Effects of microbial conditioning and temperature on the leaf-litter shredding activity of Phylloicus sp.

Few studies try to explain the effects in tropical lotic ecosystems of an increase in water temperature on the shredding activity of invertebrate shredders, particularly in association with the quality of the leaf litter and the degree of litter conditioning. Therefore, the aims of this study were a...
