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

Trophic levels of Tidal and Non-Tidal Marshes of Southern Mesopotamia
Maǧallaẗ al-baṣraẗ al-ʻulūm al-zirāʻiyyaẗ, 2020 Carlson’s Trophic State Index (CTSI) was applied to assess the trophic status of two kind of southern Mesopotima marshes. Six stations were selected, three in non-tidal Chebiyesh marshes and other three in tidal East Hammer marsh.
