Predation is a dominant structuring force in ecological communities. In aquatic
environments, predation on bivalves has long been an important focal interaction for …

Abstract Changes in macroalgal community structure caused by invasive seaweeds have
strong impacts on the associated macrofauna due to the role of macroalgae as autogenic …

Theory predicts that bottom-heavy biomass pyramids or 'stacks' should predominate in real-
world communities if trophic-level increases with body size (mean predator-to-prey mass …

Artificial structures can provide suitable space for invasive species through a colonisable
surface and refuge against predators. Besides several physical factors, invasive species can …

The Falkland Shelf is a highly productive ecosystem in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean. It is
characterized by upwelling oceanographic dynamics and displays a wasp-waist structure …

Ports are vulnerable to biological invasions because of the high shipping exchange and the
abundance and diversity of artificial structures. These artificial environments provide new …

Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are highly mobile, large marine apex predators that inhabit all
oceans. Despite being the most conspicuous top predator, little is known about their ecology …

The study compares the diet composition between juveniles and adults of the narrownose
smooth-hound Mustelus schmitti in areas with and without commercial bottom trawling using …

Ecological carryover effects occur in any situation in which an individual's previous history
and experience (eg, pelagic larval stages) influence performance in a subsequent state (eg …

Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios are used to assess diet composition by
determining bounds for the relative contributions of different prey to a predator's diet. This …
