Impacts of climate warming on lake fish community structure and potential effects on ecosystem function (2010, background): “Small fish (both as species and individuals) aggregate in high numbers within macrophytes in the (sub)tropics (Mazzeo et al., 2003; Pelicice & Agostinho, 2006), both amongst submerged and free-floating plants (Meerhoff et al., 2003).”
Ecological and socio-economic utilization of water hyacinth ( Eichhornia crassipes Mart Solms) (2010, background): “Photosynthesis is limited beneath water hyacinth mats, and the plant itself does not release oxygen into the water as do phytoplankton and submerged vegetation (Meerhoff et al., 2003), resulting in decreased dissolved oxygen concentration.”
Towards an assessment of multiple ecosystem processes and services via functional traits (2010, background): “For example, changes in the proportion of functionally different riparian plant or macrophyte species can markedly alter the functional composition of leaf shredders, thus driving changes in water purification and services linked to the type and abundances of fish (Graca 2001; Meerhoff et al. 2003).”
An experimental study of habitat choice by Daphnia: plants signal danger more than refuge in subtropical lakes (2006, background): “Stands of submerged and free-floating plants act as important nursery areas for juvenile fish of many species in several subtropical lakes (in Florida, U.S.A., Conrow et al., 1990; Uruguay, Meerhoff et al., 2003).”
Biomanipulation as a restoration tool to combat eutrophication : recent advances and future challenges (2012, background): “…in lakes (Vander Zanden et al., 2011), which might contribute to explain the higher diversity in the typically plant-associated 430 Erik Jeppesen et al. fish assemblages in warm lakes (Conrow et al., 1990; Delariva et al., 1994; Meerhoff et al., 2003, 2007a; Teixeira-de Mello et al., 2009).”
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, unknown): “However, Meerhoff et al. (2003) showed that Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.)”
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.”
Influence of the macrophyte Eichhornia azurea on fish assemblage of the Upper Paraná River floodplain (Brazil) (2007, unknown): “For example, in shallow lakes, free-floating and submerged plants can be differently used by fish, depending on species, size classes and feeding habits (Meerhoff et al. 2003).”
Ecological and socio-economic impacts of invasive water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes): a review (2010, background): “pectinatus or vegetation-free littoral sites (Meerhoff et al., 2003).”
