| Title | Trophic Structure of Apex Fish Communities in Closed Versus Leaky Lakes of Arctic Alaska |
| Creator | Klobucar, Stephen L. Budy, Phaedra |
| Description | Despite low species diversity and primary production, trophic structure (e.g., top predator species, predator size) is surprisingly variable among Arctic lakes. We investigated trophic structure in lakes of arctic Alaska containing arctic char Salvelinus alpinus using stomach contents and stable isotope ratios in two geographically-close but hydrologically-distinct lake clusters to investigate how these fish may interact and compete for limited food resources. Aside from different lake... |
