## Abstract This study evaluates litter dynamics and its relation to macroinvertebrate communities (assemblages and feeding habits) at Piburja stream (3300 m, Ecuador). Annual litterfall (216 g AFDM/m^2^) was not related to rainfall, but differed significantly between months. Transport of Coarse Pa

## Abstract This study evaluated if there are differences in leaf breakdown and invertebrate colonization among tree species differing in quality (toughness), and which factors could influence these differences. Common alder leaves decomposed significantly faster then either sweet chestnut or Spani

## Abstract Small woody debris in streams is abundant, and may be a food source or may provide a substrate on which other food sources such as biofilm may develop, both of which may be significant to invertebrates in times of food scarcity. We examined patterns of invertebrate colonisation of small

## Abstract The dynamics of leaf breakdown in a headwater Colombian stream were evaluated for the native tree species __Myrsine guianensis, Cupania latifolia__ and __Nectandra lineatifolia__ using coarse and fine mesh litter bags. Ten bags of each species (five of each mesh size) were retrieved fro
