DNA metabarcoding, diversity partitioning and null models reveal mechanisms of seasonal trophic specialization in a Mediterranean warbler
Abstract Optimal Foraging Theory (OFT) predicts that a population's trophic niche expansion
should occur in periods of food scarcity as individuals begin to opportunistically exploit sub …

Fishes in a seasonally pulsed wetland show spatiotemporal shifts in diet and trophic niche but not shifts in trophic position
PJ Flood, WF Loftus, JC Trexler - Food Webs, 2023 - Elsevier
We examine temporal (seasonal) and spatial (habitat) effects on consumers' diet, trophic

Head shape predicts isotopic diet in anoles and day geckos
Trophic morphology affects resource acquisition; therefore, species differences in such traits
may be informative for inferring resource use overlap and potential species interactions. In …

Integrating isotopic and nutritional niches reveals multiple dimensions of individual diet specialisation in a marine apex predator
Dietary specialisations are important determinants of ecological structure, particularly in
species with high per‐capita trophic influence like marine apex predators. These species …
