UC Santa Barbara marine scientists are uncovering just how tightly the beach and the nearshore are connected along the ...
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 ...
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 ...
A school of fish swims alongside sharks. Predator–prey relationships are shifting as declines in large top predators and increases in smaller, more generalist species are reshaping fish food webs ...
Artificial light at night not only alters the landscape, but also profoundly disrupts natural ecosystems. A recent study by the RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau shows that light pollution can ...
Wildlife biologists used a novel technique to trace the movement of carbon through Arctic and boreal forest food webs and found that climate warming resulted in a shift from plant-based food webs to ...
The conversion of rainforest into plantations erodes and restructures food webs and fundamentally changes the way these ecosystems function, according to a new study published in Nature. The findings ...
