DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8486
Abstract: Abstract Invasion of non‐native species might alter food web structure and the strength of top‐down control within lake ecosystems. As top‐down control exerted by fish populations is often dominated by young of the year fish,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3954
Abstract: Historical resurveys of ecological communities are important for placing the structure of modern ecosystems in context. Rarely, however, are snapshot surveys alone sufficient for providing direct insight into the rates of ecological processes that underlie… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00227-017-3134-9
Abstract: The planktonic larvae of many marine invertebrates must feed to develop to metamorphosis. The rate at which feeding larvae accumulate energy affects the amount of time they must spend in the plankton, which affects larval… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10499-017-0156-8
Abstract: An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of feeding rates on growth, feed utilization, and body composition of juvenile Pseudobagrus ussuriensis. Juvenile P. ussuriensis (initial body weight of 2.30 ± 0.01 g) were distributed into… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.1180
Abstract: Marine predators face the challenge of reliably finding prey that is patchily distributed in space and time. Predators make movement decisions at multiple spatial and temporal scales, yet we have a limited understanding of how… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.147934
Abstract: ABSTRACT Benthic marine suspension feeders provide an important link between benthic and pelagic ecosystems. The strength of this link is determined by suspension-feeding rates. Many studies have measured suspension-feeding rates using indirect clearance-rate methods, which… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.15223
Abstract: Graceful kelp crabs (Pugettia gracilis) are abundant consumers in shallow subtidal ecosystems of the Salish Sea. These dynamic habitats are currently experiencing multiple changes including invasion by non-native seaweeds and ocean warming. However, little is… read more here.
