• Litter decomposition in a Cerrado savannah stream is retarded by leaf toughness, low dissolved nutrients and a low density of shredders (2007, background): “In terms of FFG, our results from invertebrates recovered from leaves and the results of Wantzen & Wagner (2006) of invertebrates recovered from the benthos were comparable: on an average, collectors, predators and shredders corresponded to 44% ,2 5% and 1% of total macroinvertebrates in our experim”
• A conceptual model of litter breakdown in low order streams (2015, unknown): “Woodward et al. (2012) found a great variability in breakdown rates at intermediate dissolved nutrient concentrations, in contrast with the low breakdown rates at very high or very low nutrient concentrations.”
• Aquatic community structure across an Andes‐to‐Amazon fluvial gradient (2013, background): “…with tropical streams having lower overall abundance and diversity of specialized shredding insects (Irons et al., 1994; Dobson et al., 2002; Wantzen & Wagner, 2006) and greater abundance and diversity of decapods and fishes capable of consuming CPOM (Greathouse & Pringle, 2006; Lujan et…”
• Leaf Quality of Some Tropical and Temperate Tree Species as Food Resource for Stream Shredders (2010, background): “Our data, together with that reported in the literature on leaf toughness, may explain the observed lack of insect shredders in many tropical streams (GARTNER and CARDON, 2004; RUEDA-DELGADO et al., 2006; WANTZEN and WAGNER, 2006).”
