• Trophic position estimates of marine teleosts using amino acid compound specific isotopic analysis (2015, unknown): “In fact, changes in diet are common in growing fish, as gape and motility limitations decrease with increasing size or age (Scharf et al. 2000; Romanuk et al. 2011).”
• Unravelling the ecological role and trophic relationships of uncommon and threatened elasmobranchs in the western Mediterranean Sea (2015, background): “For many fish species and sharks, there is a positive relationship between body size and trophic position (Romanuk et al. 2011, Heithaus et al. 2013).”
• Marine biodiversity and ecosystem function relationships: The potential for practical monitoring applications (2015, unknown): “Firstly, that the average body size increases 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.
