Scientists find that ecosystems across Africa follow similar patterns, with vegetation and human impact shaping food webs in ...

A study led by Associate Professor Kelton McMahon at University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography has found that food webs on tropical reefs are more fragile than we once thought.

A new study of mammal food webs across 127 protected areas in sub-Saharan Africa reports that plant productivity is the ...

Ecology is often understood as a hyperlocal thing. The ecology of a pond, for instance, is vastly complex, even if the pond ...

A groundbreaking study of 7,000-year-old exposed coral reef fossils reveals how human fishing has transformed Caribbean reef food webs: As sharks declined by 75 percent and fish preferred by humans ...

In the face of growing global challenges to agricultural sustainability, a new study has uncovered the critical role of soil micro-food web complexity in enhancing soil fertility and promoting crop ...

There are many poorly understood links in the food web, often referred to as trophic relationships. Out in East Antarctica, a ...

To mitigate climate change, human-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions must be reduced as quickly and drastically as possible. Additionally, some of the CO2 already emitted needs to be safely removed ...

Evaluation of the main hypotheses proposed for the causes of decline and failure to recover of the western Steller sea lion population depends on understanding how food web linkages affect sea lions.

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 ...
