Climate Change and the Future of Freshwater Biodiversity in Europe: A Primer for Policy-Makers (2009, background): “Aerial insects trapped at the water surface provide food for fish whilst riparian forest spiders, beetles, bats and birds may depend on the emergence of stream insects (Kato et al., 2003; Fukui et al., 2006).”
Linking stream habitats and spider distribution: spatial variations in trophic transfer across a forest–stream boundary (2007, methodology): “…in cool–temperate riparian deciduous forests, the aquatic prey contribution to the diets of riparian predators (e.g., birds and spiders) decreases from spring to summer, as aquatic insect flux decreases and terrestrial arthropod production increases (Nakano and Murakami 2001; Kato et al. 2003).”
Tangled webs: reciprocal flows of invertebrate prey link streams and riparian zones (2005, background): “Similarly, Kato et al. (2003) used a mesh-covered greenhouse to exclude emerging aquatic insects from the riparian zone of Horonai Stream.”
Prey use by web-building spiders: stable isotope analyses of trophic flow at a forest-stream ecotone (2004, background): “This is supported by the diet data collected by a previous study in this riparian forest (Kato et al. 2003) which showed that aquatic detritivores (Ephemera japonica, Nemouridae spp. and Leuctridae spp.) and predators (Perlodidae spp., Chloroperlidae spp., Rhyacophila spp., Tanypodinae spp. and…”
Consumer-specific responses to riverine subsidy pulses in a riparian arthropod assemblage (2006, background): “The degree of specialisation on aquatic insect emergence also appears to influence the distribution pattern of different web-building spiders (Kato et al., 2003).”
