Hierarchicalization of chaotic food webs using Interpretive Structural Modeling [PDF]
Network Biology, 2013 Ecologists always meet complex food webs without clear hierarchical structure. At certain degree it will retard further analysis of food webs. In present study we transferred chaotic food webs into hierarchicalized food webs using Interpretive Structural

Some topological properties of arthropod food webs in paddy fields of South China [PDF]
Network Biology, 2015 To explore the topological properties of paddy arthropod food webs is of significance for understanding natural equilibrium of rice pests. In present study, we used Pajek software to analyze the topological properties of four full arthropod food webs in ...

Conduits of contamination to contemporary food webs of the Norfolk Broads [PDF]
, 2011 PhDDuring the 1960s-1980s antifouling applications containing the organotin tributyltin (TBT) were applied to craft on the Norfolk Broads, leaving a legacy of contaminants in sediments.

Trophic coherence determines food-web stability [PDF]
, 2014 Why are large, complex ecosystems stable? Both theory and simulations of current models predict the onset of instability with growing size and complexity, so for decades it has been conjectured that ecosystems must have some unidentified structural ...

What's in a tide pool? Just as much food web network complexity as in large open ecosystems.
PLoS ONE, 2018 Understanding the fundamental laws that govern complex food web networks over large ecosystems presents high costs and oftentimes unsurmountable logistical challenges.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Understanding food webs environmental condition is a challenging task since evaluations are limited by data on key ecosystem elements, by the availability of indicators that incorporate relevant guilds and by the difficulty in establishing cause-effect ...

The impact of 850,000 years of climate changes on the structure and dynamics of mammal food webs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Most evidence of climate change impacts on food webs comes from modern studies and little is known about how ancient food webs have responded to climate changes in the past. Here, we integrate fossil evidence from 71 fossil sites, body-size relationships
