Some effects of parasitism on food web structure: a topological analysis [PDF]

Network Biology, 2011
So far most of the food webs lack parasitism. It has been found that parasites can profoundly affect food web properties. In this study we tried to consider parasitism in the food web analysis in order to provide a basis for further and more complete ...

Top‐down effects of filter‐feeding fish and bivalves moderate bottom‐up effects of nutrients on phytoplankton in subtropical shallow lakes: An outdoor mesocosm study

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Biomanipulation has been widely used in the ecological restoration of eutrophic lakes for decades. However, biomanipulation is prone to failure if external nutrient loads are not reduced.

Ecology: Engineered food webs [PDF]

Current Biology, 1996
An important new study shows that, in a food web, the strengths and arrangement of the interactions between species are determining factors of stability of the system.

Dispersal Dynamics in Food Webs [PDF]

The American Naturalist, 2015
Studies of food webs suggest that limited nonrandom dispersal can play an important role in structuring food webs. It is not clear, however, whether density-dependent dispersal fits empirical patterns of food webs better than density-independent dispersal.

Understanding bio‐based polymers: A study of origins, properties, biodegradation and their impact on health and the environment

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of bio‐based polymer sources, their unique functional properties and their environmental impact, and addresses their role as sustainable alternatives. It discusses end‐of‐life options, including composting and anaerobic digestion for renewable energy.

Dynamics of Simple Food Webs [PDF]

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2015
We consider a simple food web with commensal relationship, where organisms utilize both external resources and resources produced by other organisms. We show that in such a community with no competition, there is at most one possible equilibrium for each fixed set of surviving species, and develop a natural condition that determines which species ...

Quantitative proteomic analysis reveals different characteristics of bladder cancer cells after exposure to bisphenol A

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Bisphenol A (BPA), a common chemical in plastics, exerts dual effects on bladder cancer cells: low doses promote growth and migration, while high doses suppress growth and migration. Multi‐omics and bioinformatics reveal BPA acts via MAPK and inflammatory pathways.

Metaweb approach to unravel food web structures: Exploring environmental changes and biotic interactions in Korean stream ecosystems

Ecological Indicators
Understanding food webs is crucial for grasping ecosystem functions and energy flows. However, the inherent complexity and variability of food web structures pose significant challenges to community ecology.
