The use of fatty acid (FA) tracers is a growing tool in trophic ecology, yet FA profiles are
driven by a number of abiotic and biotic parameters, making interpretation and appropriate …

In coastal ecosystems, top predators are exposed to a wide variety of nutrient and
contaminant sources due to the diversity of trophic webs within inshore marine habitats …

White sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) play a crucial ecological role, shaping ecosystems
through direct predation and risk effects. On the east coast of Australia, immature white …
