Researchers use AI to track plankton as warming seas change the base of the marine food web, which could mean lower-quality ...

Microplastics—tiny pieces of plastic less than five millimetres in size—have been found in marine and freshwater animals ranging from tiny zooplankton to large whales. However, researchers are still ...

Phytoplankton is an important component of the food-web and is predated by a wide variety of aquatic organisms, such as water fleas, copepods and fish. These microscopic algae also play a crucial role ...

New research shows what the loss of land mammals has done to food webs over the past 130,000 years. “While about 6% of land mammals have gone extinct in that time, we estimate that more than 50% of ...

A new conceptual paper argues that the biomolecular packaging of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, not their elemental ratios ...

Deep-sea mining poses significant risks for a vital, hidden part of the ocean. That’s the message from a new University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa study, the first to truly look at the impact of mining waste ...

Microplastics — tiny pieces of plastic less than five millimetres in size — have been found in marine and freshwater animals ranging from tiny zooplankton to large whales. However, researchers are ...

Wildlife biologists used a novel technique to trace the movement of carbon through Arctic and boreal forest food webs and found that climate warming resulted in a shift from plant-based food webs to ...
