The development of the isotopic niche, an n-dimensional hypervolume (with n being the
number of isotopes) occupied by a population in delta space, has revolutionized the study of …

Microchemical analyses of fish otoliths have revolutionized fisheries science. Molecules
deposited within otoliths may originate from ambient water and diet, with molecular …

Despite widespread recognition of the role of body size in fish trophic ecology, little attention
has been focused on this issue in isotopic studies, particularly in tropical systems. 2. We …

Understanding mesopredator trophic interactions is crucial to understanding the dynamics of
food webs because mesopredators provide the link between apex predators and lower …

Estimates of trophic levels (TLs) are used to calibrate, parameterize, and validate foodweb
models and to calculate metrics and indicators of foodweb structure and human impacts. We …

In recent years, there has been an exponential increase in the research popularity of
microplastics (MPs) in offshore marine environments. However, there is still a gap in the …

Theory predicts that bottom-heavy biomass pyramids or 'stacks' should predominate in real-
world communities if trophic-level increases with body size (mean predator-to-prey mass …

Mesopelagic fishes play an important role in the transfer of organic material in the photic
zone to depth although the trophodynamic partitioning amongst co-existing and presumably …

Throughout their life history, many animals transition among heterogeneous environments to
facilitate behaviours such as reproduction, foraging and predator avoidance. The dynamic …

Abstract The Adriatic Sea is one of the largest areas of occurrence of shared small pelagic
stocks and the most fished area of the Mediterranean Sea, which is in turn one of the most …
