Is anyone currently examining stream grazer foraging strategies in terms of how they partition periphytic resources?
In particular, are there any trait-based models (or ideas) out there predicting how stream grazers will forage across larger scales (e.g. meters)?
There is the classic Steinman model of small-scale (micrometer) utilization based on periphytic structure, but I'm trying to think "big" here.
I welcome people's thoughts & ideas.
