Movement of fishes in the aquatic realm is fundamental to their ecology and survival.
Movement can be driven by a variety of biological, physiological and environmental factors …

Classically, biomass partitioning across trophic levels was thought to add up to a pyramidal
distribution. Numerous exceptions have, however, been noted including complete pyramidal …

The distribution of biomass among trophic levels provides a theoretical basis for
understanding energy flow and the hierarchical structure of animal communities. In the …

Food web projections are critical for evaluating potential risks to ecosystems and fisheries
under global warming. The temperature dependence of biological processes and regional …

Animal body-size variation influences multiple processes in marine ecosystems, but habitat
heterogeneity has prevented a comprehensive assessment of size across pelagic …

Food chain theory is one of the cornerstones of ecology, providing many of its basic
predictions, such as biomass pyramids, trophic cascades and predator–prey oscillations …

The true state of ocean biodiversity is difficult to assess, and there are few global indicators
to track the primary threat of overfishing. We calculated a 50-year Red List Index of extinction …

The allocation of metabolic energy to growth fundamentally influences all levels of biological
organisation. Here we use a first‐principles theoretical model to characterise the energetics …

Investigating the drivers of fish assemblage trophic structure is a critical question, in order to
better understand ecosystem functioning, predict the effects of perturbations and implement …

Introduction Mesopelagic fishes play a central role in the transfer of energy through open-
ocean food webs, particularly in the Southern Ocean where they are both important …
