Competition and Environmental Stress Impacts on Trophic Performance of Three Sympatric Insectivorous Lizard Species in Eastern Spain

Sci
Trophic ecology is an important aspect to consider when studying interactions between species, especially in ecologically similar species. We studied the trophic ecology of three sympatric insectivorous lizards in a dune system in the Eastern Iberian ...

Trophodynamics as a Tool for Understanding Coral Reef Ecosystems

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
The increased frequency of publications concerning trophic ecology of coral reefs suggests a degree of interest in the role species and functional groups play in energy flow within these systems.

Embracing variability in amino acid δ15N fractionation: mechanisms, implications, and applications for trophic ecology

Ecosphere, 2016
Compound‐specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) of individual amino acids (AAs) has become a powerful analytical tool in trophic ecology. Heavily fractionating “trophic” AAs (e.g., glutamic acid: Glu) provide a robust indicator of trophic transfer ...

A Statistical Social Network Model for Consumption Data in Food Webs

, 2013
We adapt existing statistical modeling techniques for social networks to study consumption data observed in trophic food webs. These data describe the feeding volume (non-negative) among organisms grouped into nodes, called trophic species, that form the

Solving the woolly mammoth conundrum: amino acid 15N-enrichment suggests a distinct forage or habitat [PDF]

, 2015
Understanding woolly mammoth ecology is key to understanding Pleistocene community dynamics and evaluating the roles of human hunting and climate change in late Quaternary megafaunal extinctions. Previous isotopic studies of mammoths’ diet and physiology

Evaluation of the Dual Impact of Nanotechnologies on Health and Environment Through Alternative Bridging Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how alternative invertebrate and small‐vertebrate models advance the evaluation of nanomaterials across medicine and environmental science. By bridging cellular and organismal levels, these models enable integrated assessment of toxicity, biodistribution, and therapeutic performance.

Stable Isotope Analyses in Aquatic Ecology (a review) [PDF]

Журнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2009
Theory and practice of analyses of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen for food trophic studies in aquatic ecology are regarded basing on literature, published primarily in the last decade.

Invasive signal crayfish and native noble crayfish show trophic niche shrinkage in sympatry [PDF]

NeoBiota
Studying the coexistence of native species and invasive species with similar functional traits, habitat usage, and feeding habits is crucial for understanding the dynamics of invasion and ecological changes in the invaded ecosystem.

Hemiparasitic plant impacts animal and plant communities across four trophic levels [PDF]

, 2015
1.Understanding the impact of species on community structure is a fundamental question in ecology. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that both sub-dominant species and parasites can have a disproportionately large impact.
