Ionic liquids (ILs) are organic salts with low melting point that are being considered as green
replacements for industrial volatile organic compounds. The reputation of these solvents as …

Traditionally, tCle major biotic determinants of animal community structure were assumed to
6e competition and predation. Recent tlzeoretical, experimental and field studies indicate …

Experimental manipulations of fish in a Northern California river during summer base flow
reveal that they have large effects on predators, herbivores, and plants in river food webs …

Ecomorphological analyses that search for patterns of association between morphological
and prey-use data sets will have a greater chance of understanding the causal relationships …

Over the last three decades, many studies have attempted to explain forager diets by using
optimal diet theory (ODT). Despite some obvious successes, the utility of this theory remains …

Potential constraints on the evolution of phenotypic plasticity were tested using data from a
previous study on predator‐induced morphology and life history in the freshwater snail …

Alien species (those carried outside their original ranges by human activities) have strongly
affected the distribution and abundance of mollusks in many North American fresh waters …

The ontogeny of many size—structured organisms is marked by a series of niche shifts that
divides a population into ecologically distinct stages. Consequently, overall population …

We evaluate the goals of meta‐analysis, critique its recent application in ecology, and
highlight an approach that more explicitly links meta‐analysis and ecological theory. One …

It is generally believed that the functional design of an organism relates to its ecology, yet
this ecomorphological paradigm has historically suffered from the lack of a rigorous …
