Understanding energy flow through ecosystems and among sub-habitats is critical for understanding patterns of biodiversity and ecosystem function. It can also be of considerable applied interest in ...

While kelp forests persist along northern Maine's rocky coast, kelp abundance has declined by as much as 80% on the southern coast in recent decades. In its stead, carpet-like turf algae have moved in ...

A recent study quantifies the impact of biodiversity loss on ecological functions by tracking energy flows within them. It found that declines in birds and small mammals have led to a significant ...

New study examines the flow of ecological energy across old-growth forests, logged forests and oil palm. The study surveys mammal and bird species across these landscapes to calculate food energetic ...
