Effects of macroconsumers on benthic communities: Rapid increases in dry-season accrual of calcium in a tropical karst stream.
Species loss from upper trophic levels can result in some major changes in community structure and ecosystem functions. Here, we experimentally excluded macroconsumers (e.g., fish and shrimp) in a Brazilian karst tropical stream during the dry season to investigate if their loss affected the accrual...
