• Detritus processing, ecosystem engineering and benthic diversity: a test of predator–omnivore interference (2004, background): “Although we cannot separate these two processes, in terms of trophic and engineering effects, the engineering activity of crayfish was probably the primary process that reduced existing organic matter in leaf packs in the crayfish troughs ( Statzner et al . 2000, 2003 ).”
• Understanding the impact of invasive crayfish (2007, background): “In experimental flumes, Statzner et al. (2000, 2003) showed that O. limosus at a fixed biomass (174 g m 2) significantly affected sand and gravel erosion.”
• Functional significance of crayfish in stream food webs: roles of omnivory, substrate heterogeneity and sex (2002, background): “1998), crayfish can nevertheless remove large quantities of biofilms non-trophically, along with other organic and inorganic sediment, through walking and tail flicking activities (Statzner et al. 2000).”
• Ecosystem engineering by crayfish in a headwater stream community (2004, background): “Statzner et al. (2000) also reported significant effects of crayfish on the downstream transport of larger sediment particles such as gravel.”
• Alien species in fresh waters: ecological effects, interactions with other stressors, and prospects for the future (2010, background): “Crayfish have been shown to increase rates of sediment suspension and transport (e.g., Statzner et al., 2000 ).”
• Exotic crayfish in a brown water stream: effects on juvenile trout, invertebrates and algae (2003, background): “The effects of crayfish bioturbation on algal communities may also depend on substratum type as shown by Statzner et al. (2000).”
