Global mercury concentrations in biota: Their use as a basis for a global biomonitoring framework
An important provision of the Minamata Convention on Mercury is to monitor and evaluate
the effectiveness of the adopted measures and its implementation. Here, we describe for the …

Response and effect traits of coral reef fish
The response-and-effect framework is a trait-based approach that seeks to break down the
mechanistic links between ecosystem disturbances, species' traits, and ecosystem …

The significance of partial migration for food web and ecosystem dynamics
Migration is ubiquitous and can strongly shape food webs and ecosystems. Less familiar,
however, is that the majority of life cycle, seasonal and diel migrations in nature are partial …

Body size, trophic position, and the coupling of different energy pathways across a saltmarsh landscape
Body size is considered an important structuring mechanism of food webs because
consumers are usually larger and more mobile than their prey and may couple energy …

Body size and trophic level increase with latitude, and decrease in the deep-sea and Antarctica, for marine fish species
The functional traits of species depend both on species' evolutionary characteristics and
their local environmental conditions and opportunities. The temperature-size rule (TSR), gill …

Functional groups in piscivorous fishes
Piscivory is a key ecological function in aquatic ecosystems, mediating energy flow within
trophic networks. However, our understanding of the nature of piscivory is limited; we …

[HTML][HTML] Spatial distribution and speciation of mercury in a recovering deepwater redfish (Sebastes mentella) population from St. Lawrence Estuary and Gulf, Canada
Mercury (Hg) pollution poses a significant threat to the environment, particularly in the form
of methylmercury (MeHg). However, little is known about the distribution and influencing …

Global investigation of lake habitat coupling by fishes
Habitat coupling, where consumers acquire resources from different habitats, plays an
important role in ecosystem functioning. In this study, we provide a global investigation of …

Testing food web theory in a large lake: The role of body size in habitat coupling in Lake Michigan
The landscape theory of food web architecture (LTFWA) describes relationships among
body size, trophic position, mobility, and energy channels that serve to couple heterogenous …

Rapid range expansion of a marine ectotherm reveals the demographic and ecological consequences of short-term variability in seawater temperature and dissolved …
The distributions of marine ectotherms are governed by physiological sensitivities to long-
term trends in seawater temperature and dissolved oxygen. Short-term variability in these …
