The understudied and underappreciated role of predation in the mortality of fish released from fishing gears (2014, background): “With increasing predator body size, the range of prey sizes eaten expands (Scharf et al. 2000) and, with © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd, F I SH and F I SHER IES , 15, 489–505 497 very few exceptions, predators tend to be larger than their prey (Layman et al. 2005).”
On the relationship between trophic position, body mass and temperature: reformulating the energy limitation hypothesis (2007, background): “…trophic position and size (Vander Zanden et al. 2000, Jennings et al. 2001, Cocheret de la Morinière et al. 2003, Swanson et al. 2003, Deudero et al. 2004, Layman et al. 2005), suggesting that this relationship may be non-monotonic and driven by several interacting mechanisms (Genner et al. 2003).”
The ecological causes of individual specialisation. (2011, background): “For example, piscivorous fishes often have a single item in their stomachs (Layman et al. 2005), rendering them unsuitable for crosssectional stomach content analyses of individual specialisation .”
Stable isotope profiles of large marine predators: Viable indicators of trophic position, diet, and movement in sharks? (2011, background): “…and Worm 2003) and gender and (or) size classes targeted by area-specific fishing practices (Mucientes et al. 2009), a more thorough understanding of species-specific trophic dynamics and movement patterns of large predators with relation to changes in body size is required (Layman et al. 2005).”
Trophic level scales positively with body size in fishes (2011, background): “Empirically based exploratory analyses suggest that trophic level–body size relationships are highly idiosyncratic: some studies report strong positive correlations (France et al., 1998), some weakly positive relations (Fry & Quiñones, 1994) and others no relationship at all (Layman et al., 2005).”
Apparent Resource Partitioning and Trophic Structure of Large-Bodied Marine Predators in a Relatively Pristine Seagrass Ecosystem (2013, background): “Although analyzing samples over many years brings in potential bias due to temporal variation in signatures of prey and resource pools, such an approach can allow for detection of robust patterns that transcend shortterm and small-scale isotope variation (e.g. Layman et al. 2005).”
Getting to the fat of the matter: models, methods and assumptions for dealing with lipids in stable isotope analyses (2007, background): “1991; Keeling et al. 1995; Finney et al. 2002), material cycling (Bilby et al. 1996; Kitchell et al. 1999), animal migration (Hobson 1999), diet composition (Vandermerwe and Vogel 1978; Phillips 2001), niche shifts (Post 2003) and trophic structure (Ponsard and Arditi 2000; Post et al. 2000; Finlay ”
Connecting the green and brown worlds . allometric and stoichiometric predictability of above- and below-ground networks (2013, background): “…signatures have been stoichiomet- rically scaled on the same ecological network at the same time, despite many previous examples of investigations of individual components of this suite of measures (e.g. Jennings andWarr, 2003; Jennings et al., 2002; Layman et al., 2005; Ponsard and Arditi, 2000).”
Body size and trophic position in a temperate estuarine food web (2008, background): “Like Layman et al. (2005), we also found a positive but insignificant relationship between predator size (length) and trophic position estimated from nitrogen isotope data, and a significant relationship between mean body size of consumers and trophic position estimated by stomach content analysis.”
Marine biodiversity and ecosystem function relationships: The potential for practical monitoring applications (2015, unknown): “…with trophic level (for example, Romanuk et al. (2011) for ﬁ sh and France et al. (1998) for aquatic benthic communities) although it is recongnised that this is not always a consistent relationship (e.g. Layman et al. (2005) did not observed this relationship within a freshwater food web).”
