Modeling Food Assemblage Dynamics in Western Mississippi Sound Regarding Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Larval Performance
… Previous studies speculate upon the potential of food particle size as a food limitation for emerging larval cohorts resulting in limiting successful recruitment into the reefs (Klein et al. 2024a,b). Utilizing ambient salinity and temperatures outlined in Klein et al. (2024a), simulated food …

Interactions with earthworm communities: a laboratory-based approach with potential applications for soil restoration
… Selected environmental variables (e.g food poison, food particle size and soil bulk density) were manipulated in order to quantify observed species interactions and subject earthworms to condditions that could be encountered at restored sites. Results demonstrated that all species could …

Larval development and feeding ecology of Hermissenda crassicornis (Eschscholtz) and Aeolidia papillosa (Linnaeus)
… with shell length of the larvae in relation to food particle size. The results are discussed in a comparative review of larval development in the Eolidoidea. Secondly, the relative dependency of nudibranch larvae on feeding ability is discussed with respect to the morphological and developmental …

Smelt (Retropinna retropinna) population dynamics and predation by rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) in Lake Taupo
… process. Modal groups occurred at lengths where food intake was equivalent to metabolic maintenance requirements and this was controlled by the interaction of diet breadth, the size structure and quantity of the food resource and the number of fishes sharing the same food particle size range. …
