Not all jellyfish are equal: isotopic evidence for inter- and intraspecific variation in jellyfish trophic ecology [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Jellyfish are highly topical within studies of pelagic food-webs and there is a growing realisation that their role is more complex than once thought.

Characterizing the trophic ecology of herbivorous coral reef fishes using stable isotope and fatty acid biomarkers. [PDF]
PLoS ONEUnderstanding the trophic ecology of herbivorous and detritivorous fishes is essential for evaluating their ecological roles in coral reef ecosystems. In this study, we combined bulk stable isotope (δ15N and δ13C) and fatty acid analyses to investigate ...

Trophic ecology of the African riverine elephant fishes (Mormyridae) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMultiple species of the elephant fishes (Mormyridae) commonly coexist in sympatry in most African tropical rivers and lakes. In this study, we investigated the trophic ecology and potential trophic niche partitioning of eleven mormyrid fish species from ...

The endocranium and trophic ecology of Velociraptor mongoliensis. [PDF]
J Anat, 2020 AbstractNeuroanatomical reconstructions of extinct animals have long been recognized as powerful proxies for palaeoecology, yet our understanding of the endocranial anatomy of dromaeosaur theropod dinosaurs is still incomplete. Here, we used X‐ray computed microtomography (µCT) to reconstruct and describe the endocranial anatomy, including the ...

Non-trophic Functional Ecology of Vertebrate Teeth: A Review [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2020 SynopsisTeeth are critical to the functional ecology of vertebrate trophic abilities, but are also used for a diversity of other non-trophic tasks. Teeth can play a substantial role in how animals move, manipulate their environment, positively interact with conspecifics, antagonistically interact with other organisms, and sense the environment.
