Estimated time of Completion: Activity and discussion can take up to 2 90-minute blocks depending on the amount of research Food webs show the interaction of different producers and consumers in an ...
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 ...
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 ...
On a grassy hill near where I met the ecologist Jennifer Dunne at the Smithsonian National Zoo, a lion craned its shaggy head back to watch a helicopter fly over. It was a stark illustration of 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 ...
