New research on desert isopods' dietary preferences is the revelation of the complex factors influencing their food choices.

A study published in Biodiversity and Conservation which involved the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the Spanish ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE biology students studying trophic levels, pyramids of biomass, and transfer of biomass. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got you!

New research questions the long-held theory that reintroduction of such a predator caused a trophic cascade, spawning renewal ...

And excretion rate may determine whether or not these microplastics also bioaccumulate across trophic levels. Here, a Galápagos penguin is perched on the molten rock of the Isabela Islands. The ...

A trophic cascade is when an apex predator, like the gray wolf, indirectly benefits plants by controlling the number of plant eaters, in this case elk. The results of a 20-year study in ...

To predict the cascading effect of bottom trawling on benthic and demersal fish communities, it is crucial to understand the trophic interactions between benthic and demersal fish and benthic ...

The link between herbivores’ fear of carnivores and the benefits for vegetation is what ecologists call a “trophic cascade,” the term for the impact that meat-eating predators can have on plants.

Our results suggesting a structuring impact linked to trophic level and depth are consistent with the recent conclusions reported by Chen et al. (2009). It appears here a specificity of small ...
