The investigators at Debunked illustrate how the food chain actually operates across ecosystems. Clemson fired gymnastics ...

Areas near the poles are turning greener, while spots closer to the equator are getting bluer, researchers say.

Individual leopard seals specialize in specific prey types despite being generalist species, reshaping ecosystem dynamics.

Researchers measured the amount of nitrogen and carbon in the whiskers, which tells them the kinds of animals the leopard seals have eaten in the past few years. Both nitrogen and carbon ...

A new study led by researchers at Baylor University and University of Rhode Island has uncovered surprising details about ...

This long-term focus on specific prey can have powerful ecological consequences. At Cape Shirreff, Antarctica, in the ...

to a higher one. Usually around ten per cent of biomass is transferred between trophic levels in a healthy ecosystem and the remaining ninety per cent is used by the organisms during life processes .

These effects were only observed within each trophic level and not across the three trophic levels studied. Although the effects of biodiversity, especially genetic diversity across multi-trophic ...

About the study The researchers of the current study quantified AP levels present in edible tissue from several seafood species that are economically, historically, and culturally important in ...

The levels of biomagnification will be different at different trophic levels. For Example: In a pond of water, DDT was sprayed and the producers were found to have 0.04 ppm concentration of DDT.

Figure 2. Example of one of the seven causal models used to quantify the relationships between (species and genetic) diversity and ecosystem functions. We focused on seven ecosystem functions ...

Trophic levels aren’t fixed. US agriculture is highly mechanised and has a trophic level above 3, while Chinese agriculture is a labour-intensive activity with a trophic level below 2.5.
