- Can warm climate‐related structure of littoral predator assemblies weaken the clear water state in shallow lakes? (2007, background): “Concomitantly, aquatic plants seem to offer a poor refuge for large-bodied zooplankton in warm lakes (Meerhoff et al., 2003, 2006), and this may potentially have consequences at the ecosystem level.”
- Effects of structural heterogeneity provided by the floating macrophyte Eichhornia azurea on the predation efficiency and habitat use of the small Neotropical fish Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae (2009, background): “However, some studies have suggested that the high structural heterogeneity provided by aquatic plants also protects invertebrates against predation by small fish (Rantala et al., 2004; Meerhoff et al., 2006, 2007a).”
- Effects of habitat complexity on community structure and predator avoidance behaviour of littoral zooplankton in temperate versus subtropical shallow lakes (2007, background): “In laboratory behavioural experiments, Daphnia avoided free-floating plants more than submerged plants, although all plant types were avoided even in the presence of alarm signals from crushed conspecifics (Meerhoff et al., 2006).”
- Biomanipulation as a restoration tool to combat eutrophication : recent advances and future challenges (2012, background): “…diurnal refuge potential of aquatic plants for large zooplankton against visual-feeder fishes, which is often seen in temperate shallow lakes (Burks et al., 2002; Timms and Moss, 1984), is almost absent in warm lakes (Iglesias et al., 2007; Meerhoff et al., 2006, 2007b; Tavsanoğlu et al., 2012).”
- High predation is of key importance for dominance of small-bodied zooplankton in warm shallow lakes: evidence from lakes, fish exclosures and surface sediments (2011, background): “…temperate lakes (Burks et al., 2002), submerged macrophytes are apparently not an efficient daytime refuge for zooplankton in subtropical lakes (Meerhoff et al., 2006), as fish abundance, and thus predation among the plants, is high (Meerhoff et al., 2007a), which enhances the predation risk…”
