Evaluating the effects of rainbow smelt on native piscivores in freshwater systems with a special focus on walleye recruitment and larval bioenergetics
… rainbow smelt establishment. A foraging-based bioenergetic model was created to determine if the zooplankton community that resultsfrom rainbow smeltestablishment creates an "energetic bottleneck" for larval walleye.I assessed larval walleye densities and pelagic zooplankton communities in four …

Predatory Impact of Exotic Cladoceran Cercopagis pengoi on the Zooplankton of Lake Ontario
… consumption demand of Cercopagis based on bioenergetic considerations. A comparison of average pre-and post-invasion abundances of Daphnia retrocurva, Bosmina longirostris and Diacyclops thomasi suggests that Cercopagis is having a major effect on zooplankton abundance in the lake. In the …

Optimizing cycling power
In this study we determine a viable bioenergetic model for power allocation during a cycling race. Various models have been proposed to address power allocation in races with two models rising above others: the Morton-Margaria Three Tank model and the Skiba Energy Balance model. The energy balance …

Bioenergetic and ecological consequences of diet variability in Atlantic croaker Micropogonias undulatus
… previously detected. Thus, I investigated the bioenergetic consequences of secondary piscivory to the distribution of croaker, to the condition of individuals within the population and to the ecosystem. Generalized additive models revealed that the biomass of anchovy explained some of the …

Macroscopic insights from mechanistic ecological network models in a data void
… at lower levels of organization. Network modeling and analysis, being a powerful tool that can capture the interconnections that embody complex behaviour, has therefore been at the forefront of complexity science. In ecology, the network paradigm is relatively young and there remain …
