Trophic Patterns of Bighead Carp and Silver Carp Follow the Seasonality of Resource Availability

Trophic Patterns of Bighead Carp and Silver Carp Follow the Seasonality of Resource Availability

The influence of seasonality of the aquatic environment on food web has been notoriously understudied in empirical ecology. In this study, we focus on seasonal changes in one key attribute of a food web, the trophic level. We determine whether seasonal variations of fish trophic levels could be indi...
