Specialisation and diversity of multiple trophic groups are promoted by different forest features [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2018 AbstractWhile forest management strongly influences biodiversity, it remains unclear how the structural and compositional changes caused by management affect different community dimensions (e.g. richness, specialisation, abundance or completeness) and how this differs between taxa.

Time to rethink trophic levels in aquaculture policy [PDF]
, 2021 Aquaculture policy often promotes production of low‐trophic level species for sustainable industry growth. Yet, the application of the trophic level concept to aquaculture is complex, and its value for assessing sustainability is further complicated by ...

Importance of cobalt for individual trophic groups in an anaerobic methanol-degrading consortium [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1994 Methanol is an important anaerobic substrate in industrial wastewater treatment and the natural environment. Previous studies indicate that cobalt greatly stimulates methane formation during anaerobic treatment of methanolic wastewaters. To evaluate the effect of cobalt in a mixed culture, a sludge with low background levels of cobalt was cultivated in

Towards methodological approaches to implement the zooplankton component in “end to end” food-web models [PDF]
, 2009 The modelling of marine zooplankton has made great progress over the two last decades covering a large range of representations from detailed individual processes to functional groups. A new challenge is to dynamically represent zooplankton within marine

Trophic structure in response to land use in subtropical streams
, 2021 Land use in the uplands can substantially impact the biological community in stream ecosystems, but how the trophic structure of aquatic communities within riverine food webs respond to catchment land use changes within their respective catchment remains

Structure and dynamics of the macrobenthic communities of Ubatuba Bay, southeastern Brazilian Coast
Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2004 Species composition, distribution, density, biomass, diversity and trophic relationships of the macrobenthic communities in Ubatuba Bay, southeastern Brazilian coast, were investigated seasonally from August 1995 to June 1996. Sampling was carried out at

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

Modelling encounter rates and distribution of mobile predators and prey [PDF]
, 2009 Marine ecosystem models often contain modules for two phytoplankton compartments (flagellates and diatoms) and two zooplankton groups (micro- and mesozooplankton).
