Inter‐ and intraspecific variation in theropod dinosaur dental microwear and its palaeoecological implications

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Differences in skull and tooth morphology, stomach contents, and estimated bite force between medium‐to‐large sized (≥100 kg) predatory theropod dinosaurs have long been suspected to correlate with differences in their diets and dietary guilds (e.g., hypercarnivory, piscivory).

Effect of land use on soil nematode community composition and co-occurrence network relationship

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture
Land use influences soil biota community composition and diversity, and then belowground ecosystem processes and functions. To characterize the effect of land use on soil biota, soil nematode communities in crop land, forest land and fallow land were ...

EcoTran trophic network of non-detritus groups by trophic level.

open access: yes
The EcoTran trophic network is visualized here as a weighted, directed graph with detritus groups (86–90) removed (see Fig 6). Numbered nodes are functional groups (see Table 1 for numbers); arrows indicate directed edges (energy flows from producer ...

Hepatic morphology and serum biochemical profile according to dry and rainy seasons in Pygocentrus nattereri (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the physiological and morphological adaptations of the liver of the carnivorous fish Pygocentrus nattereri (piranha) in response to seasonal variations (dry and rainy seasons) in the Brazilian Pantanal. The objective was to describe how the liver, a central organ in metabolic regulation, responds to environmental ...

Spatio-temporal changes in the trophic structure of Rocky intertidal mollusc assemblages on a Tropical shore

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 2001
Patterns of the distribution and temporal variation of trophic groups within a benthic mollusk asemblage of a tropical shore (eastern tropical Pacific) were analysed in this study. Four intertidal rocky sites with different wave exposure were studied. A

Macroinvertebrate trophic groups in an andean wetland of colombia

open access: yes, 2013
In the wetland Jaboque (Bogotá, Colombia) the physical and chemical properties of the water and the food dietary guilds of the aquatic macroinvertebrate community were analyzed from April 2009 to January 2010. The wetland waters had a slightly acid character with high values of nitrate, ammonia and orthophosphate, so this ecosystem is classified as ...

Predation on marine bryozoan colonies: taxa, traits and trophic groups [PDF]

open access: yesMarine Ecology Progress Series, 2008
While bryozoans are important components of marine benthic ecosystems, their sig- nificance as food has scarcely been considered in any comparative study. An analysis of the phylo- genetic range of predators on bryozoan colonies was undertaken to elucidate relationships among different consumers.

Widespread distribution of large silesaurids evidenced by a new record from the Middle Triassic of southwest Gondwana

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
The largest silesaurid known from South America is described here, demonstrating that silesaurids reached large body sizes in southwestern Gondwana. This discovery further underscores the widespread geographic distribution and temporal persistence of large silesaurids across Pangea, despite faunal turnovers and environmental events such as the Carnian ...

An ecosystem model of San Pedro Bay, Leyte, Philippines: initial parameter estimates [PDF]

open access: yes
A mass-balance model of the trophic structure of San Pedro Bay, Leyte Province, Philippines was constructed using the Ecopath modeling software. The model is composed of 16 ecological groups (13 consumer, 2 producers, 1 detritus groups).
