regional scales (Vinson & Hawkins, 2003; Pearson & Boyero, 2009).”
Seasonal flow variation allows 'time-sharing' by disparate aquatic insect communities in montane desert streams (2007, background): “While these families are present in temperate streams, they increase in diversity and dominance in neotropical streams (Usinger, 1956; Menke, 1969; Vinson & Hawkins, 2003 ) and can thus be considered characteristic of Sierra Madre streams.”
Global patterns of freshwater species diversity, threat and endemism (2013, background): “There have been notable studies of biotic diversity at a regional scale (e.g. Heino et al., 2002; Pearson & Boyero, 2009) and at other taxonomic levels (e.g. genera; Vinson & Hawkins, 2003), but global-scale analyses that synthesize information across taxonomic groups remain limited in number.”
Challenges for freshwater invertebrate conservation (2006, background): “Of particular interest, the few studies that have been done suggest that the tropics do not support especially diverse communities of freshwater invertebrates (e.g., Lévêque 2001, Vinson and Hawkins 2003), although this question is far from settled.”
Biodiversity of the wetlands of the Kakadu Region, northern Australia (2006, methodology): “Nevertheless, mayfl y (Ephemeroptera) and caddisfl y (Trichoptera) data have been used in comparative global zoogeographical studies (Vinson and Hawkins, 2003), while Cranston (2000) reported high diversity of chironomid fl ies in both”
Toward More Integrated Ecosystem Research in Aquatic and Terrestrial Environments (2015, background): “Vinson and Hawkins (2003) showed that stream insect genera richness increased with mean NDVI at the global scale, even though at large productivity values, genus richness values tended to show large among-site variation.”
