Archaeological sharks: changes in the trophic ecology between late Holocene and modern shark communities in South Brazil
Sharks are essential components of marine communities, and their removal might simplify ecosystems and lead to unpredictable and detrimental effects...

Trophic ecology of two non-native cyprinid fish, the common carp Cyprinus carpio and the bleak Alburnus alburnus
The introduction of non-native fish species poses a significant threat to biodiversity. In Spain, the common carp Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus, 1758)...

Extreme bill dimorphism leads to different but overlap** isotopic niches and similar trophic positions in sexes of the charismatic extinct huia
The New Zealand huia ( Heteralocha acutirostris ) had the most extreme bill sexual dimorphism among modern birds. Given the quick extinction of the...

Natural history and trophic ecology of three populations of the Mexican cavefish, Astyanax mexicanus
The Mexican cavefish, Astyanax mexicanus (Characidae), has become an important model in evolutionary physiology and developmental biology, providing...

It is about time: effects of thermal fluctuations resulting from climate change on trophic interactions with a focus on host–parasitoid interactions
Climate change alters many environmental parameters with strong consequences for ecological interactions, from species interactions to community...

Contrasting intra-individual variation in size-based trophic and habitat shifts for two coastal Arctic fish species
Within and among species variation in trophic and habitat shifts with body size can indicate the potential adaptive capacity of species to ecosystem...

Drivers of niche partitioning in a community of mid-trophic level epipelagic species in the North Atlantic
According to the principles of community ecology, sympatric species may suffer a selective pressure to decrease their niche overlap through...
