Polyunsaturated fatty acids in fishes increase with total lipids irrespective of feeding sources and trophic position [PDF]
, 2017 Trophic transfer and retention of dietary compounds are vital for somatic development, reproduction, and survival of aquatic consumers. In this field study, stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes, and fatty acids (FA) contents in invertebrates and fishes of

Reductions in the dietary niche of southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) from the Holocene to the Anthropocene. [PDF]
, 2020 The sea otter (Enhydra lutris) is a marine mammal hunted to near extinction during the 1800s. Despite their well-known modern importance as a keystone species, we know little about historical sea otter ecology.

Benthic meiofauna as indicator of ecological changes in estuarine ecosystems: The use of nematodes in ecological quality assessment [PDF]
, 2013 a b s t r a c t Estuarine meiofauna communities have been only recently considered to be good indicators of ecological quality, exhibiting several advantages over macrofauna, such as their small size, high abundance, rapid generation times and absence of

The Trophic status of Bidighinzu Reservoir (Sardinia) before and after the diversion of waste waters [PDF]
, 2001 The purpose of this paper was to assess the effect of the diversion of wastewater on the trophic status of Lake Bidighinzu, a hypertrophic man-made lake in Northern Sardinia, used as a drinking water reservoir.

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

Macronutrient cycling in surface waters [PDF]
, 2012 The levels and relative proportions of macronutrients set the conditions for life in surface waters. Man-made disturbances to macronutrient cycling have caused environmental problems such as eutrophication, acidification and global change.

DILSTORE software for ecological status assessment of lakes based on benthic diatoms [PDF]
, 2009 Until recently, only few diatom indices were developed for monitoring littoral zones of lakes. The available indices are not applicable for all lake types because species lists and environmental constraints’ ranges are different.

Microcystins in components of twelve New Hampshire lakes of varied trophic status [PDF]
, 1999 Cyanobacteria toxins, called microcystins (MCs), were found in components of twelve, stratified New Hampshire (USA) lakes of varied trophic status during the summer of 1998.

Linking food web functioning and habitat diversity for an ecosystem based management: A Mediterranean lagoon case-study [PDF]
, 2014 We propose a modelling approach relating the functioning of a transitional ecosystem with the spatial extension of its habitats. A test case is presented for the lagoon of Venice, discussing the results in the context of the application of current EU ...
