The role of animals in modulating nutrient cycling [hereafter, consumer‐driven nutrient
dynamics (CND)] has been accepted as an important influence on both community structure …

Ecological stoichiometry has generated new insights into how the balance of elements
affects ecological interactions and ecosystem processes, but little is known about the …

Quantitative analytical approaches for isotopic niche analysis in the trophic diversity studies
are proliferating rapidly; however, the assumptions behind the isotopic niche applications …

Migrations of animals can transfer energy and nutrients through and among terrestrial and
aquatic habitats. Pool‐breeding amphibians, such as the wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) …

Elemental homeostasis has been largely characterized using three important elements that
were part of the Redfield ratio (ie, carbon: nitrogen: phosphorus). These efforts have …

Understanding the ecological consequences of evolutionary change is a central challenge
in contemporary biology. We propose a framework based on the~ 25 elements represented …

Stoichiometric rules may explain the allometric scaling among biological traits and body
size, a fundamental law of nature. However, testing the scaling of elemental stoichiometry …

The balance of stoichiometric traits of organisms is crucial for nutrient cycling and energy
flow in ecosystems. However, the impacts of different drivers on stoichiometric (carbon, C; …

Aim The aim was to document how body stoichiometry of heterotrophs varies globally and to
assess phylogenetic, trophic, habitat and body mass drivers of this interspecific variation in …

Nutrient recycling by fish can be an important part of nutrient cycles in both freshwater and
marine ecosystems. As a result, understanding the mechanisms that influence excretion …
