TLDR
In this paper, the authors propose a DEB model in time, length and energy, and the effects of compounds on budgets, as well as a co-variation of DEB parameter values.Abstract:

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that micro-PS cause feeding modifications and reproductive disruption in oysters, with significant impacts on offspring, providing ground-breaking data on microplastic impacts in an invertebrate model, helping to predict ecological impact in marine ecosystems.

Declining body size: a third universal response to warming?
TL;DR: A review of recent studies shows heterogeneity in the magnitude and direction of size responses, exposing a need for large-scale phylogenetically controlled comparative analyses of temporal size change as mentioned in this paper, which will increase both understanding of the underlying mechanisms and physiological consequences of size shifts and therefore, the ability to predict the sensitivities of species to climate change.

On the Use of Stable Isotopes in Trophic Ecology
TL;DR: This work expects progress in SIA resulting from standardization of methods and models, calibration of model parameters through experimentation, andContinuing to be a useful tool in reconstructing diets, characterizing trophic relationships, elucidating patterns of resource allocation, and constructing food webs.

Nutrient limitation on terrestrial plant growth--modeling the interaction between nitrogen and phosphorus.
TL;DR: This work uses a simple model of plant growth and nutrient uptake to explore the consequences for the plant's relative growth rate of letting plants invest differentially in N and P uptake and finds a smooth transition between limiting elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling the ecological niche from functional traits
TL;DR: It is shown how integration of the three frameworks permits calculation of activity constraints, vital rates and population growth rates and species distributions and when integrated with contemporary niche theory, functional trait niche models hold great promise for tackling major questions in ecology and evolutionary biology.
