Effects of leaf toughness and nitrogen content on litter breakdown and macroinvertebrates in a tropical stream
Published in Aquatic sciences (01-03-2009)“… High plant diversity in the tropics results in leaf litter of widely differing quality that may affect litter breakdown rates in streams. The effects of leaf…”

Global patterns of stream detritivore distribution: implications for biodiversity loss in changing climates
Published in Global ecology and biogeography (01-02-2012)“…Aim: We tested the hypothesis that shredder detritivores, a key trophic guild in stream ecosystems, are more diverse at higher latitudes, which has important…”

Shredders: species richness, abundance, and role in litter breakdown in tropical Hong Kong streams
Published in Journal of the North American Benthological Society (01-03-2009)“…Shredders appear to be scarce in many tropical streams, but few data are available about their abundance or role in litter breakdown in these systems. Shredder…”
