Researchers invert a classical approach to modeling food webs. Instead of trying to replicate stable, complex ecosystems using simplistic representations of species interactions, the authors' novel ...
A food web is a detailed interconnecting diagram that shows the overall food relationships between organisms in a particular environment. The simplest explanation is that food webs are "who eats whom" ...
Webs aren’t just for spiders. They can, in fact, describe vast networks of interconnected relationships within ecosystems, based on the food preferences of plants and animals. Understanding a “food ...
New research provides the latest evidence that climate change is having an impact on food webs in high-latitude ecosystems. Biologist Amanda Koltz of The University of Texas at Austin in the Alaskan ...
In the Grand Canyon reach of the Colorado River, two species play an outsized role in the fate of mercury in the aquatic ecosystem, and their numbers are altered by flood events. In the Grand Canyon ...
In research published last week in the journal Nature Communications, U.S. Geological Survey biologist Dylan Gomes and a team of researchers looked specifically at the food web and how energy is ...
Organisms in their environments: the evolutionary backdrop -- Conditions -- Resources -- Life, death and life histories -- Intraspecific competition -- Dispersal, dormancy and metapopulations -- ...
In a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, authors Gabriel Gellner and Kevin McCann from the University of Guelph and SFI External Professor Alan Hastings (UC ...
