Plant genetic diversity affects multiple trophic levels and trophic interactions [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Abstract Intraspecific genetic diversity is an important component of biodiversity. A substantial body of evidence has demonstrated positive effects of plant genetic diversity on plant performance. However, it has remained unclear whether plant genetic diversity generally increases plant performance by reducing the pressure of plant ...

Trophic assimilation efficiency markedly increases at higher trophic levels in four-level host–parasitoid food chain [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016 Trophic assimilation efficiency (conversion of resource biomass into consumer biomass) is thought to be a limiting factor for food chain length in natural communities. In host-parasitoid systems, which account for the majority of terrestrial consumer interactions, a high trophic assimilation efficiency may be expected at higher trophic levels because ...

Predominantly Terrestrial Foraging and Reproductive Gains From a High Trophic Level Diet in Roof‐Nesting Herring Gulls (Larus argentatus) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionWild animal species often use human‐modified environments for foraging and reproduction, but this may require dietary diversification with fitness consequences.

Trophic state assessment of optically diverse lakes using Sentinel-3-derived trophic level index
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2022 An accurate estimation of trophic state of lakes with satellite remote sensing is a challenge due to the optical complexity and variability associated with inland waters. Match-up data from 393 sampling stations that has concurrent Sentinel-3 OLCI images

How directed is a directed network?
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 The trophic levels of nodes in directed networks can reveal their functional properties. Moreover, the trophic coherence of a network, defined in terms of trophic levels, is related to properties such as cycle structure, stability and percolation.

Niche partitioning and the role of intraspecific niche variation in structuring a guild of generalist anurans [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Intra-population niche differences in generalist foragers have captured the interest of ecologists, because such individuality can have important ecological and evolutionary implications. Few researchers have investigated how these differences affect the
