- Stable isotope analysis indicates microalgae as the predominant food source of fauna in a coastal forest stream, south‐east Brazil (2006, background): “Relatively little research of this kind has been published for small, forested tropical streams (but see Salas & Dudgeon 2001; March & Pringle 2003; Mantel et al. 2004; Douglas et al. 2005).”
- Are tropical streams really different? (2009, background): “Autochthonous algal-based resources also can be important in tropical stream food webs (March and Pringle 2003).”
- Are autochthonous foods more important than allochthonous resources to benthic consumers in tropical headwater streams? (2009, background): “…showing that autochthonous foods are the major energy source for aquatic consumers in tropical headwaters, even at shaded sites containing abundant terrestrial detritus (Salas and Dudgeon 2001, March and Pringle 2003, Mantel et al. 2004, Yam and Dudgeon 2005, Brito et al. 2006, Lau et al. 2008).”
- Trophic relationships in a tropical stream food web assessed by stable isotope analysis (2009, background): “In Caribbean island streams, animal communities are usually dominated by assemblages of fish and shrimp species whereas the abundance of aquatic insects is very small (Buzby, 1998; March & Pringle, 2003).”
- Foodweb structure in a tropical Asian forest stream (2004, background): “…isotopic signature higher than any other species of predatory invertebrates, such as the damselfly Euphaea decorata, and was 7.9‰ 15N-enriched relative to detritus, matching results for Macrobrachium spp. in Puerto Rico with .6.5‰ 15N-enrichment compared to leaf detritus (March and Pringle 2003).”
- The importance of high-quality algal food sources in stream food webs - current status and future perspectives (2016, background): “…base of food webs and the main driver of consumer production in temperate rivers (Torres-Ruiz et al., 2007; Descroix et al., 2010), arid rivers (Bunn et al., 2003), tropical inland rivers (March & Pringle, 2003) and also tropical forest and headwater streams (Brito et al., 2006; Lau et al., 2009a).”
