      Sanchez-Hernandez, Javier; Cobo, Fernando (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-18)
      Background Brown trout, Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758, is a species of significant conservation and socio-economic importance. A consequence of this importance is the enormous amount of literature that has been published on the species in the last few decades. In general terms, brown trout has been considered as a size-selective predator, even though it is able to feed on a wide range of prey sizes. ...
    • Food Web Topology in High Mountain Lakes 

      Sanchez-Hernandez, Javier; Cobo, Fernando; Amundsen, Per-Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-16)
      Although diversity and limnology of alpine lake systems are well studied, their food web structure and properties have rarely been addressed. Here, the topological food webs of three high mountain lakes in Central Spain were examined. We first addressed the pelagic networks of the lakes, and then we explored how food web topology changed when benthic biota was included to establish complete trophic ...
