the detrital food chain is dominant (Smith & Smith 2009). In deep-water aquatic ecosystems, with their low standing biomass, rapid turnover of organisms, and high rate
others (< 25%; 13 species), with only one species in between. Such a food web is consistent with the contemporary Delta resembling many freshwater lentic systems in community composition and ecosystem function (Moyle et al.2012). This is generally similar to some freshwater lakes, where some ...
Size spectrum theory, on the other hand, suggests higher biomass can also potentially be sustained for large predators that feed ‘down’ the food web3,15 - i.e. on the lowest trophic levels, which are typically the smallest organisms - because mass-specific production (and the production-to...
While supplements like Mitolyn can provide a significant boost to NAD+ levels and cellular energy, they work best when combined with a diet that nourishes your body with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. For instance, Mitolyn helps support NAD+ production, but consuming foods rich i...
Here we explore the influence of model personality on a comparison of four Southern Ocean regional food-web models. We construct alternative model versions which sequentially remove aspects of personality (alternative model ‘currencies’, schemes for aggregating organisms into functional groups, and ...
Moreover, the call consequently accredited that dimension of DS work which pushes for freedom from genetically modified organisms in Europe. This aspect of DS work is not included in any metrical evaluations. Unanticipated was also the call for a Protein Balance Indicator as an indicator of the ...
“I’m skeptical that these are new connections,” says Ben Chapman, associate professor of food safety at North Carolina State University, who runs a website called the Barfblog. “It’s stuff that’s always been there, and now we’re looking for it.” That would help explain why FDA-...

That being said, there are three commonly studied aspects of food-web structure that could be viewed in a different light given our observations of a consistent backbone. First, even though a backbone could appear to be in contrast with the stabilizing effect associated with compartmentalized food...
Consider a meta-community in which organisms randomly move between numerous coexisting local food webs. This ‘meta-food web’ can be viewed as a network of networks and, thus, characterized by two different kinds of network complexity: food-web complexity and meta-community complexity. Food-web...
