By exploring uncertainty in the model outcomes we identify the need to: i) quantify changes in carbon flow through sponges, ii) determine the importance of food limitation for sponges, iii) assess the ubiquity of the recently described 'sponge loop', iv) determine the competitive relationships ...
Trophic levels are the different layers of food chains and food webs and food chains make up food webs. A food chain is a diagram that shows the...Become a member and unlock all Study Answers Start today. Try it now Create an account Ask a question Our experts can answer your to...
Logistic regression techniques were used to identify the key factors that might determine the susceptibility of dwellings to infestation.2. The overall percentages of dwellings that were infested, weighted to allow for the more intensive sampling used in certain categories of dwellings, were 1·83% ...
The objectives of this review were to identify the complexity of impacts to marine organisms through the food web from the contamination of i) plastic and ii) its associated chemicals, and identify the potential consequences to marine organisms, environmental services, and industries (Fig. 1B). ...
We then identify a number of ecological filters that structure urban forest invertebrate communities, such as changes in habitat structure, increased landscape imperviousness, microclimatic changes and pollution. We also discuss the complexity of ways that forest invertebrates respond to urbanisation, ...
How many trophic levels can a food chain have? The wing of a bird and a butterfly wing are what type of related structures? In which family does the fly Drosophila melanogaster belong? What are the seven taxa that identify Drosophila melanogaster?
(1964–2004) were analysed to identify climate- and non-climate-related driving forces affecting the population. In addition, regional projections of climate change were used to build scenarios for the potential effects on these driving forces until 2050. In the second step, the potential effects ...
The use of a high percentile avoids errors and bias associated with extreme values and avoids the need to identify the most sensitive water chemistry conditions within the entire continent. This requires that bioavailability calculations are performed for a large number of waters, and also means ...
Why are copepods important to the ocean food web? Why is the Atlantic cod a keystone species? Why are krill considered a keystone species? Why is it hard to identify keystone species? How does DDT enter a food web? How can invasive animal species affect biodiversity?
There is a necessity to develop techniques to identify bacterial communities on microplastics. 8. A special focus should be put on freshwater species as they may be at higher risk of some chemicals to be sorbed onto plastic surfaces (Llorca et al. 2018). 9. Many indigestible materials apar...
