Ontogenetic dietary shifts (ODSs), the changes in diet utilisation occurring over the life span
of an individual consumer, are widespread in the animal kingdom. Understanding ODSs …

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 …

Predators typically are larger than their prey, and consequently, trophic level should
increase with body size. Whereas this relationship has helped in develo** predictions …

Understanding the sources of primary production supporting marine food webs is important
for conserving critical habitats. However, the importance of allochthonous versus …

The rates of interactions between predators and prey are fundamental to population and
food web dynamics. Yet, most ecological theory of predator–prey interaction rates deals …

The study of marine coastal food webs has a central role in the application of the integrated
ecosystem approach for marine management. Changes in food webs caused by natural or …

Intensive and massive fishing exploitation of various reef fish resources occurs in coastal
areas, including the Pteriocaesio tile (dark-banded fusilier). This study was conducted due to …

Reef sharks may be ecologically redundant, such that other mesopredatory fishes
compensate for their functions when they decline in number, preventing trophic cascades …

Ocean warming is already causing widespread changes to coral reef ecosystems
worldwide. Warming is having direct and indirect impacts on food webs, but their interaction …

Ecological similarity plays an important role in biotic interactions. Increased body size
