- Effects of habitat complexity on community structure and predator avoidance behaviour of littoral zooplankton in temperate versus subtropical shallow lakes (2007, result): “In agreement with previous suggestions (Dumont, 1994; Fernando, 2002), our results therefore support the hypothesis that higher predation pressure in warmer lakes is the key factor for the observed patterns in the assemblage compo-”
- 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): “In subtropical and tropical lakes, small zooplankters are particularly dominant, even at low nutrient concentrations (Fernando et al., 1987; Dumont, 1994; Meerhoff et al., 2007a; Havens et al., 2009).”
- An assessment of animal species diversity in continental waters (2005, background): “Data on freshwater pulmonate species richness are lacking for South America (56 species in Argentina; Ituarte, pers. com.) and Asia (285 species in South East Asia of which 200 species are from India; Naggs, in prep.).”
- Temporal and spatial distribution of microcrustacean zooplankton in relation to turbidity and other environmental factors in a large tropical lake (L. Tana, Ethiopia) (2004, background): “Diversity of the limnetic cladocerans is relatively high in L. Tana as compared with other African Lakes and reservoirs (cf. Dumont, 1994; Marshall, 1997: Table 4), but diversity of copepods is relatively low (cf. Marshall, 1997: Table 4).”
- Body size in freshwater planktonic crustaceans: an overview of extrinsic determinants and modifying influences of biotic interactions (2011, background): “Zaret, 1980; Kerfoot & Sih, 1987; Dumont et al., 1990) as to render its consideration here almost redundant. However, it remains of central importance to an overview of body size, with studies of chemically induced anti-predator defenses, generally outlined above (‘Influences of biological/ecologica”
