Shearing Tooth Morphology May Allow Sharks to Access Higher Trophic Levels at Smaller Sizes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Predator morphology imposes limitations on prey selection due to biomechanical constraints, making some prey functionally inaccessible and thereby constraining predator trophic niches. We assessed how two key components of trophic morphology—tooth shape and body size—affect prey selectivity and trophic niche in two sympatric sharks with contrasting ...

Invasive species invoke a lifetime of trophic change in native stream fishes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Trophic interactions operate across the lifetime of an individual organism, yet our understanding of these processes is largely limited to a single life stage or moment in time. Management and conservation implications of this knowledge gap are particularly important, given the mounting number, spread, and ecological impacts of invasive ...
