A predictive understanding of the ecological impacts of nonnative species has been slow to
develop, owing largely to an apparent dearth of clearly defined hypotheses and the lack of a …

This review provides a contemporary account of knowledge on aspects of introductions of
non‐native fish species and includes issues associated with introduction pathways …

Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses of human and animal tissues have become an
important means of studying both anthropogenic and natural food webs in aquatic …

The establishment of exotic game fishes to enhance recreational fisheries through
authorized and unauthorized stocking into freshwater systems is a global phenomenon …

This book presents the most comprehensive model yet for describing the structure and
functioning of running freshwater ecosystems. Riverine Ecosystems Synthesis (RES) is a …

Attached algae play a minor role in conceptual and empirical models of lake ecosystem
function but paradoxically form the energetic base of food webs that support a wide variety of …

We propose a framework for hypothesis‐testing of stable isotope ratios in ecological studies.
Statistical procedures are based on analysis of nested linear models and a residual …

The great lakes of the world represent a global heritage of surface freshwater and aquatic
biodiversity. Species lists for 14 of the world's largest lakes reveal that 15% of the global …

We conducted a diet-switching experiment using freshwater ocellate river stingrays
(Potamotrygon motoro) fed a novel earthworm (Eisenia foetida) diet to establish the relative …

The invasion of lionfish in the Caribbean is causing grave concern because of its deleterious
impacts on coral reef food-webs. We have used an Ecopath-with-Ecosim model to predict …
