- Natural variation in immersion and emersion affects breakdown and invertebrate colonization of leaf litter in a temporary river (2011, background): “Shredding invertebrates have a major role in litter breakdown in some, but not all rivers (Rounick and Winterbourn 1983; Gonçalves et al. 2007).”
- A conceptual model of litter breakdown in low order streams (2015, unknown): “, 2003), aquatic hyphomycete biomass and diversity seem to be low in some streams outside the temperate zones, such as in the Brazilian Cerrado (Gonçalves et al., 2007), the Ecuadorian Andes (Encalada et al.”
- Leaf litter traits predominantly control litter decomposition in streams worldwide (2018, background): “…of this structural defensive compound, which confers toughness on leaf litter, protects the litter from microbial degradation and invertebrate consumption and constitutes waterproofing properties of plant cell walls, slowing down physical abrasion (Gonçalves et al., 2007; Tonin et al., 2014).”
