A Bayesian model for assessing organic matter supply in complex marine food webs using amino acid stable isotope analysis [PDF]
PeerJWhile several software packages have been developed to solve stable isotope mixing models, none are currently equipped to trace the flow of organic matter through the lower trophic levels of planktonic food webs.

Preliminary trophic network analysis of subalpine Lake Annecy (France) using an Ecopath model [PDF]
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2009 Lake Annecy is the second largest natural lake in France, with intensive commercial and recreational fisheries. However, there is limited knowledge of its trophic interaction. A preliminary Ecopath model was fitted to study the trophic interaction in the

A Modelling Approach for the Management of Invasive Species at a High-Altitude Artificial Lake
Limnological Review, 2023 The ecosystem structure of a Mediterranean high-altitude artificial lake (Aoos Springs, Northwest Greece) was assessed and quantified using the Ecopath with Ecosim model.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The trophic position concept is central in system ecology, and in this study, trophic position (TP) estimates from stable-isotopes and an Ecopath mass-balance food web model for the Barents Sea were compared. Two alternative models for estimating TP from

Diversity, 2022 Rockfish (genus Sebastes) assemblages can inform mechanisms of coexistence and maintenance of diversity in ecological communities. Coexistence theory characterizes ecological assemblages as following either a deterministic niche differentiation model, or

Rethinking the lake trophic state index [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Lake trophic state classifications provide information about the condition of lentic ecosystems and are indicative of both ecosystem services (e.g., clean water, recreational opportunities, and aesthetics) and disservices (e.g., cyanobacteria blooms ...

Trophic state footprint index model and its application to Dianchi Lake, China
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Given ongoing changes in regional climate and hydrologic conditions, a vast of studies have reported that under-prediction or over-prediction of the trophic status of a water body was widely existing by classic trophic state index method, it would create

Trophic hierarchies illuminated via amino acid isotopic analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Food web ecologists have long sought to characterize the trophic niches of animals using stable isotopic analysis. However, distilling trophic position from isotopic composition has been difficult, largely because of the variability associated with ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 Ecological systems show a variety of characteristic patterns of biodiversity in space and time. It is a challenge for theory to find models that can reproduce and explain the observed patterns. Since the advent of island biogeography these models revolve
