Inferring the trophic attributes and consequences of co-occurring lake invaders using an allometric niche model
Identifying the trophic attributes of co-occurring invaders is a prerequisite to anticipate and mitigate their simultaneous impacts. We used an...

Dining on corals: stable isotope evidence for close trophic connection between gall crabs (Cryptochiridae) and their stony coral hosts
The exact nature of the relationship between symbiont fauna and their hosts is often unclear, but knowing more about these intricate ecological...

Influence of phylogenetic diversity of plant communities on tri-trophic interactions
Phylogenetic diversity of plant communities can influence the interaction between plants, herbivores, and their natural enemies. Plant communities...

Insights into the trophic interactions of the endemic shark Cephalurus cephalus: diet composition and first infection records of Anisakis and other nematodes
This study provides the first baseline information on the trophic interactions of the endemic shark Cephalurus cephalus through a multidisciplinary...

Trophic impact of Neogobius melanostomus in a restored site on the Old Rhine River (France)
Habitat changes induced by restoration can favour invasive species, thereby thwarting the main biological objectives of restoration and possibly...

Crop Protection Under Climate Change: The Effect on Tri-trophic Relations Concerning Pest Control
Climate as the primary determinant of agricultural productivity is important under climate change. At various levels, several types of plant disease...

Variation in the trophic niche and food provisioning between the early and late chick-rearing stages in Magellanic penguins Spheniscus magellanicus at Martillo Island, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
Variation in the foraging niche and parental provisioning behaviors of breeding seabirds have the potential to affect population dynamics (e.g....

Using DNA barcoding and species distribution models to characterize the trophic ecology of Geoffroy’s cat in the Brazilian Pampa
Geoffroy’s cat ( Leopardus geoffroyi ) is a small neotropical felid that has been the focus of a few dietary studies in the Brazilian Pampa. In order...

Trophic Relations between Native Salvelinus malma Walb. and Introduced Oncorhynchus nerka Walb. in the Landlocked Lake Sevo, Kamchatka
AbstractFish introductions are known to be dangerous due to the unexpected spread of diseases and disorganization of the food web. In 1986, the...

Heterogeneity–diversity relationships differ between and within trophic levels in temperate forests
The habitat heterogeneity hypothesis predicts that biodiversity increases with increasing habitat heterogeneity due to greater niche dimensionality....

Trophic dynamics and properties of the marine ecosystem of Campeche Bank, Mexico
Campeche Bank located in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico is characterized by particular oceanographic and physiographic conditions that promote great...

Biomass Pyramids of Marine Mesozooplankton Communities as Inferred From Their Integrated Trophic Positions
Biomass pyramids in natural food webs provide insights into multitrophic ecosystem functioning. We measured the integrated trophic position (iTP),...

Population status, distribution and trophic implications of Pinna nobilis along the South-eastern Italian coast
The dramatic Mass Mortality Event, MME, of Pinna nobilis populations initially detected in the western Mediterranean basin, has also spread rapidly...

Exploring trophic role similarity and phylogenetic relatedness between species in food webs
Understanding the mechanism sha** species assemblages is a fundamental goal in ecology. In the past, two hypotheses have been suggested. One is the...

Mammal responses to global changes in human activity vary by trophic group and landscape
Wildlife must adapt to human presence to survive in the Anthropocene, so it is critical to understand species responses to humans in different...

Ecosystem Functioning Influences Species Fitness at Upper Trophic Levels
Global change is severely affecting ecosystem functioning and biodiversity globally. Remotely sensed ecosystem functional attributes (EFAs) are...

Dietary evidence of trophic segregation between Campbell albatross Thalassarche impavida and grey-headed albatross T. chrysostoma at subantarctic Campbell Island
Diet and trophic relationships of New Zealand albatrosses are poorly known, while comprehensive information on their feeding ecology are needed in an...

Interaction among soil nutrients, plant diversity and hypogeal fungal trophic guild modifies root-associated fungal diversity in coniferous forests of Chinese Southern Himalayas
AimsThis study was conducted to synthetically investigate how root-associated fungi react to the environmental variations (plant diversity and soil...
-
Mechanical traits as drivers of trophic interaction between macrodetritivores and leaf litter
In ecosystems, the rates of resource consumption by animals drive the flows of matter and energy. Consumption rates are known to vary according to...
-
Rapid phenological change differs across four trophic levels over 15 years
The success of consumers often depends on synchronizing with their resources; however, recent climate change has affected the phenology of many...
