Rhythm of relationships in a social fish over the course of a full year in the wild
Background Animals are expected to adjust their social behaviour to cope with challenges in
their environment. Therefore, for fish populations in temperate regions with seasonal and …

[PDF][PDF] Size-dependent diet composition and feeding of Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) and northern pike (Esox lucius) in the Baltic Sea.
To understand food web dynamics, knowledge about factors influencing trophic interactions
is fundamental. Using stomach content analysis, we investigated size-dependent predator …

Damming salmon fry: evidence for predation by non‐native warmwater fishes in reservoirs
Complex predator–prey interactions over time have the potential to limit survival of
threatened native species. Reservoirs created by large dams in temperate ecosystems are …

Functional groups in piscivorous fishes
M Mihalitsis, DR Bellwood - Ecology and evolution, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Piscivory is a key ecological function in aquatic ecosystems, mediating energy flow within
trophic networks. However, our understanding of the nature of piscivory is limited; we …

Seasonal and diurnal patterns of littoral microhabitat use by fish in gravel pit lakes, with special reference to supplemented deadwood brush piles
The habitat quality of the littoral zone is of key importance for almost all lentic fish species. In
anthropogenically created gravel pit lakes, the littoral zone is often structurally homogenized …

Is bigger better? Evaluation of size‐selective predation on age‐0 Walleye
EE Grausgruber, MJ Weber - North American Journal of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The success of fish stocking programs is dependent on poststocking survival. However,
survival can be influenced by size‐selective mortality, where larger individuals are expected …
