Trophic state-dependent distribution of asari clam Ruditapes philippinarum in Japanese coastal waters: possible utilization of asari stable isotope ratios as a production indicator
Adult asari clams Ruditapes philippinarum were widely collected from 22 sampling sites including 20 clam fishery grounds in Japan in 2013 and 2014....

A new trophic index (TIM2S) to evaluate trophic alteration of small shallow lakes: a predictive reference-based approach
Small shallow lakes (SSLs) have great conservation value and support numerous ecosystem services. However, these small ecosystems are faced with many...

Temporal and spatial distribution of macrozoobenthos in three lakes of different trophic states: a case study of the Narochianskie lakes (Belarus)
We used macrozoobenthos data (abundance, biomass, and community structure) spanning 69 years including annual surveys from 1997 to 2016 in three...

Quantifying the effects of sensory stress on trophic cascades
Predators mediate the strength of trophic cascades indirectly by decreasing the number of prey consuming a basal resource and by altering prey...

The universal trophic index: new methodological approach to eutrophication monitoring and control
Anthropogenic eutrophication is one of the consequences of human activities observed from the beginning of urbanization processes and is now a...

Effects of quagga mussel invasion on trophic niche of fishes in a western USA reservoir: a test for a trophic cascade and corresponding niche shift
Quagga mussels ( Dreissena bugensis ) are considered one of the most deleterious invasive species in freshwater ecosystems because they can alter food...

Preferential cannibalism as a key stabilizing mechanism of intraguild predation systems with trophic polymorphic predators
Theory predicts intraguild predation (IGP) to be unstable despite its ubiquity in nature, prompting exploration of stabilizing mechanisms of IGP. One...
