LINKING BENTHIC ALGAL BIOMASS TO STREAM SUBSTRATUM TOPOGRAPHY 1 (2007, background): “Micrometer-scale surface irregularities such as pits, crevices, and protrusions can also reduce algal susceptibility to grazing and scouring (Lubchenco 1983, Bergey 1999, Bergey and Weaver 2004) and alter diffusion boundary layer thickness (Vogel 1994, Dade et al. 2001, Dodds and Biggs 2002).”
THE ROLE OF PERIPHYTON IN PHOSPHORUS RETENTION IN SHALLOW FRESHWATER AQUATIC SYSTEMS (2003, background): “Attenuation coefficients ( ) range from 0.29 – 0.96 mm 1 according to the relationship U z U z-d e z where U z is water velocity at depth z , and U zd is water velocity at a known depth above point depth z, but still within the mass (Dodds and Biggs 2002).”
Quantifying habitat structure: surface convolution and living space for species in complex environments (2008, result): “These results support the hypothesis that more complex structures have a greater amount of refuge from predation and/or physical disturbance (Heck and Crowder 1991, Dodds and Biggs 2002).”
DIVERSITY–PRODUCTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS IN STREAMS VARY AS A FUNCTION OF THE NATURAL DISTURBANCE REGIME (2005, background): “An exception was stream size, with streams in the LD study group tending to be wider, deeper, and having a larger drainage area than those of the HD streams (Table 1).”
Harmful Algal Blooms (2015, background): “Velocity attenuation coefficients of 0.3-0.5 mm−1 were described for dense mats of Ulothrix, indicating that 3-4 mm within the mat, surface velocities were attenuated by >90% (Dodds and Biggs, 2002).”
Consumer effects decline with prey diversity (2004, background): “…benthic producer species have been demonstrated experimentally; most occur when algae retard flow or induce turbulence near a substrate in ways that enhance the capture of resources or facilitate colonization of other species (Stevenson & Glover 1993; Escartin & Aubrey 1995; Dodds & Biggs 2002).”
