DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3648
Abstract: Abstract Coastal vegetated habitats such as seagrasses are known to play a critical role in carbon cycling and the potential to mitigate climate change, as blue carbon habitats have been repeatedly highlighted. However, little information… read more here.

Grazing resistance and poor food quality of a widespread mixotroph impair zooplankton secondary production

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04677-x
Abstract: Growing evidence suggests that global climate change promotes the dominance of mixotrophic algae especially in oligotrophic aquatic ecosystems. While theory predicts that mixotrophy increases trophic transfer efficiency in aquatic food webs, deleterious effects of some… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-019-00427-0
Abstract: A central goal of benthic ecology is to describe the pathways and quantities of energy and material flow in seafloor communities over different spatial and temporal scales. We examined the relative macrobenthic contribution to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-021-00707-8
Abstract: The El Nino–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) strongly influences climate and hydrology on the planet and may drive the structure and functioning of estuarine communities. However, the effects of the ENSO on coastal areas are dependent on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10452-020-09795-5
Abstract: Meiofaunal abundance, biomass and secondary production were investigated over 13 months in an unpolluted first-order stream. Four microhabitats were considered: sediment and the biofilms on dead wood, macrophytes and leaf litter. The relative contribution of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1086/710236
Abstract: The nonconsumptive effects of predators on prey include behavioral, physiological, and life-history changes that reduce the risk of predation but have associated energetic or fitness costs to prey individuals and populations. Biologists have documented such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1086/711756
Abstract: Secondary production estimates are an important element of ecosystem ecology because they facilitate quantification of the roles of consumers in material and energy cycling. We estimated production and resource consumption of stream macroinvertebrates, along with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aav2348
Abstract: Precipitation and temperature drive continental-scale patterns in stream invertebrate production. Secondary production, the growth of new heterotrophic biomass, is a key process in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems that has been carefully measured in many flowing… read more here.

DOI: 10.4257/oeco.2020.2404.06
Abstract: The secondary production is the result of the functional response of populations subject to various environmental factors. Marine habitats vary in terms of quantity and quality of food supply, and the use of secondary production… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-17-3385-2020
Abstract: Abstract. Zooplankton play an important role in global biogeochemistry, and their secondary production supports valuable fisheries of the world's oceans. Currently, zooplankton standing stocks cannot be estimated using remote sensing techniques. Hence, coupled physical–biogeochemical models… read more here.
