Effects of stream grazers with different functional traits on the spatial heterogeneity of periphyton mats

BACKGROUND: Grazing activity on periphytic mats determines mat structure and spatial heterogeneity. Spatial complexity in stream periphyton is highly divergent and may depend on the functional traits of the different primary consumers species (i.e., grazers) such as mouthpart morphology, feeding beh...
