DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5523
Abstract: Abstract Disturbances have long been recognized as important forces for structuring natural communities but their effects on trophic structure are not well understood, particularly in terrestrial systems. This is in part because quantifying trophic linkages… read more here.

Variations of trophic structure and niche space in fish community along a highly regulated subtropical large river
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9424
Abstract: Abstract The trophic interactions between consumers and resources play a vital role in the stability of communities. In river systems, fragmentation of natural habitats and environmental changes alters the energy basis and community composition, consequently… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11161
Abstract: We determined the stable nitrogen isotope composition (δ15N values) and body size of taxonomic groups in a zooplankton community in the Cantabrian Sea (southern Bay of Biscay) to explore seasonal and depth (0–2000 m) variations in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11545
Abstract: Whether pristine ecosystems with intact trophic structures are more resilient to anthropogenic pressures than ecosystems facing human exploitation is a pressing question to ecological theory and management. For coastal vegetated ecosystems such as kelp forests… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04776-9
Abstract: Despite low species diversity and primary production, trophic structure (e.g., top predator species, predator size) is surprisingly variable among Arctic lakes. We investigated trophic structure in lakes of arctic Alaska containing arctic char Salvelinus alpinus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-017-3128-0
Abstract: The positive influence of mangrove vegetation on macrobenthic communities has been widely investigated, but studies mainly focused on epibenthic assemblages. Given the contrasting characteristics between epifauna and infauna, we expected that mangrove vegetation would not… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s42729-021-00544-7
Abstract: The application of chemical fertilizer alone may deteriorate the trophic structure of soil nematode community. However, little is known about whether the combined application of organic materials and chemical fertilizer can mitigate the negative effect,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/mf16373
Abstract: Waterfalls have unique physical characteristics and harbour highly specialised macroinvertebrate communities, but have been the subject of very few ecological studies. There are no previous studies of trophic structure of waterfall assemblages. It was hypothesised… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/mf18072
Abstract: In this study we compared ecosystem trophic structure between a tropical mangrove forest at Matang, Malaysia, and a temperate mangrove forest near mangrove poleward limits at Towra Point in south-east Australia. These forests are separated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2021.0598
Abstract: Local and regional habitat conditions associated with agricultural activity can fundamentally alter aquatic ecosystems. Increased nutrient inputs, channelization and reduced riparian habitat both upstream and locally contribute to the degradation of stream ecosystems and their… read more here.
