DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9087
Abstract: Abstract An organism's body size plays an important role in ecological interactions such as predator–prey relationships. As predators are typically larger than their prey, this often leads to a strong positive relationship between body size… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10452-020-09823-4
Abstract: In freshwater ecosystems, macrophyte contribute to habitat heterogeneity with their varying structural forms, ranging from free submerged to rooted species. Macrophytes provide substrates that support fish populations, providing food and refuge from predators, especially in… read more here.
