Movement of fishes in the aquatic realm is fundamental to their ecology and survival.
Movement can be driven by a variety of biological, physiological and environmental factors …

Classically, biomass partitioning across trophic levels was thought to add up to a pyramidal
distribution. Numerous exceptions have, however, been noted including complete pyramidal …

The distribution of biomass among trophic levels provides a theoretical basis for
understanding energy flow and the hierarchical structure of animal communities. In the …

Food chain theory is one of the cornerstones of ecology, providing many of its basic
predictions, such as biomass pyramids, trophic cascades and predator–prey oscillations …

The allocation of metabolic energy to growth fundamentally influences all levels of biological
organisation. Here we use a first‐principles theoretical model to characterise the energetics …

Investigating the drivers of fish assemblage trophic structure is a critical question, in order to
better understand ecosystem functioning, predict the effects of perturbations and implement …

Marine ecosystem models that incorporate fisheries and climate change are essential for
forecasting and guiding sustainable ecosystem management decisions. A key challenge in …

Size generally dictates metabolic requirements, trophic level, and consequently, ecosystem
structure, where inefficient energy transfer leads to bottom-heavy ecosystem structure and …

Policies designed to address current challenges to the sustainability of fisheries generally
use an ecosystem‐based approach–one that incorporates interactions between fishes …

What did coral reef ecosystems look like before human impacts became pervasive? Early
efforts to reconstruct baselines resulted in the controversial suggestion that pristine coral …
