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 ...

Subarctic regions are facing rapid changes in climate and land-use intensity. An international research team recently completed an investigation to see how these changes are affecting the food webs ...

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.
