Diet and trophic groups of an aquatic insect community in a tropical stream [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2004 The diet and trophic groups of an assemblage of aquatic insects were studied in a tropical stream. Genera of the orders Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, Lepidoptera, and Hemiptera showed feeding specialization. Others, such as Trichoptera, Coleoptera,

Trophic groups and modules: two levels of group detection in food webs. [PDF]
J R Soc Interface, 2015 Within food webs, species can be partitioned into groups according to various criteria. Two notions have received particular attention: trophic groups (TGs), which have been used for decades in the ecological literature, and more recently, modules. The relationship between these two group concepts remains unknown in empirical food webs.

Energetic differences between bacterioplankton trophic groups and coral reef resistance. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2016 Coral reefs are among the most productive and diverse marine ecosystems on the Earth. They are also particularly sensitive to changing energetic requirements by different trophic levels. Microbialization specifically refers to the increase in the energetic metabolic demands of microbes relative to macrobes and is significantly correlated with ...

Vegetation and Soil Aggregates Shape Nematode Communities and Energy Flow on the Loess Plateau [PDF]
MicroorganismsAlthough soil nematodes are central to belowground energy flow, how vegetation and soil aggregate characteristics interactively regulate the nematode community structure and energy dynamics remains poorly understood.

Insect invasion success depends on taxon and trophic group [PDF]
NeoBiotaThe majority of non-native animal species globally are insects, though some insect species are more successful invaders than others. These differences can be attributed, in part, to differences among dominant trophic groups.

Late Permian ichthyofauna from the North-Sudetic Basin, SW Poland [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2021 The late Permian time was a transformative period before the most severe mass extinction known. Even though fishes constitute a key component of marine ecosystems since the Silurian, their biogeographic patterns during the late Permian are currently ...
