TL;DR: A comprehensive review of stable isotope analysis techniques, and a set of suggestions that transcend individual analytical approaches, are provided to help identify the most useful approaches to apply to a given data set.

TL;DR: The findings illustrate the ability of the functional trait structure approach to predict and detect both the filtering effects of different types of disturbances and the implications of the resulting changes in community structure for better understanding community responses to global change.

TL;DR: This paper examined the influence of extreme cold events on the northward range limits of a diverse group of tropical organisms, including terrestrial plants, coastal wetland plants and coastal fishes, sea turtles, terrestrial reptiles, amphibians, manatees, and insects.

TL;DR: In this article, an extreme cold event in south Florida caused widespread mortality of common snook, Centropomus undecimalis, a popular sport fish, and fishery-independent monitoring data in five south Florida estuaries showed that changes in catch rates of adult snook (>500 mm standard length) varied between no effects postevent to large effects and 4yr recoveries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified niche partitioning among upper trophic level coastal and estuarine species: American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis), bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas), common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), common snook (Centropomus undecimalis), and Atlantic tarpon (Megalops atlanticus), combined with published diet and life history demographic information.
