Global patterns of freshwater species diversity, threat and endemism (2013, background): “Our findings emphasize the need for a greater understanding of the status of freshwater biodiversity, and its distribution across the globe, particularly of important functional communities such as detritivores or shredders (e.g. Boyero et al., 2012).”
Macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups in Kenyan highland streams: evidence for a diverse shredder guild (2014, background): “Water temperature and leaf-litter characteristics are globally important factors affecting shredder abundance and diversity (Boyero et al. 2011a, b).”
A conceptual model of litter breakdown in low order streams (2015, unknown): “Boyero et al. (2011b) suggested that factors other than temperature likely influenced litter breakdown rates across sites at a global scale and accounted for the considerable residual variability observed.”
