Using stable isotopes to describe the trophic structure of gelatinous zooplankton across the deep pelagic

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Although gelatinous zooplankton are key members of marine ecosystems and food webs, their trophic ecology is poorly described across the deep pelagic. We used stable carbon (bulk tissue) and nitrogen (bulk tissue and amino acid) isotope analysis to estimate the trophic positions (TPs) of abundant gelatinous zooplankton (chaetognaths ...

Spatial dynamics of animal‐mediated nutrients in temperate waters

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Consumer‐mediated nutrient dynamics (CND), through which animals' metabolic waste products fertilize primary producers, drive variability in nutrient availability in tropical waters. This variability influences primary productivity and community functioning.

Fish predation cues induce drifting and emergence in an experimental stream mesocosm system

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Predator–prey interactions are important drivers of adaptation in aquatic communities, shaping the behavior of invertebrates with cascading effects on community dynamics. Behavioral responses, such as moving with the downstream current (drift) or altering the timing of emergence, are strategies that reduce the risk of predator encounters ...

Acute and long‐term warming effects on the functional response and reproductive efficiency of marine copepods

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract The impact of climate change stressors on marine copepods, key organisms at the base of ocean food webs, remains understudied. This study examined how warming affects their functional and numerical responses, critical life history traits linked to fitness.
