Effects of freshwater shrimp assemblages on benthic communities along an altitudinal gradient of a tropical island stream (2002, background): “, 1999), sediment cover (Pringle & Blake, 1994), and rates of litter processing (Crowl et al., 2001; March et al., 2001).”
Detritus processing by invertebrate shredders: a neotropical–temperate comparison (2006, background): “Macrocon- sumers, especially freshwater shrimps, have been reported from Central and South America (e.g., Pringle et al. 1993), Costa Rica (Crowl et al. 2001), and Amazonian streams (Henderson and Walker 1986).”
Detritus, trophic dynamics and biodiversity (2004, background): “In addition, the species of detritivore (which species is present) affects detrital processing rates in streams (Pringle et al. 1999; Crowl et al. 2001; March et al. 2001) and decomposition processes in grasslands (Cragg & Bardgett 2001).”
Nutrient Cycling by Animals in Freshwater Ecosystems (2002, background): “Another genus (Atya) increased leaf decay rate slightly but had no effect on downstream transport (because they consumed the fine particulates) or dissolved nutrients (Crowl et al. 2001).”
Stoichiometry of nutrient recycling by vertebrates in a tropical stream: linking species identity and ecosystem processes (2002, background): “Power et al. 1989; Power 1990; Flecker 1992, 1996; Pringle & Hamazaki 1998; Covich et al. 1999; Pringle et al. 1999; Crowl et al. 2001 ).”
Shredders in Malaysia: abundance and richness are higher in cool upland tropical streams (2009, background): “Shrimps (Macrobrachium spp.) are important shredders in Neotropical streams (e.g., Crowl et al. 2001, March et al. 2001, Souza and Moulton 2005, Covich et al. 2006).”
Effects of extreme low flows on freshwater shrimps in a perennial tropical stream. (2003, background): “There was a significant interaction effect for the percentage of gravid Xiphocaris (df ¼ 4,45; F ¼ 3.2; P < 0.01).”
Linking shrimp assemblages with rates of detrital processing along an elevational gradient in a tropical stream (2001, background): “However, few studies have examined experimentally their contribution to leaf litter decay (but see Parkyn et al. 1997; Rosemond et al. 1998; Crowl et al. 2001) or how it varies along stream continua.”
The Role of Biodiversity in the Functioning of Freshwater and Marine Benthic Ecosystems (2004, background): “…benthic studies have highlighted the importance of changes in species diversity in response to natural or anthropogenic perturbations leading to local, nonrandom species extinctions (Crowl et al. 2001, Huryn et al. 2002, Dangles and Chauvet 2003, Larned et al. 2003, Dangles and Malmqvist 2004).”
Leaf-litter breakdown in 3 streams in temperate, Mediterranean, and tropical Cerrado climates (2006, background): “Several recent studies have shown that invertebrate shredders have an important role in litter processing in some tropical systems (e.g., Crowl et al. 2001, 2006, Cheshire et al. 2005) and that tropical invertebrate shredders are selective feeders (Rincón and Martı́nez 2006).”
Leaf Quality of Some Tropical and Temperate Tree Species as Food Resource for Stream Shredders (2010, background): “It is also possible that organic matter processing in many tropical streams is carried out by non-insect shredders, which are not usually sampled by traditional methods and thus their role be underestimated (CROSS et al., 2008; CROWL et al., 2001).”
Food Web Structure and Basal Resource Utilization along a Tropical Island Stream Continuum, Puerto Rico1 (2003, background): “…Pennsylvania 15301, U.S.A. e-mail: jmarch@washjeff.edu tinua (Hunte 1978, Marquet 1991, Fièvet et al. 2001, March et al. 2001) and play a major role in determining benthic community composition and the rate of organic matter processing (Pringle et al. 1999, Crowl et al. 2001, March et al. 2001).”
The Stream Biome Gradient Concept: factors controlling lotic systems across broad biogeographic scales (2014, background): “The role of shrimp and crayfish in litter processing probably increases in forested tropical and temperate streams (Huryn and Wallace 1987, Crowl et al. 2001).”
