Fish diversity of floodplain lakes on the lower stretch of the Solimões River
TL;DR: The fish community of the Solimões floodplain lakes was studied by bimonthly samples taken from May 2001 to April 2002, showing an inverse gradient to the river flow, showing the highest diversity at Lake Sumaúma.
Evolutionary implications of large-scale patterns in the ecology of Trinidadian guppies, Poecilia reticulata
TL;DR: Guppies are found to be the most widely distributed freshwater fish in Trinidad and combined with its promiscuous mating system may promote gene flow across geographical scales that transcend local selection regimes.

Fungi are involved in the effects of litter mixtures on consumption by shredders
TL;DR: This work assessed the effect of litter mixing on all possible three-species combinations drawn from four tree species on both fungal assemblages and the rate of litter consumption by a common shredder, Gammarus fossarum, and found the greater development of some fungal species coincided with increased leaf consumption, which may have resulted from feeding preferences by these fungi.
Theoretical dynamics of competitors under predation.
TL;DR: Continuous population models of two prey species and a predator were explored by isocline analysis, finding that under constant predation many cases of threshold responses between two or more alternate stable states are possibly.
