The Coral Reef Food Web – like those of all highly diverse biological communities – is exceedingly complex.
Food chains include producers, which create the food for the rest of the ecosystem, and consumers, which eat other organisms to gain energy. What is the food web of the Great Barrier Reef? The food web of the Great Barrier Reef is a diagram that shows how energy is transferred through ...
Discover the fascinating food chain of a coral reef. Explore the different types of organisms in the food chain, including producers, primary...
but biotic interactions are rarely considered in investigations of extinction dynamics and ecosystem recovery. Here the authors present evidence that secondary extinction cascades were important during a Jurassic hyperthermal extinction event and that it took over 7 million years for community structure to ...
In this study, we assess the reliability of such reconstructions by simulating the fossilization of a highly threatened and disturbed modern ecosystem, a Caribbean coral reef. Using a high-resolution coral reef food web from Jamaica, we compare system structures of the modern and simulated fossil ...
Effective marine ecosystem-based management (EBM) requires understanding the key processes and relationships controlling the aspects of biodiversity, productivity, and resilience to perturbations. Unfortunately, the scales, complexity, and non-linear dynamics that characterize marine ecosystems often confound ma...
Coral reefs are really suffering across the tropics from climate-related disturbances, particularly oceanic warming. In spite of its tiny area, this ecosystem is a massive contributor to marine biodiversity and this study highlights how little we know about the food web sources sustaining that excepti...
We studied the food web structure and functioning of a coral reef ecosystem in the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia, characterized by low coral cover, high sea surface temperature and meso- to eutrophic waters. The Marquesas constitute a relevant ecosystem to understand the functioning of low div...
Marine plants in a coral reef ecosystem the fixation of dissolved molecular nitrogen in sea-water, the formation of an initial link in the food chain, the provision of a habitat for marine an... E.,A.,TitlyanovT.,... - 《Russian Journal of Marine Biology》 被引量: 10发表: 2012年 ...
珊瑚礁由于全球变暖以及人类的一些海底作业而濒临灭绝。对此，Coralbots却是一个挽救珊瑚礁的好帮手，它...
