• Foodweb structure in a tropical Asian forest stream (2004, background): “Food webs in aquatic environments generally have short food chains with 3 to 4 links, consistent predator–prey ratios, and scale-independent proportions of top, intermediate, and basal elements (Hall and Raffaelli 1993, but see Schmid-Araya et al. 2002a).”
• Trophic relationships in a tropical stream food web assessed by stable isotope analysis (2009, background): “As reported for other tropical stream food webs (Schmid-Araya et al., 2002), a dominance of omnivorous species was observed here, compared to a lower diversity of herbivorous and carnivorous organisms.”
• Food webs in tropical Australian streams: shredders are not scarce (2005, unknown): “� 2005 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Freshwater Biology, 50, 748‐769 major floods ( Rosser & Pearson, 1995 ).”
• The Network Structure of Food Webs (2005, unknown): “Using a set of 22 stream food webs with 22 to 212 species, Schmid-Araya et al. (2002) reported b = 1.30, lower than the value of b = 1.36 for the 113 web catalog, as well as relatively low C that ranges from 0.03 to 0.12.”
• Scaling of Food-Web Properties with Diversity and Complexity Across Ecosystems (2010, background): “In contrast, increasing species richness in stream communities was correlatedwith decreases in connectance, whichmight be partially explained by variations in habitat complexity (Schmid-Araya et al., 2002).”
• Body size in ecological networks. (2005, background): “Supporting evidence has come recently from studies of benthic stream food webs that include three unimodal portions of the community size spectrum (diatoms, meiofauna and macroinvertebrates), and which have lower connectance than is typical of food webs that are restricted to more truncated portions”
