• Influence of forest cover and mesohabitat types on functional and taxonomic diversity of fish communities in Neotropical lowland streams (2012, background): “Vegetated habitats may also provide camouflage and cover to conceal prey (Padial et al. 2009), which could explain the occurrence of species exhibiting a carnivorous diet in deforested mesohabitats.”
• Effects of macrophyte heterogeneity and food availability on structural parameters of the macroinvertebrate community in a Pampean stream (2011, background): “…the physical structural heterogeneity, creates new microhabitats that can be occupied by invertebrates (Hutchens et al., 2004; Giorgi et al., 2005), and provides more refuge from predation thus reducing predator foraging success (Dionne & Folt, 1991; Warfe & Barmuta, 2004; Padial et al., 2009).”
