Quantity and quality: unifying food web and ecosystem perspectives on the role of resource subsidies in freshwaters

AM Marcarelli, CV Baxter, MM Mineau, RO Hall Jr - Ecology, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Although the study of resource subsidies has emerged as a key topic in both ecosystem and
food web ecology, the dialogue over their role has been limited by separate approaches that …

Underground signals carried through common mycelial networks warn neighbouring plants of aphid attack

Z Babikova, L Gilbert, TJA Bruce, M Birkett… - Ecology …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The roots of most land plants are colonised by mycorrhizal fungi that provide mineral
nutrients in exchange for carbon. Here, we show that mycorrhizal mycelia can also act as a …

Nematomorph parasites indirectly alter the food web and ecosystem function of streams through behavioural manipulation of their cricket hosts

T Sato, T Egusa, K Fukushima, T Oda, N Ohte… - Ecology …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Nematomorph parasites manipulate crickets to enter streams where the parasites
reproduce. These manipulated crickets become a substantial food subsidy for stream fishes …
