Small but powerful: top predator local extinction affects ecosystem structure and function in an intermittent stream. by Pablo Rodríguez-Lozano, Iraima Verkaik, Maria Rieradevall, Narcís Prat

“…Consequently, it remains unknown if intermittent streams are affected by the consequences of top-predators' extirpations. The aim of our research was to determine how this global problem affects intermittent streams and, in particular, if the loss of a small-bodied top predator (1) leads to a 'mesopredator release', affects primary consumers and changes whole community structures, and (2) triggers a cascade effect modifying the ecosystem function. …”
