Food-Web Structure in Four Locations Along the European Shelf Indicates Spatial Differences in Ecosystem Functioning

Studies of trophic interactions give valuable insights into the functioning of ecosystems and can be used to identify qualitative differences among ecosystems. Here, we use natural stable isotope concentrations (δ13C and δ15N) to study the food-web structure in four contrasting locations on the nort...
