Future research directions on the “elusive” white shark
White sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, are often described as elusive, with little information
available due to the logistical difficulties of studying large marine predators that make long …

Best practices for use of stable isotope mixing models in food-web studies
Stable isotope mixing models are increasingly used to quantify consumer diets, but may be
misused and misinterpreted. We address major challenges to their effective application …

Are you what you eat? Effects of trophic discrimination factors on estimates of food assimilation and trophic position with a new estimation method
A key factor for estimates of assimilation of resources and trophic position based on stable
isotope data is the trophic discrimination factor (TDF). TDFs are assumed based on literature …

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 …

The effect of substituting fishmeal with poultry by‐product meal in diets for Totoaba macdonaldi juveniles
Four diets were formulated to evaluate the partial to total substitution of fishmeal with poultry

Dual fuels: Intra‐annual variation in the relative importance of benthic and pelagic resources to maintenance, growth and reproduction in a generalist salmonid fish
Ecological systems are often characterized as stable entities. However, basal productivity in
most ecosystems varies between seasons, particularly in subarctic and polar areas. How …

High uptake of sympagic organic matter by benthos on an Arctic outflow shelf
On Arctic shelves, benthic food-webs are tightly linked to overlying primary production. In the
seasonal ice zone, sympagic (ice-associated) primary production can be a major source of …
