A food web is the natural interconnection of food chains and a graphical representation of what-eats-what in an ecological community. Ecologists can broadly...

The soil food web is the community of organisms living all or part of their lives in the soil. It describes a complex living system in the soil and how...

A marine food web is a food web of marine life. At the base of the ocean food web are single-celled algae and other plant-like organisms known as phytoplankton...

A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web, often starting with an autotroph (such as grass or algae), also called a producer, and typically...

The microbial food web refers to the combined trophic interactions among microbes in aquatic environments. These microbes include viruses, bacteria, algae...

Fishing down the food web is the process whereby fisheries in a given ecosystem, "having depleted the large predatory fish on top of the food web, turn to increasingly...

to a top consumer is called the food chain. Food chains in an ecological community create a complex food web. Food webs are a type of concept map that...

flow of energy and the successive loss of energy as it travels up the food web are patterns in energy flow that are governed by thermodynamics, which...

as habitat modification and mutualisms can be important determinants of food web structures. However, it remains unclear whether these findings generalize...

trophic level of an organism is the position it occupies in a food web. Within a food web, a food chain is a succession of organisms that eat other organisms...

positions in the ocean food webs. The position that a fish occupies in a food web is called its trophic level (Greek trophē = food). The organisms it eats...

consumption and processing of phytoplankton and other food sources, zooplankton play a role in aquatic food webs, as a resource for consumers on higher trophic...

The World Wide Web (WWW or simply the Web) is an information system that enables content sharing over the Internet through user-friendly ways meant to...

that much below ground diversity is ecologically redundant and that soil food webs exhibit a higher degree of omnivory. However, evidence is accumulating...

A web series (also known as webseries, short-form series, and web show) is a series of short scripted or non-scripted online videos, generally in episodic...

difficult to place in food webs: a trematode with multiple hosts for its various life cycle stages would occupy many positions in a food web simultaneously,...

Sylvain Bonhommeau and colleagues argued in 2013 that across the global food web, a fractional human trophic level (HTL) can be calculated as the mean trophic...

role of primary producers as the foundation of the marine food web, polynyas are a critical food source for a variety of organisms such as fish, birds, and...

climate variations. Phytoplankton form the base of marine and freshwater food webs and are key players in the global carbon cycle. They account for about...

important is because it plays a prominent role when interwoven with other food webs. Most of the solar energy reaching the Earth is in the range of visible...

feed on the fungi and bacteria in a chain of life that comprises the soil food web. There are in the 21st century three main classes of manures used in soil...

result, virtually all input carbon, energy and nutrients enter the soil food web, having been neither emitted in greenhouse gases and heat nor leached out...

what they eat into body mass. They are an important food source for predators and part of the food web dynamics of many of the world's ecosystems. The skin...

vents may occur where chemosynthetic sulfur bacteria form the base of the food web. A marine coastal ecosystem is a marine ecosystem which occurs where the...
