Sea-level rise and the emergence of a keystone grazer alter the geomorphic evolution and ecology of southeast US salt marshes
Keystone species have large ecological effects relative to their abundance and have been
identified in many ecosystems. However, global change is pervasively altering …

Individual variation in ontogenetic niche shifts in habitat use and movement patterns of a large estuarine predator (Carcharhinus leucas)
P Matich, MR Heithaus - Oecologia, 2015 - Springer
Ontogenetic niche shifts are common among animals, yet most studies only investigate
niche shifts at the population level, which may overlook considerable differences among …

Ecological niche partitioning within a large predator guild in a nutrient‐limited estuary
Within oligotrophic ecosystems, resource limitations coupled with interspecific variation in
morphology, physiology, and life history traits may lead to niche partitioning among species …

Coral reef pinnacles act as ecological magnets for the abundance, diversity and biomass of predatory fishes
Predation is a key ecological process regulating the structure and diversity of biological
communities, yet predators do not exist homogeneously in nature. Coral reefs possess …

Size, sex and individual‐level behaviour drive intrapopulation variation in cross‐ecosystem foraging of a top‐predator
Large‐bodied, top‐predators are often highly mobile, with the potential to provide important
linkages between spatially distinct food webs. What biological factors contribute to variation …
