Trophic cascades are powerful indirect interactions that can control entire ecosystems. Trophic cascades occur when predators limit the density and/or behavior of their prey and thereby enhance ...

Why are parasites ecologically important? Parasites can shape community structure through their effects on trophic interactions, food webs, competition, biodiversity, and keystone species.

the evolution of trophic interactions, and the roles of genetics, ecology and geography in speciation and adaptive radiation. To analyze the evolution of social behaviour, we use a large clade of ...

A trophic level indicates a position within ... the researchers rebuilt its ecosystem network – a model of interactions among species within an ecosystem – using data from all known animal ...

Some microbes are able to assimilate dissolved organic matter and thus channel the energy to higher trophic levels through predator-prey interactions. "Across the study lakes, pelagic zooplankton ...
