DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8654
Abstract: Abstract A central goal in ecology is to predict what governs a species’ ability to establish in a new environment. One mechanism driving establishment success is individual species’ traits, but the role of trait combinations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8687
Abstract: Abstract Eutrophication and rising water temperature in freshwaters may increase the total production of a lake while simultaneously reducing the nutritional quality of food web components. We evaluated how cyanobacteria blooms, driven by agricultural eutrophication… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3975
Abstract: Animals are integrated into the wider ecosystem via their foraging and behaviour. The compensation hypothesis predicts that animals target their foraging efforts (i) towards nutrients that are scarce in the environment and (ii) towards nutrients… read more here.

Predator signaling of multiple prey on different trophic levels structures trophic cascades.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4050
Abstract: The capacity of an apex predator to produce non-consumptive effects (NCEs) in multiple prey trophic levels can create considerable complexity in non-consumptive cascading interactions, but these effects are poorly studied. We examined such effects in… read more here.

Comparative evaluation on the toxic effect of silver (Ag) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles on different trophic levels in aquatic ecosystems: A review

DOI: 10.1002/jat.4310
Abstract: Silver (Ag) and zinc oxide (ZnO) are considered to be harmful nanoparticles (NPs) to the aquatic organisms as their intake causes toxic impacts to wildlife, through direct ingestion or by the transference along trophic levels.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00128-017-2047-0
Abstract: The spatial and temporal variations of microcystins (MCs) in fishes with different trophic levels were studied monthly in Lake Chaohu in 2014. MCs content in muscle was highest in phytoplanktivorous Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (H. molitrix), followed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-017-3909-1
Abstract: Non-consumptive effects (NCEs) of predators are ubiquitous in food webs with well-detailed impacts on trophic cascades over multiple levels. However, integrating NCEs with other predator–mediated interactions, like intraguild predation, as well as context-specific habitat factors… read more here.

Above- and Below-ground Cascading Effects of Wild Ungulates in Temperate Forests

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-020-00509-4
Abstract: Ungulates have become abundant in many temperate forests, shifting tree species composition by browsing and altering soil physical conditions by trampling. Whether these effects cascade down to other trophic levels and ecosystem processes is poorly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-017-3417-7
Abstract: Natural enemies are known to modify competitive hierarchies among terrestrial plants. Here we examine whether the same applies to freshwater systems. Lagarosiphon major (Hydrocharitaceae) is a submerged aquatic macrophyte, indigenous to South Africa. Outside its… read more here.

Abstract: Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), a brominated flame retardant used in synthetic polymers and electronics, is present in the aquatic environment and recent evidence suggests it can be potentially biomagnified in the marine ecosystem. However, the toxicity… read more here.
