• The pelagic foodweb in the upwelling ecosystem of Galicia (NW Spain) during spring: natural abundance of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes (2003, unknown): “…measurement of the natural abundance of stable isotopes in key organisms of different individual size would allow not only for the determination of foodweb complexity in a given ecosystem (Jennings et al., 2001, 2002) but also for the study of changes in diet during the growth of some organisms.”
• Marine mammals from the southern North Sea: feeding ecology data from δ13C and δ15N measurements (2003, background): “However, a relationship between body size and δ15N value has been shown for several marine species (Jennings et al. 2002), complicating data interpretation.”
• Long-term trends in the trophic structure of the North Sea fish community: evidence from stable-isotope analysis, size-spectra and community metrics (2002, unknown): “This approach overlooks the significant impact of fishing on the size structure of populations (Beverton and Holt 1957) and overlooks changes in trophic level with body size (Jennings et al. 2002).”
• Stable nitrogen isotope studies of the pelagic food web on the Atlantic shelf of the Iberian Peninsula (2007, background): “One application of size-based analysis has been to describe the structure of benthic food webs and their response to human impacts (France et al., 1998; Jennings et al., 2002b).”
• Modeling environmental effects on the size-structured energy flow through marine ecosystems. Part 1: The model (2007, background): “…and because prey size is limited by the allometric diameter of predator’s mouth (Bone et al., 1999), predator–prey relationships are, in many marine systems, mostly determined by size (Lundvall et al., 1999; Scharf et al., 2000; Jennings et al., 2001 and Jennings et al., 2002; Shin and Cury, 2004).”
• Abundance-body mass relationships in size-structured food webs (2003, background): “While the mean body mass of species is only weakly correlated with their trophic level, trophic level increases continuously with body mass in the whole food web (Fry & Quinones 1994; France et al. 1998; Jennings et al. 2001, 2002a ).”
• Ontogenetic dietary changes of coral reef fishes in the mangrove-seagrass-reef continuum: stable isotopes and gut-content analysis (2003, background): “…1995a,b, Hyndes et al. 1997), while others have reported an ontogenetic relationship between δ15N or δ13C and animal size (e.g. Fry 1983, Rau et al. 1983, SholtoDouglas et al. 1991, France 1996, France et al. 1998, Hentschel 1998, Marguillier 1998, Overman & Parrish 2001, Jennings et al. 2002).”
• Taking account of catchability in groundfish survey trawls: implications for estimating demersal fish biomass (2007, methodology): “Given the importance of size structure in aquatic foodwebs (Boudreau and Dickie, 1992; Duplisea and Kerr, 1995; Rice and Gislason, 1996; Duplisea et al., 1997; Jennings et al., 2002), and the importance placed on fish size in assessing the impact of fishing on fish communities in proposals for Ecolo”
• Succession of the animal community in a Mediterranean temporary pond (2004, background): “The increase of biomass in large size classes and the increase in predator density indicate that the effect of predation was increasing because large body sizes are related to high trophic levels in benthic communities (Jennings et al. 2002).”
• Functional diversity responses to changing species richness in reef fish communities (2008, methodology): “…dimensions, gut length, and other morphological traits that affect feeding behavior, size and type of food that can be consumed (Scharf et al. 2000, Jennings et al. 2002, Kulbicki et al. 2005); classification of species using this method gave 4 maximum size categories (<10, 10–25, 25–50, and >50…”
• Use of size-based production and stable isotope analyses to predict trophic transfer efficiencies and predator-prey body mass ratios in food webs (2002, methodology): “…life cycle (Cushing 1975), and since cannibalism, cross-predation and transient predator-prey relationships are common (Pope et al. 1994, Boyle & Bolettzky 1996), there are compelling reasons to adopt size rather than species-based analyses of marine food webs (Sheldon et al. 1972, Kerr 1974).”
