Trophic Dynamics and Niches of Salt Marsh Foraminifera [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1973 Energetic considerations of the growth of three species of littoral benthic foraminifera, Allogromia laticollaris, Rosalina leei , and Spiroloculina hyalina , have been made on laboratory-grown populations. Under optimum laboratory conditions A. laticollaris has the greatest intrinsic rate of increase (r = 2.533 org/day); S. hyalina (r = 1.472 org/day),

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 To adapt to ecological and environmental conditions, species can change their ecological niche (e.g., interactions among species) and function (e.g., prey‐predation, diet competition, and habitat segregation) at the species and guild levels.

Invasive signal crayfish and native noble crayfish show trophic niche shrinkage in sympatry [PDF]
NeoBiotaStudying the coexistence of native species and invasive species with similar functional traits, habitat usage, and feeding habits is crucial for understanding the dynamics of invasion and ecological changes in the invaded ecosystem.

Bioenergetics, Trophic Ecology, and Niche Separation of Tunas
, 2016 Tunas are highly specialized predators that have evolved numerous adaptations for a lifestyle that requires large amounts of energy consumption. Here we review our understanding of the bioenergetics and feeding dynamics of tunas on a global scale, with an emphasis on yellowfin, bigeye, skipjack, albacore, and Atlantic bluefin tunas.

Trophic ecology and niche overlap of two sympatric species of Rhamdia (Siluriformes, Heptapteridae) from northeast Oaxaca, Mexico [PDF]
Neotropical Biology and ConservationThe trophic ecology of fishes in the genus Rhamdia remains poorly reported. Here, we aim to describe the diet composition and infer the trophic levels, niche breadth, and niche overlap between Rhamdia guatemalensis and Rhamdia laticauda in northeast ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Although the concept of trophic interactions has been used for a long time, there are still considerable gaps in our understanding of the effect of various environmental factors on trophic interactions within river fish assemblages.
