On the prevalence and dynamics of inverted trophic pyramids and otherwise top‐heavy communities
Classically, biomass partitioning across trophic levels was thought to add up to a pyramidal
distribution. Numerous exceptions have, however, been noted including complete pyramidal …

[HTML][HTML] Functional diversity of aquatic ciliates
T Weisse - European Journal of Protistology, 2017 - Elsevier
This paper first reviews the concept of functional diversity in general terms and then applies
it to free-living aquatic ciliates. Ciliates are extremely versatile organisms and display an …

Increasing zooplankton size diversity enhances the strength of top‐down control on phytoplankton through diet niche partitioning
The biodiversity‐ecosystem functioning debate is a central topic in ecology. Recently, there
has been a growing interest in size diversity because body size is sensitive to environmental …
