DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5385
Abstract: Abstract Alternatives in ecosystem‐based management often differ with respect to trade‐offs between ecosystem values. Ecosystem or food‐web models and demographic models are typically employed to evaluate alternatives, but the approaches are rarely integrated to uncover… read more here.

New Approaches to Assess Food Web Stability in Aquatic Ecosystems: A Case Study on Baiyangdian Lake
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71934
Abstract: ABSTRACT Interactions between species and detritus in aquatic ecosystems involve unassimilated food, non‐predator mortality, and complex trophic relationships, making it challenging to quantify interaction strengths. This study utilized classic and revised Lotka–Volterra equations, combined with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8643
Abstract: Abstract Food web models explain and predict the trophic interactions in a food web, and they can infer missing interactions among the organisms. The allometric diet breadth model (ADBM) is a food web model based… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2952
Abstract: Climate warming is predicted to alter routing and flows of energy through food webs due to the critical and varied effects of temperature on physiological rates, community structure, and trophic dynamics. Few studies, however, have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.10483
Abstract: Interactions of bottom-up factors such as the availability of mineral and organic nutrients, and top-down factors like predation and viral infection affect microbial communities of the pelagic food web. Hypothesis derived from previous experimental and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.10756
Abstract: Diatoms produce a series of cytotoxic secondary metabolites such as polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUA) in response to cell injury or stress. However, little information exists on the PUA effects on the pelagic food web. A set… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11792
Abstract: Understanding the ecological interactions that enhance the resilience of threatened ecosystems is essential in assuring their conservation and restoration. Top‐down trophic interactions can increase resilience to bottom‐up nutrient enrichment, however, as many seagrass ecosystems are… read more here.
