Time- and depth-wise trophic niche shifts in Antarctic benthos
PLOS ONE, 2018 Climate change is expected to affect resource-consumer interactions underlying stability in polar food webs. Polar benthic organisms have adapted to the marked seasonality characterising their habitats by concentrating foraging and reproductive activity in summer months, when inputs from sympagic and pelagic producers increase.

Mechanisms of trophic niche compression: evidence from landscape disturbance
, 2018 Natural and anthropogenic disturbances commonly alter patterns of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. However, how food webs respond to these changes remains poorly understood.

Coupling low and high trophic levels models: Towards a pathways-orientated approach for end-to-end models [PDF]
, 2009 Existing models of marine ecosystems address specific issues related to the bottom-up forcing of production or to the top-down effects of fishing on a limited range of the trophic spectrum.

Beyond Probiotics: Postbiotics for Healthy Aquaculture
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This critical review assesses limitations of probiotics and proposes postbiotics, preparations of inanimate microorganisms and their metabolites, as a more stable, controlled, and biosafe formulation. Postbiotics offer significant advantages during industrial aquafeed production and storage. However, their practical implementation is currently hindered

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The Aliança Formation (Jatobá Basin) represents lacustrine deposits formed in oxygenated waters that hosted a diverse fauna, including Hybodontiform sharks. Within this group, the Family Lonchidiidae comprises 11 valid genera, with Parvodus previously reported in Brazilian deposits from the Brejo Santo Formation (Araripe Basin, Late Jurassic ...

What shapes the trophic niche of European plethodontid salamanders? [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 The trophic niche is a life trait that identifies the consumer's position in a local food web. Several factors, such as ontogeny, competitive ability and resource availability contribute in shaping species trophic niches. To date, information on the diet of European Hydromantes salamanders are only available for a limited number of species, no dietary ...

Trophic niche features influence microplastic ingestion in Mediterranean fish species
, 2022 Widespread microplastic (MP) contamination in the marine environment has raised global concern in the last decade. Scientific evidence of the adverse effects of MP on organisms is growing fast and there is urgent need to fulfil the knowledge gaps about ...
