Ecological consequences of phenotypic plasticity
Phenotypic plasticity is widespread in nature, and often involves ecologically relevant
behavioral, physiological, morphological and life-historical traits. As a result, plasticity alters …

Omnivory and stability in freshwater habitats: Does theory match reality?
KL Wootton - Freshwater Biology, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Omnivory, feeding at more than one trophic level, is a prevalent feature of freshwater
ecosystems. Understanding where and when omnivory is important, its relevance for …

Trophic niche size and overlap decreases with increasing ecosystem productivity
The production and transfer of biomass through trophic relationships is a core ecosystem
function. The movement of energy through the food web is mediated by organisms operating …

Stability and persistence of food webs with omnivory: Is there a general pattern?
The relationship between omnivory and stability has been the subject of a longstanding
debate in ecology. Early theory predicted that omnivory would decrease the probability of …

Consumer trophic positions respond variably to seasonally fluctuating environments
The effects of environmental seasonality on food web structure have been notoriously
understudied in empirical ecology. Here, we focus on seasonal changes in one key attribute …

Coexistence of intraguild predators and prey in resource‐rich environments
P Amarasekare - Ecology, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
The prevalence of intraguild predation (IGP) in productive environments has long puzzled
ecologists. Theory predicts the exclusion of intraguild prey from such environments, but data …
