The significance of partial migration for food web and ecosystem dynamics

T Peller, F Guichard, F Altermatt - Ecology Letters, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Migration is ubiquitous and can strongly shape food webs and ecosystems. Less familiar,
however, is that the majority of life cycle, seasonal and diel migrations in nature are partial …

Response of soil microbial communities to mixed beech-conifer forests varies with site conditions

JZ Lu, S Scheu - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2021 - Elsevier

Transient top‐down and bottom‐up effects of resources pulsed to multiple trophic levels

MA McCary, JS Phillips, T Ramiadantsoa, LA Nell… - Ecology, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Pulsed fluxes of organisms across ecosystem boundaries can exert top‐down and bottom‐

Predator‐driven behavioural shifts in a common lizard shape resource‐flow from marine to terrestrial ecosystems

O Lapiedra, N Morales, LH Yang… - Ecology …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Foraging decisions shape the structure of food webs. Therefore, a behavioural shift in a
single species can potentially modify resource‐flow dynamics of entire ecosystems. To …

Biogeographic features mediate marine subsidies to island food webs
