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 …

To understand how Neotropical freshwater fishes (NFF) benefit society, we conducted a
broad literature survey to (i) map and list the ecosystem services (ES) generated by these …

The metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) and ecological stoichiometry (ES) are both prominent
frameworks for understanding energy and nutrient budgets of organisms. We tested their …

In streams, the creation of nutrient‐transformation hotspots by aggregated organisms may
have heterogeneous and strong cumulative influences on stream nutrient dynamics. Here …

Trade of ornamental aquatic species is a multi-billion dollar industry responsible for the
introduction of myriad fishes into novel ecosystems. Although aquarium invaders have the …

Fishes can play important functional roles in the nutrient dynamics of freshwater systems.
Aggregating fishes have the potential to generate areas of increased biogeochemical …

Consumer‐mediated nutrient supply is increasingly recognized as an important functional
process in many ecosystems. Yet, experimentation at relevant spatial and temporal scales is …

Consumers contribute to nutrient cycling in aquatic ecosystems by nutrient retention in
tissues, metabolic transformations and excretion, and promoting microbial processes that …

Since the restriction of Astyanax fasciatus to Brazil, most authors have assigned Central
American and southern Mexican forms of Astyanax to A. aeneus. However, molecular …

Sesarmid crabs play an important role in mangrove biogeochemical processes due to their
leaf-eating and burrowing activities. How leaf-eating mangrove crabs meet their nitrogen (N) …
