DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9572
Abstract: Abstract Many traits including trophic niche parameters are attributed to species. However, generalist species may vary in trophic niches with environments, making species‐based knowledge hard to extrapolate beyond local food webs. Here we tested trophic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00300-020-02775-3
Abstract: Expanding human activities alongside climate change, the introduction of invasive species and water contamination pose multiple threats to the unique marine ecosystems of the Pechora Sea in the Russian Arctic. Baseline data on biodiversity and… read more here.

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.

DOI: 10.1111/fwb.12924
Abstract: Ecological differences among species are usually associated with phenotypic differences that enable species to lessen interspecific competition. Many cryptic species co-occur in communities, thus raising the question of their ecological equivalency. In the case of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfb.15219
Abstract: Fish trophic niches reflect important ecological interactions and provide insight into the structure of mangrove food webs. Few studies have been conducted in mangrove fish predators to investigate interpopulation trophic niches and ontogenetic shifts. Using… read more here.

Trophic niches of a seabird assemblage in Bass Strait, south-eastern Australia
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.8700
Abstract: The foraging niches of seabirds are driven by a variety of factors, including competition for prey that promotes divergence in trophic niches. Bass Strait, south-eastern Australia, is a key region for seabirds, with little penguins… read more here.
