Nutrient Cycling by Animals in Freshwater Ecosystems (2002, background): “In tropical Puerto Rico streams, experimental exclusion of shrimp caused decreased leaf decay rates; increased accrual of organic matter, particulate C and particulate N; and increased C:N ratio in material accumulating on the stream bottom (Pringle et al. 1999, March et al. 2001).”
Shredders in Malaysia: abundance and richness are higher in cool upland tropical streams (2009, background): “Shrimps (Macrobrachium spp.) are important shredders in Neotropical streams (e.g., Crowl et al. 2001, March et al. 2001, Souza and Moulton 2005, Covich et al. 2006).”
Trophic relationships in a tropical stream food web assessed by stable isotope analysis (2009, background): “They exert a predation pressure on both the adjacent and lower levels (palaemonid shrimps) and appear as important processors of organic matter (mostly atyid and xiphocaridid shrimps) (March et al., 2001; Parkyn et al., 2001).”
Neotropical tadpoles influence stream benthos: evidence for the ecological consequences of decline in amphibian populations (2004, background): “macroconsumers, but allowed unrestricted access by small aquatic insects that were not affected (e.g. Pringle & Blake, 1994; March et al., 2001).”
Are tropical streams really different? (2009, background): “Some tropical streams that lack insect shredders host other shredding consumers, including fishes (Rosemond et al. 2001), shrimps and crabs (March et al. 2001, Dobson 2004), and prosobranch snails (Li and Dudgeon 2008a, Yule et al. 2009).”
Are autochthonous foods more important than allochthonous resources to benthic consumers in tropical headwater streams? (2009, background): “Recent research suggests that, although the xiphocarid shrimp, Xiphocaris elongata, is an effective detritus processor that ingests a significant amount of coarse particulate organic matter (March et al. 2001), most of its energy is derived from autochthonous C sources (March and Pringle 2003).”
Effects of freshwater shrimp assemblages on benthic communities along an altitudinal gradient of a tropical island stream (2002, background): “Adult shrimps differ in their distribution along the altitudinal gradient (March et al., 2001).”
River and wetland food webs in Australia's wet–dry tropics: general principles and implications for management (2005, background): “benthic sediments, detritus, nutrient demand and algae and invertebrate communities (Crowl et al. 2001; Flecker and Taylor 2004; Flecker et al. 2002; March et al. 2001; Pringle et al. 1999).”
Detritus, trophic dynamics and biodiversity (2004, background): “In addition, the species of detritivore (which species is present) affects detrital processing rates in streams (Pringle et al. 1999; Crowl et al. 2001; March et al. 2001 ) and decomposition processes in grasslands (Cragg & Bardgett 2001).”
Food Web Structure and Basal Resource Utilization along a Tropical Island Stream Continuum, Puerto Rico1 (2003, background): “…60 South Lincoln St., Washington, Pennsylvania 15301, U.S.A. e-mail: jmarch@washjeff.edu tinua (Hunte 1978, Marquet 1991, Fièvet et al. 2001, March et al. 2001) and play a major role in determining benthic community composition and the rate of organic matter processing (Pringle et al.…”
