Aquatic animal telemetry: a panoramic window into the underwater world
BACKGROUND Global aquatic environments are changing profoundly as a result of human
actions; consequently, so too are the ways in which organisms are distributing themselves …

Personality, foraging behavior and specialization: integrating behavioral and food web ecology at the individual level
Behavioral traits and diet were traditionally thought to be highly plastic within individuals.
This view was espoused in the widespread use of optimality models, which broadly predict …

The ecological importance of crocodylians: towards evidence‐based justification for their conservation
Large‐bodied predators are well represented among the world's threatened and
endangered species. A significant body of literature shows that in terrestrial and marine …

Freshwater megafauna shape ecosystems and facilitate restoration
Freshwater megafauna, such as sturgeons, giant catfishes, river dolphins, hippopotami,
crocodylians, large turtles, and giant salamanders, have experienced severe population …

The adaptive capacity of lake food webs: from individuals to ecosystems
Aquatic ecosystems support size structured food webs, wherein predator‐prey body sizes
span orders of magnitude. As such, these food webs are replete with extremely generalized …

Multi-tissue stable isotope analysis and acoustic telemetry reveal seasonal variability in the trophic interactions of juvenile bull sharks in a coastal estuary
P Matich, MR Heithaus - Journal of Animal Ecology, 2014 - JSTOR
1. Understanding how natural and anthropogenic drivers affect extant food webs is critical to
predicting the impacts of climate change and habitat alterations on ecosystem dynamics. 2 …

Factors affecting individual foraging specialization and temporal diet stability across the range of a large “generalist” apex predator
Individual niche specialization (INS) is increasingly recognized as an important component
of ecological and evolutionary dynamics. However, most studies that have investigated INS …

The dimensionality of individual niche variation
The inherently multidimensional nature of the niche has not yet been integrated into the
investigation of individual niche specialization within populations. We propose a framework …

Individual variation in ontogenetic niche shifts in habitat use and movement patterns of a large estuarine predator (Carcharhinus leucas)
P Matich, MR Heithaus - Oecologia, 2015 - Springer
Ontogenetic niche shifts are common among animals, yet most studies only investigate
niche shifts at the population level, which may overlook considerable differences among …
