Contrasting structural complexity diferentiate hunting strategy in an ambush apex predator
Říha, Milan; Gjelland, Karl Øystein; Děd, Vilém; Eloranta, Antti; Rabaneda-Bueno, Ruben; Baktoft, Henrik; Vejřík, Lukáš; Vejříková, Ivana; Drastik, Vladislav; Šmejkal, Marek; Holubová, Michaela; Jůza, Tomáš; Rosten, Carolyn; Sajdlová, Zuzana; Økland, Finn; Peterka, Jiří (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Structural complexity is known to influence prey behaviour, mortality and population structure, but the effects on predators have received less attention. We tested whether contrasting structural complexity in two newly ... -
European catfsh (Silurus glanis) as a freshwater apex predator drives ecosystem via its diet adaptability
Vejřík, Lukáš; Vejříková, Ivana; Blabolil, Petr; Eloranta, Antti; Kočvara, Luboš; Peterka, Jiří; Sajdlová, Zuzana; The Chung, Son Hoang; Šmejkal, Marek; Kiljunen, Mikko; Cech, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Apex predators play a key role in ecosystem stability across environments but their numbers in general are decreasing. By contrast, European catfish (Silurus glanis), the European freshwater apex predator, is on the increase. ... -
Macrophytes shape trophic niche variation among generalist fishes
Vejříková, Ivana; Eloranta, Antti; Vejřík, Lukáš; Šmejkal, Marek; Cech, Martin; Sajdlová, Zuzana; Frouzova, Jaroslava; Kiljunen, Mikko; Peterka, Jiří (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Generalist species commonly have a fundamental role in ecosystems as they can integrate spatially distinct habitats and food-web compartments, as well as control the composition, abundance and behavior of organisms at ... -
Stable isotopes and gut contents indicate differential resource use by coexisting asp (Leuciscus aspius) and pikeperch (Sander lucioperca)
Vašek, Mojmír; Eloranta, Antti; Vejříková, Ivana; Blabolil, Petr; Říha, Milan; Jůza, Tomáš; Šmejkal, Marek; Matěna, Josef; Kubečka, Jan; Peterka, Jiří (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Differential use of habitat and prey resources is an important mechanism that may allow coexistence of sympatric species. Unlike interactions between smaller cyprinid and percid fishes, the resource use by coexisting ...
