The development of the isotopic niche, an n-dimensional hypervolume (with n being the
number of isotopes) occupied by a population in delta space, has revolutionized the study of …

Niche partitioning of time, space or resources is considered the key to allowing the
coexistence of competitor species, and particularly guilds of predators. However, the extent …

A wide variety of species depend on mangroves, making them essential habitats in tropical
and subtropical regions. While the function of mangrove habitat is well studied for taxa such …

Calculation of dietary niche characteristics using stable isotopes has become a popular
approach to understand the functional role of taxa across food webs. An underlying …

Biological invasion is one of the important reasons for the decline of freshwater biodiversity
in China and even in the world. The Pearl river basin is one of the most threatened areas in …

Understanding the movement ecology of marine species is important for conservation
management and monitoring their responses to environmental change. In this study, adult …

Over the last century anthropogenic activities have rapidly increased the influx of metals and
metalloids entering the marine environment, which can bioaccumulate and biomagnify in …

A global dataset of carbon stable isotope (δ 13 C) values from yellowfin, bigeye, and
albacore tuna muscle tissue (n= 4275) was used to develop a novel tool to infer broad-scale …

Nitrogen stable isotopes (δ15N) are typically used to estimate trophic position, providing
insight into ecological roles and broader food web structure. Ecological inferences drawn …

Climate change is threatening marine ecosystems and the distribution of species which rely
on them. Due to their capacity to sequester vast amounts of carbon, blue carbon ecosystems …
