Trophic Levels and Functional Feeding Groups of Macroinvertebrates in Neotropical Streams (2006, unknown): “The relative flexibility in trophic levels could reduce niche overlap among and within species and therefore, decrease the inter- and intraspecific competition ( Woodward & Hildrew, 2002 ).”
Seeing Double:: Size-Based and Taxonomic Views of Food Web Structure (2011, background): “The way in which the range of prey sizes a predator consumes changes with the predator’s size has also been explored, especially in aquatic systems where gapelimited predation is prevalent (Leaper and Huxham, 2002; Sinclair et al., 2003; Warren and Lawton, 1987; Woodward and Hildrew, 2002; Woodward ”
Body size in ecological networks. (2005, background): “[2,3, 15 ]) and, although there are some notable exceptions (e.g.”
BODY SIZE AND TROPHIC POSITION IN A DIVERSE TROPICAL FOOD WEB (2005, background): “…Huxham 2002), and thus trophic position (i.e., the average level, relative to primary producers, at which an organism feeds) often increases with body size within a given food web (Cohen et al. 1993, France et al. 1998, Jennings et al. 2001, Woodward and Hildrew 2002, Jennings and Mackinson 2003).”
Who is eating whom? Morphology and feeding type determine the size relation between planktonic predators and their ideal prey (2012, background): “Aquatic ecosystem models increasingly address size as a trait, a strategy that has already been settled for non-planktonic food webs (Cohen et al. 1993, Woodward & Hildrew 2002, Andersen & Beyer 2006).”
Activity patterns of carnivores in the rain forests of Madagascar: implications for species coexistence (2012, unknown): “Because similar-sized carnivores often have high dietary overlap, it is informative to explore patterns of temporal niche separation by comparing similarbody-sized carnivores (Donadio and Buskirk 2006; Woodward and Hildrew 2002).”
Stability and persistence of food webs with omnivory: Is there a general pattern? (2012, background): “However, as many consumers select resources based on availability, size or nutritional quality rather than trophic level per se (Diehl 1993, Woodward and Hildrew 2002), species’ diets can include plant matter as well as herbivorous and carnivorous prey (Polis et al. 1989, Polis 1991).”
Importance of parasites and their life cycle characteristics in determining the structure of a large marine food web (2005, unknown): “Cascade models (e.g. Pimm 1982) and derivations such as niche models (e.g. Warren 1994; Woodward & Hildrew 2002) rely on a body size hierarchy from larger predators to smaller prey as a structuring determinant.”
Species loss and the structure and functioning of multitrophic aquatic systems (2004, background): “Often species in aquatic systems occupy one trophic level while young and another trophic level in the adult stage (Wu and Culver 1992), and large ontogenetic shifts in trophic position can occur even among insect larvae (Woodward and Hildrew 2002).”
Foodweb structure in a tropical Asian forest stream (2004, background): “…shifts in diet were observed in a few species, such as Euphaea decorata, Brotia hainanensis and Macrobrachium hainanense, and have been observed in other predators and omnivores (Lancaster and Robertson 1995, TavaresCromar and Williams 1996, Lancaster and Waldron 2001, Woodward and Hildrew 2002).”
Body size and trophic position in a temperate estuarine food web (2008, background): “Many ecologists have suggested that body size can influence trophic hierarchies (Warren and Lawton, 1987; Lawton, 1989; Cohen et al., 1993; Memmott et al., 2000; Neubert et al., 2000; Woodward and Hildrew, 2002).”
