An analysis of mining plumes in the Pacific Ocean reveals they kick up particles sized similarly to the more nutritious tidbits that plankton eat.

By Edward Carver The consequences of global warming, caused mainly by burning fossil fuels, are varied and many. Now scientists have documented yet another one: The ocean is losing its “greenness.” ...

New research shows that marine heat waves can reshape ocean food webs, which in turn can slow the transport of carbon to the deep sea and hamper the ocean's ability to buffer against climate change.

This episode explores two Vermont "food webs": the aquatic food web of Lake Champlain and the terrestrial food web in the time since wolves disappeared from the Vermont landscape. While food webs can ...

People with chronic conditions are taking medical research into their own hands, Betsy Ladyzhets reported in “Patient as scientist” (SN: 3/23/24, p. 22). Connor, a patient highlighted in the story, ...

Studying ancient food webs can help scientists reconstruct communities of species, many long extinct, and even use those insights to figure out how modern-day communities might change in the future.

Research by ecologists shows strong evidence in a freshwater lake of 'fishing down the food web' - the deliberate shift away from top predatory fish on the food chain to smaller species closer to the ...

Researchers discovered a prehistoric ecosystem filled with giant marine reptiles, revealing an unparalleled level of food web complexity. Predators that dominated the oceans 130 million years ago were ...
