Biological Diversity in Headwater Streams (2019, background): “The trophic roles of particular taxonomic groups are not the same globally, and many authors have noted that the aquatic insects that play a large role in detritivory in temperate regions may be replaced by decapods or fishes in tropical regions [45,46,54].”
Global patterns of stream detritivore distribution: implications for biodiversity loss in changing climates (2012, background): “Firstly, we have shown that the number of shredder species present at a given site (a-diversity) increases with latitude, confirming previous suggestions (Boyero et al., 2009).”
