How organisms obtain energy to survive and reproduce is fundamental to ecology, yet
researchers use theoretical concepts represented by simplified models to estimate diet and …

The persistence of diverse communities and functioning ecosystems under increasing
anthropogenic pressure relies on food web rewiring and the ability of animals to expand or …

Portfolio effects (PEs) in ecology refer to the suite of phenomenon where the temporal
variation of aggregate ecosystem properties (ie, abundance) is lower than that of their …

Warming temperatures are altering communities and trophic networks across Earth's
ecosystems. While the overall influence of warming on food webs is often context …

Exploring how food webs are assembled from basic modules is charming and crucial for
understanding how communities are self-organized. As one of the basic modules, intraguild …

Unstable and simplified freshwater food webs impair the resilience of Canadian fisheries
facing environmental stressors. This study utilizes stable isotope analyses to assess trophic …

Large omnivores at the top of food webs play a key role in ecosystems, as their ability to feed
on multiple trophic levels stabilizes food-web dynamics and impacts ecosystem functioning …

Quantification of predation, herbivory, and parasitism is critical to understanding the
dynamics and trophic interactions of populations in an ecosystem. Such quantification can …

Alaska's northern-most coastline runs along the Beaufort Sea for~ 500 km between Point
Barrow and the US-Canada border (Fig. 1). Approximately half this coastline is skirted by …
