New paper in Ecological Indicators

A new paper in collaboration with our Polish colleagues, entitled “ Modification of benthic food web structure by recovering seagrass meadows, as revealed by trophic markers and mixing models” just came out in Ecological Indicators.

For this one, we combined stable isotopes and fatty acid trophic markers in a quantitative mixing model, to evaluate how presence of seagrass meadows influences food webs in the coastal Baltic Sea. You can read the paper here: http://hdl.handle.net/2268/221262
