The influence of littoral zone coarse woody habitat on home range size, spatial distribution, and feeding ecology of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) (2009, background): “1a) (Sass, 2004; Sass et al., 2006b).”
Effect of a change in physical structure and cover on fish and fish habitat in freshwater ecosystems – a review and meta-analysis (2007, background): “2001), but the importance of woody habitat to fishes is possibly underestimated; this is evident as more researchers assess wood as a potential habitat (Barwick 2004; Lewin et al. 2004; Brind’Amour et al. 2005; Sass et al. 2006).”
Whole-lake influences of littoral structural complexity and prey body morphology on fish predator–prey interactions (2006, background): “Littoral zone snorkelling surveys (Werner et al. 1977) in Little Rock Lake and gill net assessments have revealed that all perch, regardless of size, are confined to shallow waters less than 0.5 m deep and do not use pelagic areas of the lake (Sass 2004).”
Ecology of freshwater shore zones (2010, background): “Sass et al. (2006) removed most of the coarse woody debris from half of a Wisconsin lake, and found that populations of yellow perch fell drastically.”
