Comparison Between Trophic Positions in the Barents Sea Estimated From Stable Isotope Data and a Mass Balance Model

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Biodiversity in model ecosystems, II: Species assembly and food web structure

open access: yes, 2005
This is the second of two papers dedicated to the relationship between population models of competition and biodiversity. Here we consider species assembly models where the population dynamics is kept far from fixed points through the continuous ...

Isotopic niche variability in macroconsumers of the East Scotia Ridge (Southern Ocean) hydrothermal vents: What more can we learn from an ellipse? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Aspects of between-individual trophic niche width can be explored through the isotopic niche concept. In many cases isotopic variability can be influenced by the scale of sampling and biological characteristics including body size or sex.

Review of trophic models for the Baltic Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
This review aims to be a representative overview over the available types of trophic models in order to investigate, if their output can be used to quantify existing food-web indicators for the EU ...

Trophic status and fish production potential of Golbolagh Lake (West of Kurdistan Province) [PDF]

open access: yesبوم‌شناسی آبزیان, 2017
The estimation of fish potential production and trophic status are two important and necessary parts of fisheries management in lakes. This study was conducted to determinate the trophic status and fish production potential of Golbolagh Lake, for one ...

Water quality assessment, trophic classification and water resources management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Quantification of water quality (WQ) is an integral part of scientifically based water resources management. The main objective of this study was comparative analysis of two approaches applied for quantitative assessment of WQ: the trophic level index ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Effects of climate on size structure and functioning of aquatic food webs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In aquatic food webs, the role of body size is notoriously strong. It is also well known that temperature has an effect on body size. For instance, Bergmann’s rule states that body size increases from warm to cold climates.

Evaluating the influence of lake morphology, trophic status and diagenesis on geochemical profiles in lake sediments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Recent geochemical studies provide evidence that changes in vertical distributions of nutrients in lake sediments are driven by anthropogenic activities, based primarily on trends of increasing concentrations in upper sediment layers.

Astrocyte‐Guided Maturation of Neural Constructs in a Modular Biosynthetic Hydrogel for Biohybrid Neurotechnologies

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A modular biosynthetic PVA–gelatin hydrogel crosslinked via visible‐light thiol‐ene chemistry is engineered as a coating for neural electrodes. Optimizing matrix composition and mechanical properties enables the hydrogel to support astrocytic populations that guide neural differentiation and functional maturation.
