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 new study shows how the loss of large animals thousands of years ago still shapes ecosystems today and may affect their future stability.

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sampling snapper on coral reefs to assess their role in complex reef food web dynamics. “When you dive on these beautiful Red Sea reefs, one of the first things that you’ll notice is these snapper ...
