• Wildlife in a changing world : an analysis of the 2008 IUCN red list of threatened species (2009, background): “Sedimentation results from the high degree of deforestation and regular burning of grasses on the ‘pseudo-steppe’ (Benstead et al. 2003).”
• Freshwater biodiversity: importance, threats, status and conservation challenges (2006, background): “…in tropical fresh waters do not exist, but high levels of local endemism and species richness seem typical of several major groups, including decapod crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic insects such as caddisflies and mayflies (Dudgeon, 1999, 2000 c ; Benstead et al., 2003; Strayer et al., 2004).”
• Fish conservation in freshwater and marine realms: status, threats and management (2016, background): “For example, 60% of Madagascar's native fishes are affected by sedimentation of aquatic habitats resulting from deforestation and regular burning of grasses on the pseudo-steppe (Benstead et al., 2003).”
• The effects of introduced tilapias on native biodiversity (2005, background): “Madagascar is important as a centre of endemism for many groups of organisms, including several freshwater taxa.”
• Global diversity of mayflies (Ephemeroptera, Insecta) in freshwater (2007, background): “Madagascar, Borneo) (Benstead et al., 2003; Benstead & Pringle, 2004; Dudgeon, 2000a, 2000b) whereas pollution (Rosenberg & Resh, 1993) and/or building and reshaping of the banks leading to a lack of connectivity with the floodplain (Buijse et al.”
