Trophic niche patterns of endangered Sandelia bainsii and Amatolacypris trevelyani in the Eastern Cape, South Africa: Insights from stable isotope analysis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1002/aqc.4103
Abstract: Despite supporting a disproportionately large fraction of the global biodiversity, freshwater ecosystems are ranked as the most highly threatened habitats ahead of both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Furthermore, many regions are still characterized by limited… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8742
Abstract: Abstract Documenting trophic niche partitioning and resource use within a community is critical to evaluate underlying mechanisms of coexistence, competition, or predation. Detailed knowledge about foraging is essential as it may influence the vital rates,… read more here.

Historical niche partitioning and long‐term trophic shifts in Laurentian Great Lakes deepwater coregonines
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2080
Abstract: Over the last 100 yr, anthropogenic stressors have decimated the assemblage of deepwater coregonines that once underpinned the food webs of the Laurentian Great Lakes. As a part of ongoing restoration efforts, fisheries managers are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.4887
Abstract: Understanding the trophic and demographic dynamics of apex predators is of paramount importance for ecosystem conservation. Apex predators are usually free from predation, and thus, the main driver of population dynamics is the availability of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.10546
Abstract: Sponges are commonly divided into high (HMA) and low (LMA) microbial-abundance species according to the bacterial biomass in their tissue. These two groups reflect distinct aquiferous structures and feeding strategies. In the NW Mediterranean coralligenous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/oik.11324
Abstract: In natural environments, competition between species is a crucial factor for the survival or demise of populations. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms that promote species coexistence is crucial in community and evolutionary ecology. The phylogenetic limiting… read more here.

Trophic niches and feeding relationships of shorebirds in southern Brazil
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Aquatic Ecology"
DOI: 10.1007/s10452-018-9663-6
Abstract: Niche theory predicts that sympatric species should differ in some ecological characteristic, to allow co-existence and reduce competition for key resources. Food is critical on wintering grounds and stopover areas for migratory species that need… read more here.
