Freshwater food webs: towards a more fundamental understanding of biodiversity and community dynamics (2012, background): “…and analysed replicate food webs along various kinds of gradients related to environmental stress, seasonality, disturbance, climate and resource supply (e.g. Townsend et al., 1998, Rosi-Marshall & Wallace, 2002, Schmid-Araya et al., 2002; Baiser, Russell & Lockwood, 2011, Layer et al., 2011).”

Meiofauna enhances organic matter mineralization in soft sediment ecosystems (2012, background): “Although meiofauna are known to be relatively important in freshwater systems (Goedkoop and Johnson 1996; Schmid-Araya et al. 2002), data from a few marine systems studies estimate their direct importance to be limited (De Mesel et al. 2006; UrbanMalinga and Moens 2006) and their direct grazing…”
