Trophic compression of lake food webs under hydrologic disturbance

Abstract: . 2018. Trophic compression of lake food webs under hydrologic disturbance. Ecosphere 9(6):e02304. 10. 1002/ecs2.2304 Abstract. The need to protect biostructure is increasingly recognized, yet empirical studies of how human exploits affect ecological networks are rare. Studying the effects of variation in human disturbance intensity from decades past can help us understand and anticipate ecosystem change under alleviated or amplified disturbance over decades to come. Here, we use stable isotopes and an inno… Show more

“…Species with a broad trophic niche are successful in invading endemic communities or surviving disturbance (Bommarco et al 2010, Dammhahn et al 2017. Most empirical studies on the trophic-niche shifts in disturbed habitats have focused on the responses of individual species, while changes in trophic-niche structure at the community level have been studied only in aquatic systems (di Lascio et al 2013, Hansen et al 2018.…”

“…The observed shift in feeding behaviour, the act of flushing invasive piscivores out of the reservoir and improved smolt outmigration together demonstrated the potential of this extreme water management scenario for conferring survival benefits to future cohorts of juvenile salmon without compromising other requirements for the reservoir such as winter flood control (Murphy et al, 2019). These alternative outcomes between Washington and Oregon show how detrimental or advantageous consequences for ecosystem function and species of concern can manifest in complex ways over a continuum of water use intensity as mediated by the social‐ecological context driving requirements for threatened species recovery and water delivery or storage for human benefit (Hansen et al, 2018; McMeans et al, 2016; Zohary & Ostrovsky, 2011).…”

“…Studies evaluating patterns of resource use among top‐level piscivores in freshwater lakes have generally documented significant levels of trophic and or spatial‐habitat partitioning thought to reduce competition and bolster coexistence (Guzzo et al, 2016; Herwig et al, 2021; Hodgson et al, 1997). However, these patterns may be less pronounced in regulated systems such as reservoirs where human‐driven water manipulation can compress habitat availability and trophic diversity (Hansen et al, 2018; Murphy et al, 2019). Studies in regulated systems are rare, but needed for identifying processes that limit or promote coexistence amid expanding human‐induced disturbance, environmental change and water use (Hansen et al, 2018; Westrelin et al, 2021).…”

“…The stable isotope samples were crushed to a fine homogeneous powder using a ball mill. Subsamples were then pressed into ultra-pure tin capsules and analyzed using an Elementar Vario Micro-Cube elemental analyzer (Flash EA1112; Thermo Scientific, Monza, Italy) coupled with a continuous-flow isotope-ratio mass spectrometer (Delta V Advantage, Thermo Scientific, Dreieich, Germany) (Careddu et al, 2015;Hansen et al, 2018). The elemental analyzer and spectrometer were recalibrated after every 10 measurements following the manufacturer's directions.…”
