Age‐based δ15N and δ13C values of otolith organic matter reveal trophic ecology in marine fishes

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract Fish inhabiting similar environments face space and resource constraints, develop diverse feeding strategies, and adjust their trophic niches during ontogeny to reduce competition. To investigate this process, we reconstructed the trophic trajectory of five species of the family Sciaenidae by analyzing δ13C and δ15N values in otolith organic ...

The planktonic food web in the Gulf of Naples based on the analysis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

Monitoring Euplotes species dynamics in mixed experiments using genetic markers for quantitative polymerase chain reaction

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Ciliates are widespread and play a major role in ecosystems as they form an important link between primary producers and higher trophic levels. They have been used as a classic model to study predator–prey interactions of co‐evolutionary processes.

Calibration of the transparency tube for estimating turbidity in estuarine systems

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Turbidity, quantified in turbidity units (nephelometric or formazin), is a common and valid measure of water quality related to transparency. A transparency tube (TT) is an economical tool developed to estimate water clarity as an alternative to the Secchi disk, but it is also frequently used to estimate turbidity.

Environmental transcriptomics under heat stress: Can environmental RNA reveal changes in gene expression of aquatic organisms?

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract To safeguard biodiversity in a changing climate, taxonomic information about species turnover and insights into the health of organisms are required. Environmental DNA approaches are increasingly used for species identification, but cannot provide functional insights.
