1. The mean and variance of ecological variables are dependent on sampling attributes such as the coverage of environmental heterogeneity (sampling extent) and spatial scale. Trophic niche width is of
IntroductionStable isotope analysis has been widely used in the study of the trophic structure of marine micronekton in recent years. MethodsIn this study, the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope value
Relating the effects of foraging niche variation to reproductive dynamics is critical to understand species response to environmental change. We examined foraging niche variations of the slender-bille
