Prey selection by the common dolphin: Fulfilling high energy requirements with high quality food
Which characteristics define the prey species constituting the diet of a given predator?
Answering this question would help predict a predator's diet and improve our understanding …

The ecosystem in practice: Interest and problems of an old definition for constructing ecological models
Since its inception, the ecosystem concept has been widely used in ecology and is
increasingly finding application within other disciplines. In more recent times within ecology …

Differential responses of size‐based functional groups to bottom–up and top–down perturbations in pelagic food webs: a meta‐analysis
We performed a meta‐analysis of 31 lake mesocosm experiments to investigate differences
in the responses of pelagic food chains and food webs to nutrient enrichment and fish …

Stable isotope analysis confirms substantial differences between subtropical and temperate shallow lake food webs
Differences in trophic web structure in otherwise similar ecosystems as a consequence of
direct or indirect effects of ambient temperature differences can lead to changes in …

Food web topology in high mountain lakes
Although diversity and limnology of alpine lake systems are well studied, their food web
structure and properties have rarely been addressed. Here, the topological food webs of …

Evidence for size-selective predation by Antarctic humpback whales
Animals aggregate around resource hotspots, but what makes one resource more appealing
than another can be difficult to determine. In March 2020 the Antarctic fjord Charlotte Bay …

Food‐web aggregation, methodological and functional issues
Trophic species in food webs are often aggregated into fewer groups, using theoretical and
empirical approaches, either for modelling tractability or because of the lack of data …
