متن کاملFLEXIBLE FORAGERS IN FOOD WEBS Consequences of adaptive foraging in diverse communities
1. Selective pressures acting on foraging activities constrain the strength of interaction, hence the stability and energetic availability in food webs. 2. Because such selective pressures are usually measured at the individual level and because most experimental and theoretical works focus on simple settings, linking adaptive foraging with community scale patterns is still a far stretch. 3. So...
متن کاملGlobal change in the trophic functioning of marine food webs
The development of fisheries in the oceans, and other human drivers such as climate warming, have led to changes in species abundance, assemblages, trophic interactions, and ultimately in the functioning of marine food webs. Here, using a trophodynamic approach and global databases of catches and life history traits of marine species, we tested the hypothesis that anthropogenic ecological impac...
متن کاملRheagogies: Modelling non-trophic effects in food webs
In a food web, nutrients flow via trophic links. For this reason, trophic interactions have a fundamental character due to the principle of mass conservation. To further comply with this principle, we consider a food web model that includes nutrient cycling. Non-trophic effects amongst species of the food web are modelled as interaction modifications, i.e., a functional change in the trophic in...
متن کاملLandscape variation influences trophic cascades in dengue vector food webs
The epidemiology of vector-borne diseases is governed by a structured array of correlative and causative factors, including landscape (for example, rural versus urban), abiotic (for example, weather), and biotic (for example, food web) factors. Studies of mosquito-borne diseases rarely address these multiple factors at large spatial scales, which limits insights into how human alterations of la...
