Existing in plenty: abundance, biomass and diversity of ciliates and meiofauna in small streams (2008, background): “Substrate complexity can influence productivity and respiration of benthic biofilms, which contain algae and heterotrophic organisms, including many ciliate and meiofaunal taxa (Cardinale et al., 2002).”
Net spinning caddisflies as stream ecosystem engineers: the influence of Hydropsyche on benthic substrate stability (2004, unknown): “Key-words : Benthic particle erosion, Hydropsychidae, lotic ecosystems, Trichoptera Functional Ecology (2004) 18 , 381–387”
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE VARIANCE AROUND THE MEAN EFFECT SIZE OF ECOLOGICAL PROCESSES: COMMENT (2005, background): “…variables such as density of consumers (Butler 1989, Ruel and Ayers 1999, Benedetti-Cecchi 2000), irradiance (Ruel and Ayers 1999), heterogeneity of the substratum (Cardinale et al. 2002) and concentration of nutrients (Hutchings et al. 2003), can elicit strong responses in dependent variables.”
Creating complex habitats for restoration and reconciliation (2015, methodology): “diameter84/diameter50 in Cardinale et al., 2002) as well as “habitat types” based either on mineral substrate or plant matter (e.g. boulders, gravel, emergent plants, woody debris, etc. in Harper et al., 1997). To use the informational complexity terms we defined earlier, the parameter being modifie”
TROPICAL FISHES AS BIOLOGICAL BULLDOZERS: DENSITY EFFECTS ON RESOURCE HETEROGENEITY AND SPECIES DIVERSITY (2004, methodology): “…implications for population dynamics, community structure, and ecosystem processes (e.g., Pickett and White 1985, Pringle et al. 1988, Kolasa and Pickett 1991, Naeem and Colwell 1991, Levin 1992, Palmer and Poff 1997, Hutchings et al. 2000, Wiens 2000, Cardinale et al. 2002, and many others).”
Habitat complexity: approaches and future directions (2011, background): “Cardinale et al. (2002) manipulated the range of sediments sizes in patches of stream, increasing substrate heterogeneity, and found corresponding increases in near-bed velocity and turbulence which led to increased rates of benthic metabolism and primary productivity.”
The terrestrial biota prior to the origin of land plants (embryophytes): a review of the evidence (2015, background): “Clays in modern settings help provide heterogeneous substrates (Cardinale et al. 2002) that interact with dissolved organic and inorganic components of standing and running water in addition to direct ion exchange with prokaryotic biofilms.”
DIVERSITY–PRODUCTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS IN STREAMS VARY AS A FUNCTION OF THE NATURAL DISTURBANCE REGIME (2005, methodology): “…the balance of positive and negative interactions that regulate per capita resource capture (Mulder et al. 2001, Cardinale and Palmer 2002, Cardinale et al. 2002) and (2) alters rates of dispersal that determine the number of species and rate of biomass accrual in a recovering site…”
DISTURBANCE MODERATES BIODIVERSITY-ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION RELATIONSHIPS: EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FROM CADDISFLIES IN STREAM MESOCOSMS (2002, background): “Taken together, it follows that biophysical complexity associated with species diversity could play an important role in regulating neighbor interactions and resource capture in aquatic benthic communities (Cardinale et al. 2002a).”
