The role of animals in modulating nutrient cycling [hereafter, consumer‐driven nutrient
dynamics (CND)] has been accepted as an important influence on both community structure …

Understanding how changes in biodiversity affects ecosystem functioning is imperative in
allowing Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM), especially when addressing global change …

The productivity of aquatic ecosystems depends on the supply of limiting nutrients. The
invasion of the Laurentian Great Lakes, the world's largest freshwater ecosystem, by …

The growing global population and the need for sustainable energy due to nonrenewable
resources necessitate innovative solutions to meet energy demands while minimizing …

Non-native species can simultaneously affect ecological structures, functions, and services
of the invaded ecosystem. In this paper, we report that the study of non-native species …

Differences in animal distributions and metabolic demands can influence energy and
nutrient flow in an ecosystem. Through taxa-specific nutrient consumption, storage, and …

Poeciliids are widely recognized as successful invaders, possessing traits associated with
invasion success. Native to Central America and south‐eastern Mexico, the twospot …

We examine temporal (seasonal) and spatial (habitat) effects on consumers' diet, trophic
position, trophic niche, and food-web topology in a subtropical oligotrophic wetland to …

The continued global loss of biodiversity highlights the importance of understanding how
species loss may impact ecosystem function. Shifting temperatures will accelerate species …

Consumer‐driven nutrient recycling can have substantial effects on primary production and
patterns of nutrient limitation in aquatic ecosystems by altering the rates as well as the …
