Stable nitrogen isotope studies of the pelagic food web on the Atlantic shelf of the Iberian Peninsula (2007, background): “Food webs are thus structured in terms of organism size, as demonstrated in plankton (Fry & Quiñones, 1994, Rolff, 2000) and fish communities (Jennings et al., 2002a; Jennings & Mackinson, 2003).”
Food‐web structure varies along environmental gradients in a high‐latitude marine ecosystem (2018, background): “Consumers are mostly larger than their prey, as observed in both plankton and fish communities, and larger organisms have a higher trophic level and are more prone to omnivory and generalism (Jennings and Mackinson 2003).”
Body size and trophic position in a temperate estuarine food web (2008, result): “Many studies have reported results confirming this expectation (Cohen et al., 1993; France et al., 1998; Jennings et al., 2001; Woodward and Hildrew, 2002; Jennings and Mackinson, 2003).”
Food web structure and body size: trophic position and resource acquisition (2010, background): “2, our results suggest that the way in which large predators exploit resources within a food web could allow them to obtain more resources than those expected from the passive loss of energy through food chains (Brown and Gillooly 2003, Jennings and Mackinson 2003).”
Numerical abundance and biodiversity of below‐ground taxocenes along a pH gradient across the Netherlands (2005, background): “…higher stability when locally-operating small and abundant invertebrates, like nematodes, linked to either the Bacteria or the Fungi taxocene (Wardle et al., 2004; Mulder et al., 2005c), are functioning at the same spatial scale at the same time (cf. Jennings & Mackinson, 2003; Brose et al., 2005).”
Surfing the Biomass Size Spectrum: Some Remarks on History, Theory, and Application (2016, background): “2011) and a modified metabolic theory has been applied to a pelagic marine community (Brown and Gillooly 2003; Jennings and Mackinson 2003), we feel that a full development of the relationship among these theories, as begun by Rossberg (2013, section 22.”
Warming alters the size spectrum and shifts the distribution of biomass in freshwater ecosystems (2011, background): “…across multiple levels of organization, from individuals (Peters, 1983; Brown et al., 2004) and their interactions (Emmerson & Raffaelli, 2004; Berlow et al., 2009) to populations (Damuth, 1981; Jennings & Mackinson, 2003; Reuman et al., 2008), communities and ecosystems (Petchey et al., 2008).”
Modeling What We Sample and Sampling What We Model: Challenges for Zooplankton Model Assessment (2017, background): “Similar to the trophic food web structuring of Lindeman (1942), discrete size spectrum models (or macroecological models) aggregate individual organisms into discrete trophic levels based on size (Jennings and Mackinson, 2003; Jennings et al., 2008a).”
Beyond the ‘3/4‐power law’: variation in the intra‐and interspecific scaling of metabolic rate in animals (2005, unknown): “…should scale as M3/4 and population density as Mx3/4, observed scaling exponents are often significantly steeper (e.g. Cyr, 2000; Haskell, Ritchie & Olff, 2002; Cyr & Walker, 2004; Makarieva, Gorshkov & Li, 2004a ; but see Belgrano et al., 2002; Dobson et al., 2003; Jennings & Mackinson, 2003).”
Connecting the green and brown worlds . allometric and stoichiometric predictability of above- and below-ground networks (2013, background): “8 in a continuum due to derivation from the mass–abundance scaling (Box 2.1) Jennings et al. (2002), Jennings and Mackinson (2003), Kerr and Dickie (2001), Mulder (2006), Mulder et al. (2008, 2009), Mulder and Elser (2009), Sheldon et al. (1972), Siemann et al. (1996) Almost always positive, but…”
Application of macroecological theory to predict effects of climate change on global fisheries potential (2008, unknown): “However, trophic levels change during ontogeny (Pauly et al. 2001), and thus a single value of trophic level may not capture the full range of trophic levels that an organism can occupy in an ecosystem (Jennings et al. 2002, Jennings & Mackinson 2003).”
Bacterial traits, organism mass, and numerical abundance in the detrital soil food web of Dutch agricultural grasslands (2004, unknown): “A sizestructured food web is likely to contain small and abundant species that operate more locally than larger and less abundant species (cf. Jennings & Mackinson 2003).”
