Combined stable isotope and gut contents analysis of food webs in plant-dominated, shallow lakes [PDF]
, 2003 1. To determine feeding links between primary producers, invertebrates and fish, stable isotope analyses and gut content analyses of fish were conducted on the components of four shallow, eutrophic to hypertrophic, plant-dominated lakes. 2.

Hydrothermal activity lowers trophic diversity in Antarctic sedimented hydrothermal vents [PDF]
, 2016 Sedimented hydrothermal vents are those in which hydrothermal fluid vents through sediment and are among the least studied deep-sea ecosystems. We present a combination of microbial and biochemical data to assess trophodynamics between and within ...

Predicting plankton net community production in the Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
, 2009 We present, test and implement two contrasting models to predict euphotic zone net community production (NCP), which are based on 14C primary production (PO14CP) to NCP relationships over two latitudinal (ca.

Determining trophic niche width: a novel approach using stable isotope analysis [PDF]
, 2004 1. Although conceptually robust, it has proven difficult to find practical measures of niche width that are simple to obtain, yet provide an adequate descriptor of the ecological position of the population examined. 2.

The Food Web of Potter Cove (Antarctica): complexity, structure and function [PDF]
, 2018 Knowledge of the food web structure and complexity are central to better understand ecosystem functioning. A food-web approach includes both species and energy flows among them, providing a natural framework for characterizing species’ ecological roles ...

Assessing the response of nematode communities to climate change-driven warming : a microcosm experiment [PDF]
, 2013 Biodiversity has diminished over the past decades with climate change being among the main responsible factors. One consequence of climate change is the increase in sea surface temperature, which, together with long exposure periods in intertidal areas ...

Stable isotopes unveil one millennium of domestic cat paleoecology in Europe
Scientific Reports, 2022 The domestic cat is the world's most popular pet and one of the most detrimental predators in terrestrial ecosystems. Effective protection of wildlife biodiversity demands detailed tracking of cat trophic ecology, and stable isotopes serve as a powerful ...
