Studying animal niches using bulk stable isotope ratios: an updated synthesis
ON Shipley, P Matich - Oecologia, 2020 - Springer
The development of the isotopic niche, an n-dimensional hypervolume (with n being the
number of isotopes) occupied by a population in delta space, has revolutionized the study of …

The influence of habitat homogenization on the trophic structure of fish fauna in tropical streams
JO Zeni, L Casatti - Hydrobiologia, 2014 - Springer
Habitat homogenization is one of the most important drivers of change in riverine fauna.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether habitat homogenization influences …

The importance of terrestrial subsidies in stream food webs varies along a stream size gradient
Cross system subsidies of energy and materials can be a substantial fraction of food web
fluxes in ecosystems, especially when autochthonous production is strongly limited by light …

Pulsed flows, tributary inputs and food‐web structure in a highly regulated river
Dams disrupt the river continuum, altering hydrology, biodiversity and energy flow. Although
research indicates that tributary inputs have the potential to dilute these effects, knowledge …

Assessment of nutritional subsidies to freshwater mussels using a multiple natural abundance isotope approach
AM Weber, JE Bauer, G Thomas Watters - Freshwater Biology, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Freshwater mussels are a particularly imperilled group of aquatic organisms. To date, there
is limited understanding of their dietary and nutritional subsidies, including those from both …

An assessment of assumptions and uncertainty in deuterium‐based estimates of terrestrial subsidies to aquatic consumers
Abstract The deuterium ratio (2H/1H) in tissue is often used to estimate terrestrial subsidies
to aquatic consumers because of strongly differentiated values between terrestrial and …
