Although the term environmental stress is used across multiple fields in biology, the inherent
ambiguity associated with its definition has caused confusion when attempting to …

By investigating evolutionary adaptations that change physiological functions, we can
enhance our understanding of how organisms work, the importance of physiological traits …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a contaminant of global concern that bioaccumulates and
bioamagnifies in marine food webs. Lower trophic level fauna are important conduits of …

A critical challenge to understanding the response of ecosystems to anthropogenic drivers is
characterizing the spatial and temporal variability of controls on food web dynamics. We …

Stable isotope analyses (SIA) of carbon and nitrogen are used routinely in food-web studies
to determine diet and trophic position. We tested several common assumptions of SIA by …

We examined connectivity among marsh subhabitats to determine the structural limits and
important components of a polyhaline salt marsh by studying the patterns of abundance …

Seasonal differences in the availability of resources potentially result in the food web
architecture also varying through time. Stable isotope analyses are a logistically simple but …

To better understand temperature's role in the interaction between local evolutionary
adaptation and physiological plasticity, we investigated acclimation effects on metabolic …

Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABFT; Thunnus thynnus) spawn primarily in the Gulf of Mexico and
Mediterranean Sea, but migrate to foraging habitats throughout the North Atlantic where they …

Classic bottom-up theory predicts that increased resource availability (for example,
nutrients) at the base of the food web will stimulate primary production and, in turn …
