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 ...

Trophic ecology of Caribbean octocorals: autotrophic and heterotrophic seasonal trends
Coral reefs, 2020 Studies over the past decades indicate that octocorals are becoming the dominant group in some areas of the Caribbean. Yet, basic knowledge about the trophic ecology of these organisms and their seasonal and species-specific variability is still scarce ...

Food Web Trophic Structure at Marine Ranch Sites off the East Coast of Korea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Understanding the trophic ecology of the giant Pacific octopus Enteroctopus dofleini is challenging in developing marine ranches and in reestablishing its regional stocks against the severe stress of fishing. We adopted carbon and nitrogen stable isotope

TROPHIC CIRCULATION IN ECOSYSTEMS
Ecosistemas y Recursos Agropecuarios, 2016 The trophic aspect of ecology has been studied for more than six decades; in this contribution we address theoretical aspects relative to the concept of trophic ow at the ecosystem level and from the thermodynamics point of view.

Beyond the fish-Daphnia paradigm: testing the potential for pygmy backswimmers (Neoplea striola) to cause trophic cascades in subtropical ponds [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Trophic cascades, or indirect effects of predators on non-adjacent lower trophic levels, are a classic phenomenon in ecology, and are thought to be strongest in aquatic ecosystems.

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.

Intra‐ and interspecific variation in trophic ecology of ‘predatory’ ants in the subfamily Ponerinae
Ecological Entomology, 2020 1. The characterisation of energy flow through communities is a primary goal of ecology. Furthermore, predator–prey interactions can influence both species abundance and community composition.

Neotropical Ichthyology, 2022 In the Southeastern Tropical Atlantic, Haemulidae family play an important role both environmentally, acting as a link between lower and higher trophic levels, and socioeconomically, being widely caught by artisanal fleets.

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 ...
