Effects of oligotrophication and Dreissena littoral-pelagic coupling on littoral invertebrate and fish communities: insights from stable isotopes of archived samples
Changing nutrient concentrations and introduction of non-native species affect the energy and nutrient fluxes in aquatic ecosystems. As a response,...
-
Global investigation of lake habitat coupling by fishes
Habitat coupling, where consumers acquire resources from different habitats, plays an important role in ecosystem functioning. In this study, we...

Habitat coupling mediated by the multi-interaction network linked to macrophyte meadows: ponds versus lakes
Morphometric differences between ponds and lakes have implications in habitat-dimensioning and coupling. The prevalence of pelagic over benthic...
-
Lake Food Webs
The warm monomictic thermal regime of Lake Alchichica largely influences the carbon stocks type, amount, and available for the food webs, but also...

Big enough for an extra-large meal: a review on predation upon large animals by benthic cnidarians
The feeding upon large animals—even larger than the predator—by benthic cnidarians has been reported from many ecosystems but never exhaustively...
-
Seasonal Aspects and Short-Term Variability of the Pelagic Offshore Ecosystems
In the pelagic ecosystems, food web interactions between phytoplankton and zooplankton determine the amount of energy transferred to higher trophic...

The effects of the nonnative brittle star Ophiothela mirabilis Verrill, 1867 on the feeding performance of an octocoral host in a southwestern Atlantic rocky shore
The Pacific epizoic brittle star Ophiothela mirabilis Verrill, 1867 has widely spread and colonized hosts at high densities along the Western...

Community dynamics of microbial eukaryotes in intertidal mudflats in the hypertidal Bay of Fundy
Protists (microbial eukaryotes) are a critically important but understudied group of microorganisms. They are ubiquitous, represent most of the...
-
The Deep Benthic Zone
The basin’s shape of Lake Alchichica resembles a cylinder, with a limited littoral and extended profundal zone. The deep benthic zone is somewhat...

Dreissena in the Great Lakes: what have we learned in 30 years of invasion
We summarized over 30 years of research on zebra and quagga mussels in the Laurentian Great Lakes and compared with data from European and North...

Energetic consequences of resource use diversity in a marine carnivore
Understanding how intraspecific variation in the use of prey resources impacts energy metabolism has strong implications for predicting long-term...

The Families of Decapod Shrimps
The taxonomy and classification of the ~4400 decapod shrimps are constantly evolving as new research clarifies their nomenclature and relationships....

Carbon budget trends in octocorals: a literature review with data reassessment and a conceptual framework to understand their resilience to environmental changes
Although octocorals are a key component of marine hard-bottom systems, their feeding performance is still poorly understood. Understanding carbon...

Influence of the Fish Introduction in Lakes of the Arid Southern Patagonia
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was introduced in most lakes of Patagonia, generating concern about its impact on the receiving communities....
-
First trait-based characterization of Arctic ice meiofauna taxa
Trait-based approaches connect the traits of species to ecosystem functions to estimate the functional diversity of communities and how they may...
-
Depth-specific benthic specialization of Arctic char in an oligotrophic subarctic lake
Fishes consume prey from across both benthic and pelagic habitats, thereby stabilizing the food webs of freshwater lakes. How fish exploit vertical...
-
Sea ice presence is linked to higher carbon export and vertical microbial connectivity in the Eurasian Arctic Ocean
Arctic Ocean sea ice cover is shrinking due to warming. Long-term sediment trap data shows higher export efficiency of particulate organic carbon in...
-
Evidence for trophic niche partitioning among three temperate gorgonian octocorals
Trophic niche theory predicts that species in competition for a limiting resource will evolve adaptations allowing them to consume alternative...
-
Linking shape and growth in young-of-the-year rockfish: an ecological carry-over effect?
Ecological carryover effects occur in any situation in which an individual’s previous history and experience (e.g., pelagic larval stages) influence...

A comparative and ontogenetic examination of mitochondrial function in Antarctic notothenioid species
Notothenioidei fishes have evolved under stable cold temperatures; however, ocean conditions are changing globally, with polar regions poised to...
