Trophic structure of apex fish communities in closed versus leaky lakes of arctic Alaska
SL Klobucar, P Budy - Oecologia, 2020 - Springer
Despite low species diversity and primary production, trophic structure (eg, top predator
species, predator size) is surprisingly variable among Arctic lakes. We investigated trophic …
