Size-dependent Trophic Structure

Size-Dependent Trophic Structure is a theoretical framework in plankton ecology that characterizes the organization of energy transfer and predator–prey interactions within aquatic food webs according to the body size of planktonic organisms, where trophic roles and feeding relationships are primarily determined by size-based constraints and allometric scaling laws.
