A food web is a graphic that shows how energy is transferred between organisms in an ecosystem, whether it is aquatic or terrestrial. It is not the same thing as a food chain, which follows a linear energy path, such as the sun gives energy to the grass, the grass is eaten by a gra...

The web includes organisms from all regions of the pond (i.e., littoral, limnetic, profundal, and benthic zones) as well as terrestrial organisms that interact with the aquatic community or have aquatic life-stages. The food web has three attributes that are often omitted from freshwater food...
Tropical reef-building corals flourish in highly oligotrophic waters with low food and nutrient availability (Gove et al., 2015). The productivity of these metaorganisms is supported by the association between corals and their endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae (Muscatine and Porter, 1977). In this ...
First, even though a backbone could appear to be in contrast with the stabilizing effect associated with compartmentalized food webs26, most of the networks used in this study presented a modular structure (Compartmentalized structure of food webs section of Supplementary Note 1). This suggests that...
In an ecosystem , no food chain is independent . Different food chains are interlinked to form a network called food web. The food webs operate in both aquatic as well as terrestrial ecosystems . Answer the following equations on food chains and food webs : Why do the organisms of a ...

A new study reveals that organic matter whose breakdown would yield only minimal energy for hungry micro-organisms preferentially builds up in floodplains, illuminating a new mechanism of carbon sequestration.
