Detritus processing by invertebrate shredders: a neotropical–temperate comparison
Karl M. Wantzen,Rüdiger Wagner +1 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that biogeographic distribution and the life-cycle strategies of the shredders are additional factors affecting the contribution of invertebrates to lotic decomposition processes is discussed and it is concluded that detritivorous neotropical insects may have 2 different species traits.
