Effects of structural heterogeneity provided by the floating macrophyte Eichhornia azurea on the predation efficiency and habitat use of the small Neotropical fish Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae (2009, background): “However, some studies have suggested that the high structural heterogeneity provided by aquatic plants also protects invertebrates against predation by small fish (Rantala et al., 2004; Meerhoff et al., 2006, 2007a ).”
Macrophytes as refuge or risky area for zooplankton: a balance set by littoral predacious macroinvertebrates (2009, background): “A comparison of warm and temperate lakes showed that DHM occurred only in cold temperate lakes (Danish lakes) (Meerhoff et al., 2007a,b).”
Ecological Networks in a Changing Climate (2010, background): “Interspecific interactions within food webs or other types of multi-species ecological networks have been largely ignored within the context of climate change research (but see Emmerson et al., 2005a; Harmon et al., 2009; Ims and Fuglei, 2005; Meerhoff et al., 2007; Woodward et al., 2010a).”
Climate Change and the Future of Freshwater Biodiversity in Europe: A Primer for Policy-Makers (2009, background): “Comparative analyses of lakes in Europe, Florida and Uruguay, however, indicate an increase in many symptoms of eutrophication, even if plants are present, and loss of water clarity (Jeppesen et al., 2007, Meerhoff et al., 2007).”
Mesocosm Experiments as a Tool for Ecological Climate-Change Research (2013, background): “…in smaller arenas alongside complementary work from models (De Senerpont Domis et al., 2007; Veraart et al., 2011), long-term monitoring (Christensen et al., 2006), space-for-time substitution (Meerhoff et al., 2007; Moss et al., 2004), and paleoecology (Battarbee et al., 2005) in lentic systems.”
Biomanipulation as a restoration tool to combat eutrophication : recent advances and future challenges (2012, background): “…hypothesis of higher fish predation as a key factor in shaping the zooplankton size structure in warm lakes (Fernando, 2002; Jeppesen et al., 2007; Meerhoff et al., 2007a,b), occurrence of large Daphnia spp. in subtropical lakes, has been associated with the absence of fish (Iglesias et al.,…”
Impacts of climate warming on lake fish community structure and potential effects on ecosystem function (2010, background): “Similarly, in a comparative study of fish community structure and dynamics in plant beds between subtropical and temperate shallow lakes (Meerhoff et al., 2007a; Teixeira-de Mello et al., 2009), the subtropical littoral fish communities had a substantially lower proportion of potential piscivores…”
High predation is of key importance for dominance of small-bodied zooplankton in warm shallow lakes: evidence from lakes, fish exclosures and surface sediments (2011, methodology): “However, our results add strong evidence to the hypothesis that higher predation (Jeppesen et al., 2005), mostly from fish ( Meerhoff et al., 2007b; Iglesias et al., 2008; Mazzeo et al., 2010), but potentially also from some macroinvertebrates (Trochine et al., 2006 ;I glesias et al.,2007 ;G onzale”
Comparison of cyanobacterial and green algal growth rates at different temperatures (2013, background): “Higher predation by fish under warmer conditions most probably plays an important role (Meerhoff et al., 2007; Jeppesen et al., 2010).”
