The effects of amphibian population declines on the structure and function of Neotropical stream ecosystems (2006, background): “This positive response of mayflies to the activities of larger grazers has also been observed in Puerto Rican streams, where atyid shrimp have been observed to facilitate the exploitation of algal resources by Baetid mayflies (Pringle et al. 1993; March et al. 2002).”
Neotropical tadpoles influence stream benthos: evidence for the ecological consequences of decline in amphibian populations (2004, background): “…this result seems counterintuitive, some other studies have also shown positive relationships where grazers enhanced the quality or availability of food resources for others (Feminella & Resh, 1991; Gelwick & Matthews, 1992; Pringle et al., 1993; Creed, 1994; Flecker, 1996; March et al., 2002).”
Food Web Structure and Basal Resource Utilization along a Tropical Island Stream Continuum, Puerto Rico1 (2003, background): “All of these shrimp species undergo extended larval development and are amphidromous (Covich & McDowell 1996, Johnson et al. 1998); adult females release planktonic larvae that drift downstream to the estuary (March et al. 1998).”
