Patchiness of plankton ecosystem structure due to nutrient mixing along the shelf edge in the North Sea by Axelle Cordier, Jørgen Bendtsen, Niels Daugbjerg, Nikolaj From, Sigrún Huld Jónasdóttir, Erik Askov Mousing, Jens Tang Christensen, Teresa Silva, Katherine Richardson

“…These results suggested that impact from increased nutrient fluxes cascaded up the planktonic food web. As these regions of nutrient flux were very localised, this led to sub-mesoscale heterogeneity in plankton ecosystem structure. …”

The interplay of trophic interactions and game dynamics gives rise to life-history trade-offs, consistent personalities, and predator–prey and aggression power laws by Mohammad Salahshour

“…The model relates predator–prey scaling laws with food web control and shows that small offspring size, high relative prey mobility, low predator conversion efficiency, predator competition, and prey competition all favor prey control over the food web. …”

Community structure and diversity of meiofauna in seagrass beds on the eastern coast of Hainan Island, China by Kai Liu, Yuqing Guo, Mingming Zou, Weilin Chen, Wenjia Hu, Jianguo Du

“…Differences in the abundance, diversity, and community structure of benthic invertebrates between seagrass beds and adjacent unvegetated sediments significantly influence the health and stability of the entire food web. However, most studies to date have predominantly focused on macrofauna but overlooked their meiofauna community, which plays an important role in ecosystem function. …”
