Trophic ecology of Plecoptera (Insecta): a review [PDF]
The European Zoological Journal, 2019 We here review the current knowledge on the trophic ecology of stoneflies, an aquatic insect group of substantial ecological importance in lotic systems.

Elucidating stygofaunal trophic web interactions via isotopic ecology.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Subterranean ecosystems host highly adapted aquatic invertebrate biota which play a key role in sustaining groundwater ecological functioning and hydrological dynamics. However, functional biodiversity studies in groundwater environments, the main source

Integrating siphonophores into marine food‐web ecology
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2022 Siphonophores are a clade of understudied colonial hydrozoans (Cnidaria) that are abundant predators in oceanic ecosystems, with species present across the water column.

Trophic ecology and niche overlap of two sympatric species of Rhamdia (Siluriformes, Heptapteridae) from northeast Oaxaca, Mexico [PDF]
Neotropical Biology and ConservationThe trophic ecology of fishes in the genus Rhamdia remains poorly reported. Here, we aim to describe the diet composition and infer the trophic levels, niche breadth, and niche overlap between Rhamdia guatemalensis and Rhamdia laticauda in northeast ...

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 ...

Trophic interactions of meso- and macrozooplankton and fish in the Iceland Sea as evaluated by fatty acid and stable isotope analysis [PDF]
, 2012 A trophic study was carried out in August of 2007 and 2008 on the pelagic ecosystem in the Subarctic Iceland Sea. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes and fatty acid biomarkers were used to study trophic linkages and the trophic ecology of the most ...

Dual stable isotope abundances unravel trophic position of estuarine nematodes [PDF]
, 2005 The role and quantitative importance of free-living nematodes in marine and estuarine soft sediments remain enigmatic for lack of empirical evidence on the feeding habits and trophic position of most nematode species.

On the methodology of feeding ecology in fish [PDF]
, 2016 Feeding ecology explains predator’s preference to some preys over others in their habitat and their competitions thereof. The subject, as a functional and applied biology, is highly neglected, and in case of fish, a uniform and consistent ...

Energy, Trophic Dynamics and Ecological Discounting
Land, 2023 Ecosystems provide humanity with a wide variety and high economic value-added services, from biomass structuring to genetic information, pollutants’ decomposition, water purification and climate regulation. The foundation of ecosystem services is the Eltonian Pyramid, where via prey–predator relationships, energy metabolism and biomass building take ...
