Effective conservation of species and ecosystems requires the understanding of important
ecological traits, such as dietary habits, food webs, and trophic niches. In diet studies, the …

The construction of increasingly detailed species interaction networks is extending the
potential applications of network ecology, providing an opportunity to understand complex …

Microplastics (plastic particles< 5 mm in size) are highly available for ingestion by a wide
range of organisms, either through direct consumption or indirectly, via trophic transfer, from …

Dietary metabarcoding has vastly improved our ability to analyse the diets of animals, but it
is hampered by a plethora of technical limitations including potentially reduced data output …

Long‐lived top predators shape biodiversity structure in their ecosystems and predator–prey
interactions are critical in decoding how communities function. Studies on the foraging …

Animal dietary information provides the foundation for understanding trophic relationships,
which is essential for ecosystem management. Yet, in marine systems, high‐resolution diet …

Predator diets are largely influenced by prey availability and abundance. Yet, in
heterogenous marine environments, identifying the prey species consumed by diving …

Accurate estimates of animal diet composition are essential to untangle complex interactions
in food webs. Biomarkers and molecular tools are increasingly used to estimate diet …

Sex‐specific diet information is important in the determination of predator impacts on prey
populations. Unfortunately, the diet of males and females can be difficult to describe …

Mesopelagic fish and squid occupy ocean depths extending below the photic zone and their
vertical migrations represent a massive pathway moving energy and carbon through the …
